Women Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

This is a content fork and no references or indication of the notability of this topic is given. I'm not really a fan of these gender/race/nationality split lists, especially in cases like this. Why not Canadians or Germans or posthumous inductees. Hell, why not "Metal acts inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame", since it has received far more coverage. We have a List of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees (and it's a pretty good list, if I do say so myself), so why are splits needed?

Also, I believe the lead misrepresents the article. It declares that it is notable because "only a relative handful of women have been inducted", thus insinuating that women have been snubbed. This is untrue since almost every year has seen at least one inductee and is 50 really a handful? In fact, I've read articles that say that too many undeserving women acts are inducted. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Appropriate list article, and more complete than the main article. Cf. 1990, the Platters. Good evidence why we need it. DGG (talk) 02:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, Taylor isn't listed in the RRHOF profile as being inducted (you know, following what's verifiable), which is why she wasn't previously included. I think lists like these set terrible precedents, especially since absoloutely no proof of notability is given. Why not create articles for every gender/nationality/ethnicity/religion/etc. for every Hall of Fame or award? Let's leave lists like that to fansites and official websites and keep wikipedia to articles about notable topics rather than a list of what is basically trivia.
- At the very least, it should be merged into the main article (I could set up a system which identifies the female inductees, but I really think it's pointless). -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:16, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I can't tell whether Zola Taylor was or wasn't inducted as a member of the Platters. For some groups, the Hall of Fame web site specifically identifies who the inductees were, but apparently not for the Platters. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:32, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete You can't have list for every single different type of band inducted into the hall of fame. This would set a precedent for a variety of ridiculous lists being compiled. Tej68 (talk) 04:20, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Or if we keep it, I think the next step is List of Caucasian-American men that have or once had a goatee and long hair inducted after the year 1997. ~ Wakanda's Black Panther!♠/♦ 07:18, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
