Draft:List of Dead South Korean Musicians


Already deleted thrice from mainspace (List of dead South Korean musicians, with identical content, if memory serves). An inherently WP:INDISCRIMINATE (WP:NOT) topic that cannot be included in the encyclopedia. Wasting AfC volunteers time. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:00, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirct to List_of_South_Korean_musicians. That’s were any improvements should be made. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:41, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep because this is wrong on so many levels. I made clear on the deletion of the dead south korean musicians, that I would create a draft and try to perfect it as much as possible until it became valid. Besides, this is a DRAFT. NOT an article, a DRAFT. Meaning that no one else can see this except for users who go scrolling through thousands of submissions. And it isn't even SUBMITTED yet. Besides, on List of South Korean Musicians, finding out who's dead or alive is total guesswork at this point. Unless this draft is destroying the future of Wikipedia as we know, please just let me do my job. — Preceding unsigned comment added by K-popguardian (talk • contribs) 22:57, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Sounds like you want it to be a sortable table with a death date column. Take it up at Talk:List_of_South_Korean_musicians. Do not WP:REDUNDANTFORK to DraftSpace. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:18, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: The deleted articlespace page would've been eligible for WP:REFUND anyway. I don't believe this should've been nominated for MfD quite so quickly. While I don't know whether having separate list articles for living versus dead people is a common practice, or whether there's consensus against doing it, I don't think this is disruptive at this point. If there's a reason why this could never be a list article, then I say userify it for K-popguardian to use as a sandbox or something. But I do second SmokeyJoe's suggestion that K-popguardian speak up at Talk:List of South Korean musicians about making that list article more useable. Right now it's essentially a list article version of Category:South Korean musicians, except less useful. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 01:24, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I just made a start at converting List of South Korean musicians to a sortable table. It looks drafty but it contains no less material than yesterday's list.  Regarding Draft:List of Dead South Korean Musicians, I don't think cross-tabulating musicians by "Age (at death)", "Place of death" and "Cause of death" is a good idea.  It is WP:OR, like it is trying to show a correlation between cause of death and age and being a musician, or more typically, just a random OR tabulation of attributes.  Draft:List of Dead South Korean Musicians deals only with single musicians, and is therefore only the subgroup of single member groups of List of South Korean musicians.  Sorting by membership count will reveal the soloists.  It might be a good idea to split solo musician articles from group musician article.  It is not a good idea of split living from dead.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:26, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of South Korean musicians as per User:SmokeyJoe. The only logical solution is to make the list a sortable table that includes date of death. --  P 1 9 9  ✉ 16:12, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
