Talk:List of music artists and bands from England

Pointless page?[edit]

This there any point in keeping this page, when there is the more useful Category:English_musical_groups? It just seems like a waste of time, they're both pretty much the same page.

Surely this list will never be comprehensive? I don't think it should be deleted, but are far too many English bands to make it encyclopaedic. Zarcadia (talk) 16:29, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Newport[edit]

Last time I checked, Newport was pretty firmly in Wales. Any reason it's on a page about English bands? LacsiraxAriscal (talk) 20:45, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bands or individual musicians?[edit]

Why include individual singers in a list of /musical groups/bands? It seems a bit beyond the expected scope to me! Sionk (talk) 00:49, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly is and would end up with band listed along with many of their members in some cases. It would make more sense for someone to start a similar list of musicians from England which is solely for individuals, and link the two via 'See also' sections. --Michig (talk) 21:34, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If we include individual musicians then why not also classical musicians? Why don't we also add orchestras? Conductors? Brass bands? Choirs? Or should we have a well-defined scope and stick to it? --Michig (talk) 20:59, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
