List of Rihanna songs

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

This list is redundant with the discography article and offers no sources. Any information not covered in the discography already, can probably be merged there easily. Nergaal (talk) 03:28, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Delete It is made redundant by the discography and has no sources. Given that so many bands are more significant than Rihanna, the idea of endless articles listing their songs is the logical out come of keeping this.--Sabrebd (talk) 09:31, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * While you may be correct about the logical outcome, I fail to see why articles listing the songs of notable artists would be a problem. Rlendog (talk) 01:45, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Keep This article serves a purpose, no other article serves that purpose, and it serves Wikipedia well to have it here. Just leave it be or improve it. There is no purpose to delete it. --Marcwiki9 (talk) 03:10, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is not redundant with the discography, since this lists all songs and the discography only lists a few songs. This may be redundant with a category of Rihanna songs, but even if it is the case it would not make this list unnecessary, since lists and categories serve different purposes per WP:CLN and WP:LIST.  And, per WP:LSC, even the fact that most of the songs on the list are not notable enough for their own articles would not make this list inappropriate, since that is the purpose of the list.

 * Delete We already have Rihanna discography and Category:Rihanna songs, so this list is redundant and pointless. Yilloslime T C  19:05, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * How is this list redundant with Rihanna discography when most songs are not included in the discography and don't belong in the discography? And why do you suggest Category:Rihanna songs makes this list redundant and pointless, when there is a guideline WP:CLN that says otherwise? Rlendog (talk) 21:48, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep: Category:Lists of songs by authors or performers is a well established category, and based on this nom would have to be deleted. The article includes songs not featured on her albums - information that is not readily linked to anywhere else. Metty 17:29, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

 *  Weak keep. No references to support notability, but the linked website evokes notability. To be checked Rirunmot (talk) 21:07, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
