The lack of sourcing violates WP:BLP. The shortness and lack of context makes the list seem unnecessary. Moreover the inclusion process may be faulty as it is not establishes what constitutes a "Christian ska" band compared with "a ska band where one of more members hold Christian worldviews". The list, a longer version of it, has also been deleted in an old AfD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christian ska. Geschichte (talk) 20:31, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The bands are all notable and the list is valid. There's no reason that one band can't be a Ska band in the Christian music industry and another is a ska band where one or more of the members are self-proclaimed Christians. There are many other, similar lists with the same definitions. Worst case, merge the list with the Christian ska article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:39, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If its a valid category then its a valid list article. List articles are always more useful than categories as they can show far more information. Category:Christian ska groups If you doubt anything on the list just search for it at Amazon, check the package their music comes in, or official media they produce about themselves such as [1]. Valid navigational list. Dream Focus 22:40, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I agree with both Walter and Dream Focus. The bands and list are notable. Morriswa (Charlotte Allison) (talk) 02:03, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Dream Focus. There's no problem with listing all half-dozen or more notable members of a category in a list. Bearian (talk) 19:23, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a notable list of blue linked entries which aids navigation, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 20:42, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
