List of rock epics

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A random pov list of "epics" with a vague set of criteria for inclusion. Introduction is pure original research and the entire article lacks any sort of verifiability to support any of the list entries as an "epic" other than the song being a longer duration than the standard 3 minute single.

 * Delete: a never ending list. It's too vague in scope. WP:LISTCRUFT, WP:NOTDIRECTORY. JamesBurns (talk) 02:29, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Almost every single song listed has already passed the wikipedia notable test, since it has its own article page.  The few that don't, have artists with their own page, making the song significant enough to be listed.  And the list is fine, it showing the length of the songs.

 * It doesn't matter if the songs is notable, The issue here is the songs is considered as a "rock ballad" or not, which is just original research which is against our policy. Delete Secret account 18:52, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research. What constitutes a "rock epic" is the whim of the poster. Themfromspace (talk) 21:04, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep if rules are outlined regarding what exactly to include. Additionally only songs should be included that have an own article and sources to show they meet the given rules.-- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  09:33, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. This list needs better referencing and more defined inclusion criteria, not deletion. There are plenty of reliable sources calling a good number of these songs "epics". E.g., "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", "Stairway to Heaven", "American Pie", "Bohemian Rhapsody", etc. Here's a source that could probably be used to help flesh out the introduction.

 * Delete. WP:LISTCRUFT. Inherently violates WP:NOR and WP:NPOV. — sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 07:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as an inherent violation of WP:NOR and WP:NPOV. There is simply no way to independently determine whether a song is a "rock epic". Stifle (talk) 18:25, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not opposed to this being recreated if there is very strong sourcing, but a cleanout is needed first. Stifle (talk) 18:30, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bad criteria, no sources, no real concept. Vaguely like "The Final Countdown" isn't a genre. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire - past ops) 20:12, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
