List of songs about London

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A pretty indiscriminate list, one that will never be finished and really should be a category, not a list. 狐 Dhéanamh ar rolla bairille!  10:36, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Not every song on the list has an article. We can put the articles on the list into a category, but we would have to write ones for the remaining songs.  –BuickCenturyDriver 10:46, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If they aren't notable for articles, why should they be on this list? That's the very definition of "indiscriminate". 狐 Dhéanamh ar rolla bairille!   10:48, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * There's no need to discount a song as not notable just because it doesn't have its own article. Nobody had the time to write about them, that's all.  –BuickCenturyDriver 11:05, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If the songs are notable, shouldn't they at least have a source supporting their inclusion in the list? Virtually none of these items have a source. -MrFizyx (talk) 15:06, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak keep It doesn't seem to me to be indiscriminate. "List of songs which include words which contain none of the letters from 'catfish'" would be indiscriminate. This seems to be thematic and not unreasonable given WP:LISTPURP. ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  prorogation  ─╢ 12:45, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems like a good enough list for WP. Jaque Hammer (talk) 15:48, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Inclusion criteria seems obvious, not an infinite list, not an obscure subject, a decent source of in-links, nicely done. Carrite (talk) 16:19, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - the issues are cleanup (of entries where neither the song nor the artist has an article) and verifiability, but the inclusion criterion is clear and, as mentioned, not unreasonable.--70.80.234.163 (talk) 17:38, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly defined inclusion criteria for the list. Nominator should read WP:CLN to see that a category doesn't replace a list, and vice-versa.  Lugnuts  (talk) 18:19, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, while it's a very informative list for those, who never been to London, but want to know more about its culture and life. It only needs further expand and short descriptions for its entries (e.g., what locations and people have been mentioned). – George Serdechny 08:58, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - I used this list of songs to help plan a music session celebrating St George's Day at a centre for adults with learning difficulties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.68.215 (talk) 09:50, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
