An article that tries to list and describe every Independent music scene in the world. So many issues, first I doubt a clear inclusion criteria will ever be established. Second, there are probably 5 different scenes for every city. Referencing most of this is insanely hard. It only seems to be concerned with current music scenes., but if it was expanded to include more historic info that would just magnify every other problem we have here. I could go on but I think that covers most of the big issues. Ridernyc (talk) 04:12, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Nothing wrong with having general articles. Discussing whether to split it is a question for the article talk page. DGG ( talk ) 04:26, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per DGG.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:46, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Consolidated article on music scenes worldwide. And since many of the bands mentioned are signed to syndicated/RIAA labels, citations shouldn't be difficult to retrieve, especially if bands mentioned historically define their metropolitan music scene .--Danteferno (talk) 15:44, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete 'Indie' as a genre is meaningless and, as Danteferno said, many of the bands are signed to syndicated/RIAA labels rendering the independent artist definition meaningless too. Better to focus on cleaning up pages like Indie rock in the Netherlands than trying to maintain a frankly unmaintainable list. K602 (talk) 19:35, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
