Since my previous AfD failed, I'm giving it it a new try: This article is the textily incarnation of WP:GAMECRUFT, it does nothing but listing trivial information (song lists) from a game in a very unnavigable manor. Following a short introduction, a single section (which is, enhancedly, already present in another article) is followed by a three-page-long concatenation of tables of varying width, making hardly readable. The article relies heavily on a Metro news page (refd 33 times), and is essentially a carbon copy of it. The article also employs some original research, such as Mission names which are cited using the Metro source but not actually included in it, as well as some unsourced parts introduced by various editors. Overall, the article is trivial, uninformative and not of any encyclopedic value, and falls far out of the scope of our project, despite having a few sources. Because of this, it should be deleted or redirected to Music of Grand Theft Auto V, where all crucial information can be inserted. Everything else blongs to Wikia, not Wikipedia.

 * Redirect This just seems like a giant tracklist and is superfluous to the Music of Grand Theft Auto V article.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:56, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry I've no idea how to reply to this without editing this page but please don't delete this page. It's useful for quickly checking the full listings of each station which is especially handy for ensuring Spotify playlists aren't losing any songs. The other article you linked to the "Music of Grand Theft Auto V" seems to be about the separate CDs etc that were released in addition to the game and don't contain anywhere near the full track listings the game has. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.70.7.92 (talk) 13:00, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * If the information is not available anywhere else, can it not be transwikied to the GTA Wiki?ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:13, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It can be transferred as the syntax is almost the same on Wikia. Lordtobi  ( &#9993; ) 13:16, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is already there. Lordtobi  ( &#9993; ) 13:18, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * This isn't exactly a valid reason to be on Wikipedia.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:53, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect per the nominator. The discussion in the previous AFD does not seem to have provided reliable sources for this specific topic and thus made bald assertions of notability, and what presently sourced in the article would probably fit quite nicely in Music of Grand Theft Auto V. --Izno (talk) 13:52, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect per nom. As I said in the previous nomination, article is fancruft—it belongs on the GTA Wiki, not Wikipedia. The only useful sections ("Production" and "Merchandise") already exist on Music of Grand Theft Auto V, and are written better there. – Rhain  ☔ 00:23, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect per nom, agreeing with Izno and Rhain. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 06:37, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect per nom and others. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 01:18, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
