This is a directory of musicians and bands currently signed to a specific record label. It's entirely sourced to Island's websites, and includes many non-notable musicians. Lists of "current" things are rarely encyclopedic to begin with, and this one is infrequently edited, so it's doubtful that it's actually current. Fails WP:NOTMIRROR, WP:NOTDIRECTORY, WP:GNG. There are a number of similar lists of other labels. If this is deleted, I intend to nominate the others as a group. pburka (talk) 15:36, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per NOTDIRECTORY, plus the annoyance of trying to keep it up to date. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:46, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with List of former Island Records artists. Label rosters are encyclopedic, but there's no need for separate articles to cover both current and former artists. Chubbles (talk) 16:54, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with List of former Island Records artists and rename to List of Island Records artists per suggestion by Chubbles. There is no particular good reason why we need a roster of current artists that is subject to regular change. Ajf773 (talk) 22:29, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
