Autobiographical songs
Any song can be autobiographical to a certain degree.
 * Delete. This could be every song ever made (excluding instrumentals). --SuperDude 06:12, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Verification of this list would be nearly impossible. Quale 07:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Surprise here... weak keep iff the list is revised to include only songs with sources that substantiate claims to their autobiographical nature. This is a list I support as valuable, when it appropriately scholarly. Xoloz 08:32, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, per Xoloz, but the sources better be pretty darn strong (e.g. the artist himself says that it's an autobio song, like Loretta Lynn's Coal Miner's Daughter.) -- BD2412 talk 14:34, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Xoloz. Kappa 14:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Xoloz. --Jacquelyn Marie 15:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Xoloz though sometimes the songs themselves will qualify as sources. 23skidoo 16:12, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Xoloz OmegaWikipedia 20:05, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as the criterion specified by Xoloz is not in the article and will be routinely violated. But at least this has potential to be verifiable, unlike some other lists.&mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 22:46, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This might relate to the proposed policy mentioned at Centralized discussion/Lists of songs &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 22:46, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as preposterous listcruft. MCB 07:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This is an encyclop&aelig;dia, not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:19, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Mel Etitis --JAranda &#124; yeah 04:11, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
