Fails WP:NLIST. Note that WP:NOTDATABASE applies. Few, if any, tracks pass WP:NMUSIC. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 23:05, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Albums and songs, Lists,  and India.  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 23:27, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:NLIST, WP:SIGCOV. No significant coverage.   scope_creep Talk  01:15, 24 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep - the listing is nowhere an "indiscriminate collection of information". Could only be relevant if WP decided that no list of recorded songs could have a place here. Similar articles do exist with even poorer sourcing. Otherwise it just needs expansion and proper sourcing, not deletion. Most of the films already have enough references and the songs may be traced upon searching on the web. Abbasulu (talk) 11:27, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I see you spent zero minutes improving the article and copy-pasted the same comment into 11+ AFD discussions. Looks like you haven't learned anything from your "User talk:Abbasulu". --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:49, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:49, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:V and is also a directory-style listing of non-notable songs that adds no value to the project Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 22:27, 26 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep - I'm strongly opposed to massive deletion of such lists without putting any effort into actually improving them per WP:BEFORE. 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, indeed, so much time and effort have been put into (and yes, to me it is a consideration). Other than that, the notability of the songs as suggested by the nominator and one of the voters, 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, many of the 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 one main list which would include sources entries only. Deletion is the easy route and I do not support it. Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  11:32, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Have you got any WP:RS showing significant coverage that you'd like to share to support your claim that this list is notable? Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:15, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:48, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - as said above, fails WP:NLIST and WP:SIGCOV. In addition, there is enough here which does not pass WP:VERIFY to be of concern. Onel 5969  TT me 11:39, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Vani Jairam. Fails WP:NLIST per nom. Part of the list can be covered there. SBKSPP (talk) 01:17, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete: Per Nom and Shshshsh. The subject is the list. Compiling a list from a conglomerate of sources, OR using a source that is considered unreliable does not offer proof of notability. -- Otr500 (talk) 17:46, 2 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep: as per Shahid reasoning. This article is well sourced. I've checked the references. That website lists all the songs recorded in Malayalam sung by various artists and legitimate. You can't delete any article only because you don’t think It's insufficient or non-notable. In this way, we should think considering even List of songs recorded by Taylor Swift for deletion, because wikipedia is not a directory or database of everything. More references must've been added in this article to add to further notability. At this point it's just a good article, but may evolve as an amazing article if it is improved by a lot of references more.
