List of songs about basketball

An indiscriminate list of information just waiting to happen... "Songs that may remind a listener of basketball"? Don't see how this could possibly ever be encyclopaedic —  iride  scent  18:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Author appears new to the world of Wikipedia, so I'll emphasize to you VSimon, don't take the comments as a criticism of you personally. There are policies about lists (WP:LIST); the one about "indiscriminate information" refers to the fact that putting up a list of things that have something in common is not the basis for an article.  "Original research", shortened to OR, means that articles can't be made up solely of things that you're aware of.  Finally, lists of "songs about _______" are not encouraged as encyclopedia articles.  Don't let this experience deter you from creating other articles.  This one won't fly.
