Talk:List of hard rock musicians (A–M)

Considering bringing this to AfD

Per concerns raised at Talk:List of soft rock musicians and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rock music#Two questionable artist lists. Thoughts? Tarc (talk) 16:55, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

I certainly believe this one is the more questionable of the two (I have not looked at the soft rock one as much, and I am unfamiliar with many of the bands on it), but I am unsure whether the problems with this article need to be dealt with at AFD. The main problem I see at present is that it takes an outdated and overly broad definition of "hard rock" and includes many extreme heavy metal bands which are not sourced as "hard rock" and could not possibly be sourced as that. If it was trimmed down it would possibly be an article more in-line with the others in Category:Lists of rock musicians by subgenre, and while other crap exists might not be a great rationale for keeping this article it would appear to bit perverse not to have a list about "hard rock" when we have a list about "mathcore" and "baroque pop" and so on.

My main concern has been the broadness, though. I'm fine with the sub-genre listings as those are specific and well-defined, but "hard rock" is just too all-encompassing IMO to be a feasible list. Tarc (talk) 19:04, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Does anyone know a way of getting the references to show? I cannot see them on my display.--SabreBD (talk) 08:11, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
