List of Live Lounge covers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete - per extensive precedent, the coverage by one artist of another artist's song is not notable. If the particular cover version is notable then it should be covered in an article for the song and/or the discography for the performer. Otto4711 16:35, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

STRONG Oppose - with all of the others like List of covers of the smashing pumpkins songs and List of cover versions of muse songs I would agree, however the Live Lounge is completely different. The live lounge is popular amongst British music fans whom listen to Radio 1 and this list provides a extensive list of every artist whom has appeared on the show covering another artists' song. The show has also produced an album containing some of these songs after constant pressure from the public due to their popularity (Radio 1's Live Lounge). If the article must be deleted then this list should be moved to the main Live Lounge page. Chappy TC 18:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * If the album is notable then there should be an article for the album. The notability of the individual artists, the songs or the radio show do not mean that every song that's covered on the show inherits that notability. Notability is not popularity so the popularity of the show is irrelevant. Otto4711 19:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * There is an article for the album itself, click the Radio 1's Live Lounge link. I was trying to point out that as the show is MORE than notable and the covers recorded on it are MORE than notable enough to warrant a double album, containing just some of the covers (others have been put up on iTunes aswell) that this list is an important reference for people wishing to find a list of all the covers recorded for the show. Besides it is the covers notability that prompted the creation of the album.  It is not just the usual cover list.  If all of these were just put on the individual bands pages it would take a user days to find all of them. Chappy [[Image:Yorkshire rose.png|God's Own Country|20px]] TC 19:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I would say this was as notable as List of songs in The O.C. and this article was kept after an AfD - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs in The O.C.. Chappy [[Image:Yorkshire rose.png|God's Own Country|20px]] TC 18:56, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The notability of the show segment is not inherited by every single cover song that's played on it. The album of covers may be notable but that again does not automatically impart notability to every other cover. It was not the notability of the covers that prompted the album, it was the popularity. Popularity is not notability. And I would say that this is as notable as the lists of songs from The Office (UK), The Office (US), Scrubs, Skins, Freaks and Geeks and the other dozen or so that were deleted at AFD.

 * Keep The Live Lounge is well regarded as a show where artists take on songs from different genres and in different styles from their normal work. This is a useful reference to those unique performances (usually never heard anywhere else except the radio show) and should not be disregarded in the same way as the nominations above.

 * Delete or merge to Live Lounge. Live Lounge isn't even a radio show, it's a segment of a radio show. Live Lounge is a small article, so there's no reason to have a separate list anyway. Crazysuit 21:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a useful article - its easy to read and informative. I wouldn't like to see it jammed up on the same page as Live Lounge, just well linked.  Goldbringer 23:55, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:USEFUL is not a compelling argument. Otto4711 02:52, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep I was looking for this exact list and was very glad to find it, to delete it would be petty to say the least. I don't really understand the motivation to do so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.6.149.17 (talk) 13:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
