None of song in this list have their own article. does not satisfy
WP:SAL (Every entry meets the notability criteria for its own non-redirect article in the English Wikipedia...). Main article
Shammi Akhtar isn't big enough, almost stub without "songs" section, i don't see a good reason to split "songs" section and create another stub article.

Keep - I didn't split up any articles. Rather you split up my article and redirected them to
Shammi Akhtar. Please check, Category:Lists of songs recorded by Indian artist, some of them being very short. Shammi Akhtar is a legendary singer, so list of her songs may exist, not so big deal. Nothing to do with the article, I suggest let the article with that songs' list and the article songs' list separate. How does that sound?

It sounds bad. A separate song list serves no real purpose when its not linking to any song articles. And the singer's article is so short, there's no reason why the list can't just be there.

Delete - While there's no hard rule on when its okay for an artist to have a "List of songs" article, the general belief is that "if they've got a lot of song articles, its acceptable, and if they don't have very many song articles (or songs at all) its not acceptable. While there's no exactly line of acceptable/unacceptable, the general consensus is definitely that "zero song articles" is nowhere near enough.

Delete - At the
Shammi Akhtar article, I recommend that people familiar with the singer find a selection of most important songs that have been discussed in the media in their own right, and create a short list there with sources indicating why those individual songs are
independently notable. The author of this here list article might also take a look at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Discographies for guidelines on when to create a list of songs/albums. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (
