Weak deleteWeak keep. It may be
WP:TRIVIA, but at least this one would be a lot easier to
verify than most of the other song lists. By the way, you might want to specify which portion of
WP:NOT it violates -- just citing
WP:NOT as a whole doesn't usually cut it.

Weak Keep I don't think either
WP:TRIVIA (even though the subject is certainly trivial) and
WP:NOT#DIR really apply here. Neither does
WP:NOT#IINFO, as the information is clearly not indiscriminate, and
WP:LIST does allow for information grouped by theme. Furthermore, this information is easily verifiable (unlike "List of songs about X"). How encyclopedic is it? Not much, but I think this is one the very few song list articles that actually has some claim to exist. That said, it'd hardly be a tragedy if it was deleted.EliminatorJRTalk 18:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)reply
Keep verifiable list and not really trivia.

Delete clearly trivial and obviously a list of loosely-associated topics.

Delete, very much
trivial, and verifiable doesn't mean
notable. Why not a list of songs with less than 42 words in their lyrics? —

Delete For the most part, while it is verifiable using primary sources, it fails notability if no other sources have covered it, and based on how trivial this is, I'd be willing to be it has not been documented in a reliable source.

Delete Not attributed and (from what I can see) not attributable. Fails
WP:ATT. --

trivia. trivial. delete These pop culture lists are finite, right? Please, say they are. Lie if you have to. There's an end to all this. There just has to be.

They are, by my count.

Actually, the lists can be constructed recursively, so there is an infinite number of them. At least, they are countably infinite (). —

Delete at least the inclusion criteria is clear, but ultimately not encyclopedic.

Keep, interesting list.

Was that a joke !vote?

No, it was serious.

Strong keep encyclopaedic enough, would be sad to see this go. Don't be so deletionist. SalaSkan 17:10, 9 July 2007 (UTC)reply
