List of songs about animals

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Regardless of what might be able to be said about an actual list of songs about animals, this list, by its own criteria in the lede, is a List of songs that mention an animal in their titles. Lists of songs by words in their title have generally been considered trivial and/or indiscriminate. Serpent&#39;s Choice 04:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep and trim to just songs that are actually about animals. A list of "songs with (insert word here) in the title" is usually indiscriminate, but I could see songs actually about animals as being at least vaguely encyclopedic.

 * Delete I admire Ten Pound Hammer's optimism, but it's not worth the bother. Just delete per WP:NOT. Yechiel Man  16:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's why I went with a weak keep. I could see some entries being disputed (for instance, is "Feed Jake" by Pirates of the Mississippi truly about a dog, if that dog is only mentioned in passing in the chorus, and the verses have virtually nothing to do with the chorus?), but I still don't feel a need to change my vote.

 * Delete songs about... have inherent problems of lack of precision and, in part because of that, don't really have encyclopedic value. Carlossuarez46 18:39, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete What possible interest could this hold for the reader? Pure listcruft. Adrian   M. H.  21:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
