Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of garage rock bands
no valid reasons for deletion set forth.  Obviously Wikipedia has lots of lists on all subjects, including bands, and these are well-supported by consensus, so saying this is just "a list of bands" doesn't accomplish anything other than a banal description.  General practice with lists of this kind is to exclude non-notable entries, even though this is not typically stated in the article title (though see List of notable Puerto Ricans), and this is not considered difficult to maintain: "Does this entry merit an article: yes or no?"  So the complaint that "there are no requirements for those on the list to meet the GNG" is simply incorrect, and to the extent the list ''does'' contain non-notable entries, those can simply be removed.  As for the lack of references, as garage rock is a recognized genre, and there are presumably reliable sources calling this or that band an example of that genre, that's completely fixable, and even where sources may disagree on genre, the list can be annotated to note that.  The nom should read  before starting another AFD
