FYI: This is the first time I've ever submitted an article/list for deletion, so I don't know how everything goes here/ the "correct" way to do things. Sorry in advance.

Busking locations can be almost everywhere, and are in essentially every major city. This is a scope that is impossible to achieve in a list. Furthermore, the nature of busking locations means that almost everything in the article is original research. 3602kiva (talk) 23:56, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taking a look at all of the other nominations, it's evident that almost all posts use this Wikipedia nomenclature that I don't understand, like the WP: hyperlinks. Could someone direct me to a resource where I could learn more about this? I would really appreciate it!

You can start with Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not (abbreviated WP:NOT for convenience), which is relevant to most deletions. And you are quite correct in nominating this. —Tamfang (talk) 02:56, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- (strong) -- Seconding nominator's primary contention, that this is something is occurs in every major city. This smacks of WP:OR. The sources -- the ones that aren't dead, that is -- don't seem to indicate that 'busking' occurrs commonly at the spots they're referring to, simply that they are busking there, so... Regardless, I would additionally argue WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:NOTDATABASE.MWFwiki (talk) 03:54, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Mostly original research. Ajf773 (talk) 09:31, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Fails WP:NLIST because, as the nom has noted, busking isn't restricted to specific places. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:24, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Too broad in scope per WP:SALAT. At best, scope could be limited by creating lists limited to a geographical region. Additionally, it seems like there have been attempts to limit this list to places where it is notable where busking has occurred and to ensure Each entry needs to be cited using a verifiable, reliable reference (see discussion), which never seems to have really worked, indicating a larger underlying issue with the scope and sourcing.

Delete. Makes me wonder about the accuracy of this list. I was just in Waikīkī and didn't see a single busker. Viriditas (talk) 17:33, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agreed with above on OR and List Cruft concerns. Any references that could be worthy within this article can go within the articles about their respective places or the article on busking itself. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 19:48, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
