Talk:List of slide guitarists

2007 deletion-request review

I fail to see how this meets the criteria for speedy deletion under any guideline, let alone WP:CSD#A3. Could the nominator provide further rationale as to why these lists I created are their target, while thousands of similar lists exist on Wikipedia without such headaches involved?

Expand list using table

The current list is an alphabetical collection of names without any other information or references. A table format similar to the List of blues musicians would be able to accommodate additional information, which may be sorted so it groups by date, genre, etc. Propose to divide into sections:

• Pre-1940 – earliest, mostly acoustic blues
• 1940–1969 – the beginnings of electric blues through early rock
• 1970–1999 – further diversification
• 2000–present – contemporary players

The first two sections would begin as shown below. Comments/suggestions? —Ojorojo (talk) 16:09, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
