List of virtuosi performers

 * Delete There is too much POV and original research, and people are just adding names of musicians they like, and it is getting out of control. Amalozemoff1 22:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but only for people who normally perform solo and are promoted as virtuosi. Gazpacho 23:08, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this is what categories are for. "Virtuoso" is a somewhat debased currency in these days of marketing hype, in the end it's best to debate it one by one in the articles rather than in this unsourced and therefore unverifiable list. Just zis Guy you know? 23:56, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep categories and lists are different things that do different jobs Jcuk 01:44, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I was going to nominate it for exactly the same reasons. Deltabeignet 05:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and JzG. --CrypticBacon 03:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 08:50, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but post clear criteria and trim down. Seano1 18:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Such an article is inherently POV, especially with the term "Virtuoso" being thrown around so easily these days. To prevent people from adding their favorite lead guitarist or whatnot, it could be less painful to instead create a pre-19th century list, since it is objectively easier to see who went down history documented and remembered as a true virtuoso. If that even makes sense. Nezbie 19:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fatally POV. One person's "virtuosity" is another's "pointless noodling". --Fire Star 14:02, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
