I recently created this list. After some edits got the help from another user, Cannibaloki. I think it looks pretty good, if there's anything that can be imrpoved on the page, please don't hesitate to comment it. In my opinion this list is ready to be a FL.

Comment Is this list even needed? I mean, Iron Maiden is a major act, but more than half of the awards are magazine awards. This page really says nothing that couldn't easily be stated at Iron Maiden. -- Scorpion0422 00:05, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Then I'd say the same about Metallica's article, Slipknot's, NIN's, Soundgarden's, and so on. One of the most unneeded articles are the concerts by NIN, which could be splitted into different articles, bout instead is a FA. Rockk3r Spit it Out! 01:02, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with you, most of those lists should not be FLs. Your excuse is that other crap exists. Basically, people create these lists because they see how easy it is to reach FL status. I've failed in my duty as director by letting this happen and I want to try to clean the process up. The first thing to do is to try to improve these small small-scope lists. -- Scorpion0422 02:23, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I see what you mean and I totally agree with your opinion. I'll withdraw the article from the FL candidates, and try to imrpove it as much as possible. Then, I'll show it to you and have your opinion on wether it should stay as FL or not. Rockk3r Spit it Out! 20:35, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
