Weak Keep. Or, failing that, a selective merge/redirect to
List of Irish ballads#Places, emigration and travel. As an
WP:ATD. I understand the nomination in principle. And certainly, before my own
WP:BEFORE and
WP:VER checks and
cleanup, there were more than a few entries which weren't discussed AT ALL/ANYWHERE. Not to mind being discussed as a group somewhere. As
WP:NLIST would typically expect. However, with those random and unexplained (and seemingly quasi-promotional additions) removed, many/most of the list entries do appear to be covered - as a group - in reliable/verifiable sources. Including in Crowley's 2014 work Songs from the Beautiful City : the Cork Urban Ballads (
ISBN9781910179406) and in Healy's 1978 work Comic Songs of Cork and Kerry (
ISBN9780853424987). While additional clean-up is likely needed (including to better reflect the sources that do discuss the list members as a group), I'm inclined to lean towards a "keep". (Note: While I can't see the (
now deleted) "List of songs about Oslo" title that is referred to in the nom, if it's equivalent to what's now at
no:Liste_over_Oslosanger, then I'm not sure it's an entirely fair comparison. An (entirely?) unsupported 1400-point list, and a (semi) supported 30-point list, wouldn't seem directly comparable... )

Delete - is there a list of songs for every other county in Ireland? Why is Cork special? Actually, don't answer that! It's an indiscriminate list, no reason to keep.

Delete I would just say there is nothing so special about this topic that it needs to be kept despite deletions of similar articles.
