List of Janet Jackson B-sides, bonus tracks and unreleased songs

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

Per precedent, lists of B-sides, unreleased songs, etc. are almost always trivial and therefore unnecessary. This has been tagged for refs since a year ago with no improvement. Ten Pound Hammer Farfel and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:59, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete concur with nom.'s rationale. There are many other appropriate places for this info. to be placed if it is needed. JJL (talk) 03:24, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom & JJL. Merge and thing useful into her disco page, and bowl the rest.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 03:45, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Both Madonna and Mariah Carey have unreleased song pages, and this page deserves equal treatment as theirs. Jjmcspooh (talk) 07:15, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a good enough reason, IMO, to keep an article. LonelyBeacon (talk) 09:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Add the information into the pages for the respective albums. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 13:02, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep If they're going to delete Janet's page then they should delete Mariah's & Madonna but instead of deleting all that, I say keep it like it is.--Nh3plusjanet (talk) 22:08, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

 * KEEP Janet deserves this page more than Mariah or Madonna do. Stopitplease92 (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 18:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Per arguments above. Non-notable, uncited, and largely trivial. I could hypothetically imagine a list of this scope being worthy of keeping, but as this list stands it fails nearly all of Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Drewcifer (talk) 21:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This page and the List of Unreleased Spice Girls Songs page both NEED to be kept. Ofelixdacat (talk) 14:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, let me add something else. I simply mentioned Mariah Carey's because this article is almost identical to hers in format, maybe just a little bit shorter. Anyway, never mind that; here's another reason. This page can be very informative which I believe is the main goal of what an encyclopedia should be. For example, if a person is just discovering her song "One More Chance," they would not know to look up janet. to see which era it was released. However with this page, the information is right in front of them, and they don't have to go on a wild goose chase looking up each of her albums so that's why I say it be kept. Jjmcspooh (talk) 22:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, allow me to play devil's advocate here. Fist, if someone did just discover "One more chance", how would they know to look here, especially with such a long title? Second how would they most likely "discover" the song?  Most likely through the single release of "If". In fact, I would assume someone would be more inclined to go to If rather than List of Janet Jackson B-sides, bonus tracks and unreleased songs. So it seems much more intuitive to relocate info about the B-side to the single's page, rather than here. Drewcifer (talk) 04:38, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong delete - Per nom. B-sides and bonus tracks are dealt with in respective albums and singles. Unreleased songs are highly non-notable. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 16:16, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
