All the artists listed fit on the main article's Legacy section. Most are already there. 90% of the article is just fillers...and no references. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 05:38, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Examples without references (we need to avoid primary sources later) and yes, all of these examples can be added in the Legacy section of her main article. --Chrishonduras (talk) 08:07, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. "influenced" is too hazy a criterion. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:21, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Britney Spears#Legacy, where this topic is already well covered, and content can be WP:SMERGEd there if appropriate. Deleting outright is not a valid option as this is a viable search term and likely to be recreated under this title. postdlf (talk) 15:06, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I disagree with the voter above on the likelihood of this title being used as a search term, as I don't really imagine a lot of people doing it. We can leave that to the admins. Otherwise I agree with everyone above that this list article uses poorly-defined parameters and is dependent on hearsay. Confirmed cases of musicians claiming to have been influenced by Spears can be (and already are) covered at Britney Spears#Legacy. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Someone created it under that title and others have edited it, and it's not unique (do a search for the first five words or check out Special:Prefixindex/List of artists influenced by). So long as some people would look for it, it has value as a redirect. postdlf (talk) 18:17, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
