List of clichés in music
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, such as a list of supposedly clichéd topics and archetypes. Furthermore, the contention that each member of this list has become clichéd is POV, and contains large elements of original research. NatusRoma | Talk 20:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or transfer to wikibooks or wikisource. Very interesting list which should be available somewhere, if not on Wikipedia.Hektor 20:43, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Some of the other cliché articles have their merits, but this just seems like a vain attempt to complete the series. Most of the items listed aren't cliches, but either conventions, or actually rather rare. TheMadBaron 01:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. (No other option makes sense.)  &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 00:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep article could prove useful with a little work and consensus. Cliche's are notable. --The_stuart 04:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep all cliches.  Grue   14:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete or transwiki to Wikisource. Not encyclopaedic material, and currently a poorly-defined list with POV criteria for inclusion. Notability also questionable. See WP:LC. Stifle (talk) 15:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be a bad faith nomination as cliches are generally notable. - CNichols 19:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as inherently POV topic and title. See how the article cliché clearly states the decision to classify anything as "cliché" is POV. This also appears to be completely original research. LjL 20:43, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
