List of Kannada songs recorded by K. S. Chithra

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:NLIST. Note that WP:NOTDATABASE applies. Few, if any, tracks pass WP:NMUSIC. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 10:01, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - since this is an extension of List of songs recorded by K. S. Chithra, they should have been grouped into one single AfD. The rationale for keeping them though remains the same. WP:NOTDATABASE does not apply here, since this isn't "an indiscriminate collection of information". It is not a database, it is a list, a legitimate one, which needs sourcing, just like every list of recorded songs by other singers. I suggest that we start a project of sourcing them all instead of deleting a page which so much time and effort have been put into. Other than that, the notability of the songs as suggested by the nominator isn't as important (in lists of works, no requirement exists for all the works to be notable - the subject is more notable, as per WP:NLIST: "the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable") - fact is, by the way the majority of films are notable, so actually NFILM might be more suitable than NMUSIC. If by then no sources are found then I believe the right course of action would be redirecting it to the main list. Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  11:22, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete and/or Draftify This list also contains a WP:BLP, which could saved be saved if referenced, which it isn't. It is the usually sloppy practice. Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:V for the WP:BLP and WP:NLIST, WP:SIGCOV, WP:V, WP:DEL14 and WP:DEL8 for the list. The list covers a 30 year period, a lifes work and effectively no sources. Really sloppy. Potentially notable as well for the singer as there is a decent BLP. Draftify the BLP and delete the list. More copy/pasted junk.   scope_creep Talk  12:52, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I closed this discussion as "no consensus", with the following closure statement. I believe this statement still applies, but rather than waste community time there just to reopen these, I'm relisting it. I'm copying my closure statement as I feel the commentary is relevant. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:47, 2 February 2023 (UTC) "This is one of several AfDs I have now read where virtually identical !votes have been posted by multiple parties that leave the discussion evenly divided. Those advocating deletion correctly argue that NLIST needs to be met; those arguing to keep correctly argue that discographies of notable artists have generally been treated as notable, and that individual items don't have to be notable for a list to have a Wikipedia article, so NMUSIC is generally not relevant. I don't see how repeating this discussion any number of times is a productive exercise; we clearly need to have a wider discussion about what criteria we use to evaluate the notability of such discographies, and probably use a few bundled nominations to make the discussion more efficient. As such I'm closing those nominations in today's log that are clearly divided on this basis with this identical statement, which seems fitting given the identical discussions.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete all per nom and per User:scope_creep. I see no reason for draftification, when any sourced content can be speedily merged into the master list until there is enough sourced content to justify breaking out a child list. BD2412  T 02:50, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - the topic of Kannada songs sung by this singer fails WP:CROSSCAT, the article fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage and, most importantly, completely violates WP:V. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:14, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
