 * Delete, good example of a bad list. Geschichte (talk) 17:28, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. There is a similar list at List of Elvis Presley songs. Elvis Presley discography, Elvis Presley hit singles and Elvis Presley hit albums articles also exist. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:36, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment You link to WP:NOT which does not say that "WP is not a collection of lists", but that it's not for lists or repositories of "loosely associated topics". As there is a fairly tight association between the items (songs recorded or performed by Johnny Cash), it's a bit of a stretch to justify deletion of this list. (Although it should be renamed to something similar to the Elvis articles above.) --Canley (talk) 02:59, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Well constructed list relating to one of the giants of modern American music. There is no "Wikipedia is Not a Collection of Lists" mandate, by the way... There is the suggestion that Wikipedia is not the place for lists of loosely associated things, which this example is not. Carrite (talk) 06:39, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep This is not an indiscriminate list, so this is perfectly acceptable under the content guidelines. rename the article (guideline - Lists_(stand-alone_lists)) to fit in with other stand alone list of musician songs, btw. riffic (talk) 12:21, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep but move to List of Johnny Cash songs per naming conventions and wikify.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 13:17, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep (and move as suggested). The only surprise to me is that there wasn't a list of these already.  In the case of major artists, it's not unusual to have an article about the business side (e.g., Elvis Presley discography)and the art side (e.g. List of Elvis Presley songs).  We have (Johnny Cash discography) and this is a logical supplement.  I suppose it could be merged temporarily to the discography, or userfied, but the article's creator is obviously working on this one.  I think we can walk the line for awhile as he continues it.
