List of online lyrics databases
A list of external links to lyrics databases. Wikipedia is not a website directory. JoaoRicardotalk 02:05, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete extreme listcruft. At the very least in my opinion you could just categorize the sites. WhiteNight T 02:38, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete As per What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia is not a link repository. --Lightdarkness 03:01, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey - I made the page. But I understand if it should be deleted and I know WP is not a web directory. How about making a category Internet lyrics databases? Would that be more appropriate? --Anthony5429 04:13, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete no, that still wouldn't work as it'd still violate WP:NOT a repository of links -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 06:31, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it might be ok as long as it was done properly with articles and the lyrics repositories that meet WP:WEB. I'm not sure what you could write about them though... WhiteNight T 14:43, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to a Category You will note the Kiwilyrics site already has a WP article which survived a VFD. I think the ILS is also very notable and could have an article. (http://geocities.com/lapetitelesson/cs/text/lyri.txt). There are probably several sites which would be worthy of an article, and could be categorized. Note also that there is a category of Internet search engines despite the fact that there are thousands of them and each is discussing a link to a URL so the category is essentially a link repository. I think the category method of sorting these sites would meet WP:WEB and would not violate WP:NOT. --Anthony5429 16:14, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT. If the individual website articles are made then that's fair enough, but a list of links is not! Mushintalk 17:32, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Having the link to dmoz.org on the lyrics page should be sufficient. Turnstep 18:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete indiscriminate -- Krash 19:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, we don't want to link to copyright violators. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:11, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
