List of music artists by recording studio[edit]

Obvious example of an endless, indiscriminate list, the list could be useful as a disambig page, but this isn't. Delete Secret ^account 05:29, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First off, notwithstanding its title, it's listing musicians by record label, not by recording studio, so it got confused right out of the gate. I'm particularly amazed that this has survived largely unchanged and apparently unnoticed for several years, with just whatever random handful of rappers were on someone's mind when they spent five minutes starting this. Obviously if complete this would be too big to function as a single list: to merely list record labels requires splits and subdivisions (see Category:Lists of record labels), so cross-listing them with every musician they ever represented would get really ridiculous if kept in one place. Turns out we already have a ton of separate lists for various record labels, at Category:Lists of artists by record label, so that task is already well under way. We could have a list of lists to organize those lists in various ways in a manner complementary to that category, but as none of the current content would be helpful in that endeavor, delete per nom. postdlf (talk) 06:23, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Postdlf. After the deletion, consider redirecting to Category:Lists of artists by record label. (Although, upon further consideration, that may not be an appropriate redirect, because it has nothing to do with "recording studios".) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:36, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Postdlf. Recording studios are too fluid as a way to organize artists. Perhaps record label is what they meant. There's probably a way to better organize the lists of artists by record label as well. Dzlife (talk) 19:15, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
