List of fictional musicals

Fails WP:SALAT. No self-respecting source has ever broached such a list, as far as I can determine. Even WatchMojo hasn't touched it. See also the related Afd for List of fictional plays. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:43, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Most of these are utterly non-notable or WP:OR. Springtime for Hitler is the only one that strikes me as notable, and that has its own article, ergo this list is unnecessary.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:51, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - A lot of unsourced trivia that fails WP:LISTN. As mentioned by ZXCVBNM, Springtime for Hitler is the only independently notable example -  the other two blue linked entries started out fictional, but then became real-life musicals.  And even then, a list article that only has three, at most, blue linked entries does not serve a useful purpose as a navigational tool.  Rorshacma (talk) 22:36, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete- listcruft. As a rough rule, we should not have "List of fictional XYZ" if the topic "XYZ in fiction" would not be an encyclopedia article. Reyk YO! 21:06, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
