List of Pearl Jam songs covered by others
Probably the least notable song list i've seen so far. Short, not much worth expanding, and should be merged into Pearl Jam or mercilessly deleted. Hedley 15:56, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge or else every band article will want a covers subarticle. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 19:13, May 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge for all the above reasons. --Silversmith 21:02, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, extremely useful list showing the influence of the band. Kappa 22:21, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge preferably, if not Keep. Useful list, but should be merged with main Pearl Jam article to prevent a million of these from popping up. -CunningLinguist 23:38, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Pearl Jam.  RickK 23:59, May 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge; keep the information. I concur with Kappa that it shows the influence of the band, and traces connections to other notable acts covered in Wikipedia (it doesn't, and obviously shouldn't, include covers by obscure bar bands, Pearl Jam tribute acts, etc.) Short enough at present that it could be merged into Pearl Jam if that were necessary.

 * Delete, bands are always covering other bands songs - none of these covers are inherently notable. Megan1967 04:24, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as above. Radiant_* 12:23, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Pearl Jam without redirecting this long and unlikely search term, or simply delete. Agree with Megan1967 and others: there's nothing inherently notable about this subtopic.  Virtually all high-selling bands have some of their songs, especially hits, covered by other bands, usually wannabees, regardless of whether the material is high-quality or notable.  It's also not very maintainable as new covers continue to be released.  List of Pearl Jam songs covered by Johnny Cash would at least evince some notability, if there were enough examples for a list, but this topic hardly involves any significance at all.

 * Keep Listy list. Klonimus 17:57, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, or Merge if delete fails. Jayjg (talk) 21:30, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Too short to keep; Easy MERGE. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson 01:32, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. Whig 07:27, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Listcruft. --Carnildo 18:06, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
