List of eponymous albums (songwise)
I don't know how it managed to survive the first nomination. Perhaps people didn't understand that this is a list of albums which have the song on them with the same title... which is about 90% of all albums that are not eponymous with the artist. Delete.  Grue  16:24, 7 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd guess it survived because people actually wanted it? People are willing to update it and it's no worse than any of the other lists on Wikipedia. (I like and update them too, I don't see the problem when WP is limitless in space.) Keep. Satan&#39;s Rubber Duck 18:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Update it? You mean add about thousand of albums that it doesn't include? Yes, it's worse than most of the lists, because most of the lists contain things that have some interesting properties, not something that's true for 50% of these things. Hell, it even does have "similar but not quite there" section as if the main section doesn't have potential to be the largest list in Wikipedia. We don't need an article titled list of FOO when it in fact doesn't contain even 10% of FOO. That's just misleading.  Grue   19:32, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Firstly I'd argue with your figures in the first comment, as by checking my own CD collection I'd estimate about only 30% of albums have a matching or near-matching track. Secondly, perhaps a move to List of songs with the same name as albums (to be a counterpart to List of songs with the same name as song artists). I don't think the "similar but" section should be there for any of the lists to be honest, so that could be removed... eh. Let's see how the vote goes.

 * Delete. The worst kind of listcruft. Replace, if absolutely necessary, with Category: Albums containing a song of the same title. -- keep sleep ing   slack   off!  19:27, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete how about Albums with the preformer on the cover, or Bands with a bassist. Listcruft. Eivind 23:28, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I was among the out-voted last time, but I am unrepentant. I love lists; and rarely vote to kill them but here it needs to go.  My reasons before -- and now -- are basically that it was nearly every album and impossible to be even reasonably complete.  I also noted that by eponymous one might assume that there would be some connection between the artists' names and their songs. I still feel it needs a retitle if we decide to keep this.

 * Strong delete - a list that is bascally limitless. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Please see Listcruft for further reasoning. Stifle 00:54, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful list that would be even better if it was organized by musical genre. In many ways, this list is far less silly than some of our other song lists because it is something people like to discuss. -- JJay 02:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
