From new page patrol. Seems to be too vague a title as there are painters, performance artists etc Legacypac (talk) 07:27, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as I entirely agree. SwisterTwister talk 05:05, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a huge mess. This isn't a list of artists in general, but rather just in music, and not of "all-time", but of one specific period (as explicitly noted in the Rolling Stone list - "the most influential artists of the rock & roll era" - and the Billboard date restrictions). Otherwise Frank Sinatra and lots of others would be kicking some ass. It also has somewhat conflicting and/or vague criteria ("most successfull, best-selling & best") (sic); there's already List of best-selling music artists for the second.

Delete for the reasons others have already given above. Markpackuk (talk) 12:53, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
