List of Euro disco artists

 * – (View AfD (View log  •  AfD statistics)

This article is a list of random songs with no sources. What if these songs are not "euro-disco"? Falls WP:SYNTH/WP:OR and WP:Notability RockandDiscoFanCZ (talk) 16:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep but limit to information that can be sourced. Euro disco is a real genre (,, , , , , , , etc., etc.) although that article needs work. A list of artists in the genre is perfectly reasonable for inclusion.--Michig (talk) 20:34, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: "although that article needs work" - this list of songs is in the Wikipedia since 2007. Nobody does anything. A typical AfD. RockandDiscoFanCZ (talk) 17:57, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly - there are are always people prepared to put effort into deleting articles but they often don't seem to be prepared to put any effort into improving them.--Michig (talk) 18:31, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * What a careless people! RockandDiscoFanCZ (talk) 18:46, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The subject DOES have it's own article. A quick look suggests that sourcing the article is possible. The subject is clear and notable and it is possible to link the groups to it with sources. Weakopedia (talk) 22:21, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: If this article is kept, then song titles need quotes and not in italics as per WP:MOS/WP:MUSTARD. Also tables need consistent columns sizes/positions imo. Mattg82 (talk) 00:58, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep but reorganise: Like its Italian counterpart, Euro disco was highly notable in the 1980s, as what Michig stated. The central critism if this list as with that one I brought up, although no better, is that it needs some serious cleanup and also backed up by a reliable third party sources, which was why I originally proposed to merge the two together as it is difficult tell the two apart unless you are an expert in the genre. Other advise is to drop the song column as far too many of these have more than three or five songs they are most associated with. Donnie Park (talk) 02:23, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Its a real genre, and listing notable artists in it is a perfectly acceptable Wikipedia list.  D r e a m Focus  17:40, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
