Deletion of List of rhythm guitarists

Comment: I guess I should've expanded more on why I think a category would suit better.    says WP is not a list of loosely associated topics.  Being a "rhythm guitarist" is loose, in my opinion, when I consider the sheer number of candidates out there (notable or non-notable).   It should be replaced with a category, just like :Category:Point guards exists instead of List of Point Guards

Comment: Wikipedia:Listcruft is an essay, not a guideline. The word is used so often as a rationale for deleting lists that this needs to be pointed out every time such rationale is provided by those pretending it is a guideline. If the nominator continues to nominate deletions of lists on the basis of listcruft, they are then guilty of oint#Refusal_to_.27get_the_point.27. This is a disruptive practice where in which the one implicated refuses to recognize governing policy by ignoring it, instead trying to thwart the system by inserting personal bias that has no binding consensus and therefore no legal binding. This nomination was made on non-binding grounds. Also, argument on lists being deleted in favor of categories instead are not supported by guidelines on the matter. Please see Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes which

Comment: First, because a category wouldn't include the bands in which these rhythm guitarists played, which makes this list already more informative than a category. Second, because it has the potential to be expanded and annotated, see, e.g. List of Electric blues musicians. Third, because I don't believe that there are so many notable rhythm guitarists that this list will be unmaintainable; if it does get to large, it can be split by either country of origin or genre (blues, rock, heavy metal, etc.). Fourthly, this is not |listcruft as Rhythm guitar is an encyclopedic topic. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of guitarists and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of women bass guitarists for more arguments for keeping lists similar to this one. See also Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes which specifically says "''Wikipedia offers three ways to create groupings of articles: Wikipedia:Categorization|categories, Wikipedia:list|lists, and Wikipedia:Article series|article series boxes. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and each is appropriate in different circumstances. These methods should not be considered to be in competition with each other. Rather, they are most effective when used in synergy, each one complementing the other
