Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of keyboardists
because |categories and lists are complementary, not redundant. The list should probably be split, but it is not currently so long that it needs to be, and there is no evidence that even completing this list to include ''all '''notable''''' keyboardists would make this list unmaintainable. Even if this list were too broad, the |list guideline suggests to split, not delete. This is not why Wikipedia has categories; categories cannot include useful information like what bands the keyboardist played in. Due to MediaWiki's lack of decent category tools or category annotation mechanisms, the :Category:Keyboardists is wholly unweidly; to get the same information that is in this list, I'd have to go down three subcategories just to find :Category:American rock keyboardists, for example, and then to click on every single article to find the bands they played in. While some people may find categories adequate, the only real use I've found for them is to help ensure that corresponding lists are up-to-date
