List of songs about telephones

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Consensus has been mixed about Lists of songs about... in general. This one, however, seems clear-cut. A list of songs about telephones would probably be random trivia anyway. But as the talk page says, most of these songs aren't even about telephones. Many include telephone numbers, or even just the sound of a phone ringing. Serpent&#39;s Choice 03:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. This one would be too hard to pigeonhole. Is "Lips of an Angel" about telephones, since the whole song is a telephone call? What about "Callin' Baton Rouge" by Garth Brooks? What about "Wichita Lineman"? What about "Direct Connect" by Craig Hand (country song about cell phones)? See where I'm going with this?

 * Delete - trivial and poorly defined list definition. --Haemo 09:14, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, indiscriminate. Punkmorten 11:40, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Article is trivia at best. Ninja! 17:32, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. But see List of songs about nudity and List of songs about animals, and their related AfD discussions.   CharacterZero  |  Speak  17:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * lol it is trivia, but it doesn't try to pass itself off as anything else. I don't see the danger in keeping it, but my opinion is Delete as trivia for now.  Hopefully the pro-telephone-song-guy will find this AfD and make a good case for keeping it, but I don't see one.  daveh4h 19:07, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, it made me laugh, but sadly, it isn't nearly imporant enough to be here.  *Cremepuff 222*  19:59, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, it made me giggle too. But then again wikipedia isn't a humor site so I say delete. Sweboi 14:01, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, cute list but still not encyclopedic or able to be defined with any precision. Carlossuarez46 18:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article is cute yet unencyclopedic. The Hooded One 01:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I hate lists, but I'm only saying weak for two reasons: a. It's a short list. b. 99% of the songs seem to fit the subject. A pleasant surprise after seeing some of the massive unverified monstrosities out there. Bongwarrior 01:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
