It's unclear why someone who is minor belongs on WP. There are many external links in the list. It is not maintained. It is not clear what constitutes a 'minor' figure. I'm not aware of similar lists. Clubmarx (talk) 05:10, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. There are no (and perhaps will never be) any meaningful criteria to separate minors and majors. It will never rise above an arbitrary collection of names, as compiling a complete list of minor artists is practically impossible. NVO (talk) 05:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Hey, where's my name? I'm pretty minor as far as these things go. But, yes, this should be deleted per all arguments above. freshacconci talktalk 00:41, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as above. The category contradicts the very criteria for notability. JNW (talk) 01:38, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete for all the reasons given above. Even with a lot of work, this page by definition could never be objective or complete. --Lockley (talk) 19:44, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
