List of music videos using animation
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

No attempt made at sourcing since last AFD. Seems like a trivia list. First AFD was closed as keep after only two WP:ITSNOTABLE !votes, second was closed (way too early IMO) as no consensus. Sourcing seems impossible; I've looked and found nothing that discusses animation as a notable factor of music videos.

 * Keep I've just made an attempt at sourcing an entry! Clear inclusion criteria for a list. Tag for cleanup and remove the non-notable items.  Lugnuts  (talk) 09:06, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - the sourcing issues are quite prevalent. Additionally, as time goes on and CGI, which is quite proliferated, increases so does the inclusionary criteria for this article. It's an open-ended list with few discernable parameters, and a lack of any notability. Essentially, this is as notable a list as List of music videos using actors, List of music videos using moving pictures, or List of music videos using instruments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharp962 (talk • contribs)

 * Delete - per user Sharp962s comments above.  He  iro  03:22, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete There are all of three (3) references listed, and 100+ entries (I stopped counting at 100, which brought me to the D's - Daft Punk). So there are serious sourcing issues, which will only increase as time goes on and the list grows ever larger. If the list were broken down into multiple lists by style or method of animation, then those sublists might be notable as subarticles under the appropriate animation style/method article (if those pages are in fact notable and exist) as examples of the form, but this list doesn't really stand on its own, although I do understand why people would want it included.

 * Delete, I fail to see the significance of the list. Using animation is not something that makes a music video particularly notable. J I P  &#124; Talk 13:35, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. I could envision a list along this line being an appropriate list; however, I believe it should be limited to videos for which sources are cited that comment on the use of animation in the video, and instead of just listing artists and titles, each video cited should have at least some additional information, such as the type of animation used, who created the animation, and/or awards or critical commentary related to the use of animation in the video. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:33, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
