Delete - deleted based on a prod, restored by an admin. Similar to innumerable "lists of songs by special sounds" that have been deleted, in fact so many such lists that the category holding them was also deleted. This is a directory of loosely associated items. The songs have nothing in common past the use of a particular instrument/vocal effect. The use of a vocoder says nothing about the songs, nothing about the vocoder, nothing about any relationship between the songs (as there is none) and nothing about music in general.

 * Merge into Vocoder As with "Love and Marriage" (the vocoder version), you can't have one without the other. Mandsford 14:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep It's unfortunate to see this list on its way out. Taking into consideration that the list has, agreeably, been loosely put together and is lacking sufficient references, I still tend to believe that it continues to belong under the subject vocoder.  I am a "vocoder fan" if such a thing exists, and this was the only such list I have been able to find online (I found this list by entering vocoder in WP).  What contributed to its length and thoroughness(I mean the list as a whole) was the fact that many people helped put it together, this being the fundamental principle behind WP.  Similar lists exist on the net, but each is mostly compiled by one person and due to that fact, are severely limited in content.  The vocoder is still being used today for new releases, and even if users were to copy/download the current list now before its impending deletion, visitors (including those who already contributed and those who could do so in the future) will no longer have readily access to updates regarding new bands/releases that use this instrument.  Otto, You mentioned "the songs have nothing in common past the use of a particular instrument/vocal effect", and I might agree with you, but cheerfully add that this is exactly the reason why this list was such a great find for me.  On the other hand, while, in my opinion at least, there is a solid relationship between these songs, I might concur that there exists a better place for this list than here, if I better knew what options were available.  Can the list stay intact if I was to renovate the list by trying to go through and start citing/sourcing at least some of the entries to increase the articles overall credibility?  Or (I don't know Wiki that well) is there someplace else with comparable access that we can move the list to, so as not to detrimentally affect the integrity of the original article?

 * Delete This is pure listcruft, and listcruft quotes 'list of songs that contain the laughter of children' as an example of something highly questionable. The importance of the vocoder and the key notable uses of it are well-documented on the vocoder page, anything important that has been missed out should be merged.
