List of queercore bands[edit]

List of queercore bands (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

These lists of bands are hard to maintain and verify, and categories can do the job. Lots of precedent is found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of nu metal musical groups, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of melodic death metal bands and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of grindcore bands.

• Delete, as per nom. List will almost certainly remain incomplete, and a genre like "queercore" is really too amorphous and vague for a list. A category would be better. Lankiveil 12:37, 27 July 2007 (UTC).[reply]
• Delete Loose criteria for inclusion, genre inclusion is not established, so its OR to classify them. Replace with a category Corpx 19:36, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Another "List of" that should be a category as "article" adds no context to what is simply...a list. Pharmboy 23:47, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Agreed that is served better as category than list... and guess what, there's already a category entitled "Queercore groups". Just make sure all non red linked articles in list are included. Eliz81^{(talk)(contribs)} 07:33, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Categories provide no central place to collect references for inclusion in the list. Clearly the article as it stands needs work. But you got a lot of List of bands to delete after killing this one!--Larrybob 20:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keeparticle presents information that is unique and doesn't seem to be readily available elsewhere. Categorization alternative would delete a large portion of the work as categories can only include bands that have their own articles. Article should have been tagged and prodded for improvement before AfD'ing process was instigated. Article certainly could use improvement but AfDing is not the best route as there are multiple ways to organize and present it and editors should be encouraged to arrive at consensus as to what will best serve WP purposes to organize and share information.
