List of English-language pop songs based on Italian-language songs

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete A list that has not expanded even once since creation nearly a year ago. Either there are not that many songs that qualify, thus making the need for a list unnecessary, or there is little interest in the topic. Meanwhile, List of English-language pop songs based on French-language songs has grown from one to about thirty songs in the same time frame. Wolfer68 (talk) 23:06, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete; Completely un-notable and useless list. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:45, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete based on no improvement. I'm sure someone who has no interest in improving the article will give us the old "there's no deadline" routine, but this one was pretty well dead on arrival.  Still time to fix it, but, O Sole Mio, "It's now or never" before this one goes Al Di La, Volare or even Tutti Frutti.  Arrivederci. Mandsford (talk) 17:06, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, to find English songs based on Italian songs one merely need google the phrase "based on the Italian song" and examples will be forthcoming. Why should Wikipedia help people who are too lazy or stupid to do this for themselves? Meconion (talk) 02:26, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, why bother using Wikipedia at all. Just google what you want to know.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs
 * Precisely. It's all available somewhere else, by definition. Meconion (talk) 21:15, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, per Mandsford. There is, in fact, no deadline.  Inclusion, to my understanding, is based on notability, and there is precedence for the inclusion of such of lists on Wikipedia, so that's not the question.  Stubs are...stubs.  Not deletion candidates.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 11:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't see your actual reason to keep this particular list. There may be precedence, but precedence alone does not make a list of two notable. I'm not too sure about the other list being notable either, but at least it has expanded within the past year. --Wolfer68 (talk) 16:56, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - In my mind, this is about as marginal a list one could create and still possibly include in WP. Bearian (talk) 18:35, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, good example of creating a list based on a trivial intersection of ideas. Nyttend (talk) 12:55, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
