List of music groups whose songs have been used in advertising
Annnnnnnnnnnd it's back, less than two weeks after failing VFD. I'm not sure if we can speedy this, though. DS 21:16, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh, and can we protect it against being recreated? Since the page creator obviously didn't get the hint. DS 21:26, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * No need to protect I think. Just make sure to remove the link from Selling out after this is deleted again, as I'm sure this was recreated from that link.  The content was originally in Selling out, so actually I was the original creator of the article at this title. Isomorphic 05:38, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy if this is significantly similar to the previous article, Delete otherwise. android  79  21:34, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * delete as previously. It isn't similar enough for speedy though (different layout and different set of songs listed). Thryduulf 01:11, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete again. -Splash 01:34, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete again - my arguments (see below) have not changed - Skysmith 10:54, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

List of music groups whose songs have been used in advertising
This list is rather pointless since it could never be comprehensive, and it implies a POV just by existing. The material was moved from selling out, where it also caused a POV problem, but it really isn't needed at all. Isomorphic 5 July 2005 03:55 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non-comprehensive, not really valuable even if we managed to list them all...-- Natalinasmpf 5 July 2005 05:35 (UTC)
 * Delete, totally unmaintainable. Dcarrano July 5, 2005 05:44 (UTC)
 * Delete unencyclopedic unmaintainable list. JamesBurns 5 July 2005 06:07 (UTC)
 * Delete, there have been some songs that shot to prominence through being in ads but not the place for it. Excession 5 July 2005 09:46 (UTC)
 * Delete, all reasons mentioned above DePiep 5 July 2005 12:41 (UTC)
 * Delete. --Conti|&#9993; July 5, 2005 15:51 (UTC)
 * Keep - if limited to notable instances of notable songs by notable groups used in notable ad campaigns (which the list currently seems to comprise). I could see someone using this to find out, for example, the name of that catchy Sting tune from that sleek Jaguar commercial. -- BD2412 talk July 5, 2005 21:51 (UTC)
 * Delete - unmaintainable list, because advertisers use recognizable tunes for nostalgia value and various other reasons. This list would expand every time some agency uses some tune in in a commercial. Every advertising agency regard their own campaigns as noticeable - and would be in position to include themselves into WP, of course. If this were, say, list of music groups or composers that compose music exclusively for advertising, it would make sense - Skysmith 6 July 2005 10:49 (UTC)
 * Keep per BD2412.  Grue   6 July 2005 11:57 (UTC)
 * Delete, unencyclopedic. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; July 6, 2005 13:30 (UTC)
