 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was irrelevant. The page that was voted on is not there any more; it's now a page about a particular song. dbenbenn | talk 02:16, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Crazy (song)
This article is just a list of some artists who have had songs called "Crazy". There's no information about any of the songs. Unless someone wants to write an article on one of the songs, this page should really be deleted. --Moochocoogle 04:04, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Delete. --Conti|&#9993; 04:19, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * There are many many songs with the title "Crazy". Allmusic.com shows that songs with the title "Crazy" appear on over 900 albums meaning that this is far from a complete list. My point being that anyone looking for any of these songs called "Crazy" would have to go to a disambig page to differentiate between which "Crazy" they were looking for. Possibley a rewrite may be necessary, but I beleive we should keep this page --The_stuart 05:33, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep now. Thank you Jgm Kappa 22:30, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)  Keep -> merge as per Sixpence below. Useful information. Also the Willie Nelson song is notable IMO, and a lot of them are by bands which have articles which might be a place to describe the song without having a full article about it.

 * I'd have no problem with this article as a disambiguation page if it actually linked to any particles. As it doesn't it seems rather pointless.--Moochocoogle 06:28, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * weak keep 'cause it's mildly interesting to contemplate duplicated song titles. Wyss 07:14, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Do you think "(You Drive Me) Crazy" by Britney Spears counts? Everyking 07:17, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of sets of unrelated songs with identical titles and List of notable cover versions, whichever each song falls into and redirect to List of sets of unrelated songs with identical titles until at least 1 article exists for one of the songs. Sixpence 07:48, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as directed by Sixpence. --Idont Havaname 08:07, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as not necessary. This (and similar articles) would just create zillions of redlinks for non-notable songs that nobody will ever create articles for, or worse still they WILL create articles for and they'll end up VfDed. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  14:04, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Surprisingly, the best-known song of this title by Patsy Cline isn't listed. I'd be game to leave this if the article was expanded into a piece about the Cline song, with this list included as a "see also" but as it stands, it doesn't have much value. Delete as is. 23skidoo 16:27, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Good point. Seal's big hit "Crazy" isn't in there either. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  17:19, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Willie Nelson (listed) wrote the Patsy Cline one. List of sets of unrelated songs with identical titles mentions this. Kappa 18:18, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Are we going to have lists of songs with title X, now?   What is interesting or special about the fact that there is more than one song with the title "Crazy".   There are tens of thousands of songs with English lyrics.  For any reasonably common English word, especially if it has some connection to typical song subjects, there are going to be multiple songs with that title.  So what?  --BM 23:53, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, un-necessary list, un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 01:52, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect per Sixpence's suggestion. -Sean Curtin 02:01, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Isn't this just a disambiguation by another name? Are you telling me that of the 900 songs, none of them are worthy of an article?  Are you crazy? My only suggestion is to de-link the song name and link the band or album unless the song is particularly well known.  T h e St ev e  04:01, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Agree with Starblind above. JoaoRicardo 04:56, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. Grue 19:59, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * The list as presented was redundant to the list Starblind mentioned, but the Willie Nelson song does merit an article. In fact, I've started one at this name and taken a shot at redirecting other interests to the proper spot on the other list. Whaddaya think? Jgm 03:01, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * good compromise --The_stuart 16:37, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
