List of songs about widows or widowers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is just a listicle that is best suited for BuzzFeed or another site and not Wikipedia. I think the songs listed could be listed in a category and not like this article that hasn't been edited since December 2016. Pahiy (talk) 15:55, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - Not a notable cross-section of topics, nor is it sourced at all, nor does it do a good job of covering the subject in any sort of comprehensive detail. Unless some sort of drastic overhaul, I’d say the best possible scenario outside of deletion would be to draftify it, but even that I imagine would eventually lead to an inevitable WP:G13 deletion realistically.

 * Delete - There is a citation to an old Entertainment Weekly article that is not available online, but I would bet that this WP article is a quick copy of a little pop culture list in that magazine, which the creator typed into Wikipedia one day then never visited again, not to mention doing no additional research to find other songs about widows/widowers, of which there are probably many more. I agree that it's not really an encyclopedic topic. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 18:47, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as there does not appear to be enough coverage of this topic as a group to justify a list. Aoba47 (talk) 05:41, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe my edit was mistakenly reverted. So I put it again: *Delete, The article is not sourced, not a notable topic either Alex-h (talk) 10:00, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Apologies for that. I redirected the edit because there was a strange URL added to my comment, and I must have missed that it would undo your comment. Thank you for putting it back up. Aoba47 (talk) 00:30, 26 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - trivial list - WP:LISTCRUFT, WP:Overlistification - Epinoia (talk) 20:11, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
