List of descriptive songs whose titles are mentioned in the lyrics
User:Light current seems to think that this is a speedy candidate.
 * Keep as song list with a unique theme. --Nintendude 07:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It would take a unique definition of "unique" to classify this list's theme as unique. Carbonite | Talk 18:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Are you serious? I can barely think of any songs whose titles are not mentioned in the lyrics. Flyboy Will 08:19, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Flyboy Will. Worst listcruft I've ever seen. Zunaid 09:10, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Flyboy Will. Not quite the worst listcruft I've ever seen - we once had a list of British television personalities with a missing or deformed hand - but, if kept, this would undoubtedly be the longest list ever. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 09:43, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * All right, I have to ask: how big was that list? --Calton | Talk 01:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe it had made it to about four entries when deleted, though the only one I can remember is Jeremy Beadle. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 10:32, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment List of descriptive songs whose titles are mentioned in the title that redirects to it should be deleted as well - probably speedied. Flyboy Will 09:50, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * When articles are deleted, their redirects can certainly be speedied. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 09:31, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'm working on a List of crufty lists, and I will be linking to ... only joking. Delete. --Squiddy 10:35, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, too broad and unmaintainable. That's what we have List of songs for. At least list of British television personalities with a missing or deformed hand has clearly established inclusion criteria that are NOT too broad. - Mgm|(talk) 10:48, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - too big a list. Most songs mention the title somewhere in the song - those that don't are the rarity, if anything. Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 15:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete useless listcruft that is entirely unmaintainable and could easily grow to fill the entire server.Gateman1997 18:04, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per above arguments. Punkmorten 18:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per above. Carbonite | Talk 18:07, 21 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per all above. Over 90% of all recorded songs with lyrics include the title somewhere in their titles... and, no, a List of descriptive songs whose titles are not mentioned in the lyrics would not be a good idea, either. B.Wind 18:31, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - bad listcruff --Naha|(talk) 19:55, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unmaintainable listcruft. You can call me Al 20:40, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per our rule against indiscriminate collections of information. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 23:56, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete A list so inclusive as to be utterly meaningless. --Calton | Talk 01:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, verging on BJAODN. I challenge the author to find a single serious song that does 'not' mention the title in the lyrics. And what the hell is a descriptive song anyway. Worst list I have ever seen. Werdna648T/C\@ 01:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * We've already got that covered. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 03:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * That article should be deleted, too, for the same reasons. B.Wind 17:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Side Note Bizarrely, that article has survived TWO AfD's already! (here and here). Seems like its here to stay :( Zunaid 07:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete --NaconKantari 01:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Most songs have their titles mentioned in the lyrics, that's how people find in a record store a song they liked on the radio. Endomion 07:29, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This article talks about songs with titles describing whether the song is "This Opera", "Mambo # that" and "That Ballad" where the title is actually said. Will anybody vote keep now? (unsigned comment from anon)
 * Delete. The opposite is perhaps notable, this one on AfD however is not. --Andylkl [ talk! 16:40, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
