Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of synthpop artists
notable musicians by a notable genre is really one of the most basic and obvious kinds of lists for this subject.  Unless it is contended that there are no reliable sources classifying anyone notable as a synthpop artist, there is no reason to delete this list.  The deletion !votes offered above are by and large classic arguments not to use in a deletion discussion, such as it's , it's , or it's  to vandalism.  The claim that the category is "sufficient" is contrary to , the most basic point of which is we don't delete one method of article navigation/article indexing/organizing information just because there's another.  Some people like to work more with categories, others more with lists.  The list, further, includes all entries on one page unlike the category, and could otherwise be annotated or organized even though it isn't at present.  Whether the list itself should contain references, or whether it's sufficient for the source for the genre classification to only be in the article listed, is sometimes a matter of contention generally with lists, and I don't particularly care about that point.  Regardless, that's a matter for normal editing and discussion to resolve.  I http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_synthpop_artists&diff=prev&oldid=447148175 undid {{user|Curb Chain}}'s blanking of all entries that are unsourced within the list, as this is contrary to |editing policy.  By all means remove any entry that you believe in good faith does not belong, and probably any article listed that itself does not even mention synth pop as the subject's genre, but we do not indiscriminately blank content that can be sourced just because it isn't at present, particularly not if it's actually sourced within another article, as it may be in many of the entries
