List of songs about disasters
Disaster has rather flexible nomenclature. Thereby rendering this list unmaintainable.
 * Delete lists of disaster. --SuperDude 06:05, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- flexible nomenclature will mean the list gets large, eventually, yes, but at such point it can be split, too. --Mysidia (talk) 06:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - yet another unencyclopaedic, unlikely-to-be-maintained list. --Daveb 13:32, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, users should be able to find examples of songs about disasters. Can be refined if necessary. Kappa 14:40, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and refine. --Jacquelyn Marie 15:01, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I am starting to think about some of the subtopics that could be included... songs about natural disasters could be one, songs about environmental disasters could be another, and so on. --Jacquelyn Marie 15:02, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - worthy topic. Can be split up when number of listings warrant. 23skidoo 16:13, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable list OmegaWikipedia 18:15, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the word Disaster isn't even clearly defined. If I broke up with my lover, I might consider that a disaster. Unverifiable and unmaintainable list. &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 22:43, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Everyone is welcome to contribute to Centralized discussion/Lists of songs so we can find a consensus on such things. &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 22:43, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful and interesting list. --Centauri 06:37, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. List of songs on a subject which is not too broad, nor too trivial. I think most people will interpret "disaster" as "major fatal catastrophe" and not a wrecked love relationship. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:26, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This is an encyclop&aelig;dia, not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep a useful crosslinking of related songs...dave souza 22:10, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Categorize Lists should be used instead of categories only if there is a definable set of members that can reasonably be expected to have every member listed. This list is by its nature uncompletable, so a category, with appropriate subcategories is the way to go. Caerwine 00:02, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
