Rolling Stone's List of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time
This seems to be a copyvio? Or is this actually keep-able? these types of lists seem 1) subjective as all hell and 2) copyrighted as they were published. Withdrawn per comments below, this appears to be de-facto legit for use on Wiki. ALKIVAR &trade; 21:36, 31 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. It is NPOV as it is clearly sourced and from a source ie Rolling Stone that can be considered to have some expertise. It is probably fair use as it provides the list as did other media outlets. If we reprinted the text as well, it could be a different story. Capitalistroadster 09:16, 31 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep if legal. While this particular list has attracted a lot of outrage, it's still notable given the long history and stature of Rolling Stone.  Note that if lists like this are in fact copyvios, then there a bunch that have to be yanked — the Rolling Stone article shows five of them, while Greatest albums of all time shows three more.

 * Keep, NPOV. Kappa 12:08, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The opinions/points of view of others do not violate NPOV as long as it's presented in a neutral fashion, and lists per se can't be copyrighted, just the commentary surrounding the list. 23skidoo 13:24, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per both Capitalistroadster and 23skidoo. It's also nice to be able to cite this in other articles with an electronic copy instead of making people look for a paper one (it is probably floating around elsewhere on the Internet, but being able to use double brackets to get to it is an added bonus).

 * Keep per the above three votes. We mantain NPOV, after all, by balancing lots of POVs, and Rolling Stone counts in this area.  We list all sorts of award winners and American Library top 100s, after all.  Anville 15:39, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
