The result of the debate was Delete. Most of the articles mentioned in these lists have already been categorised, and in any case, I'm not going to go through every single freakin' one looking for those that haven't been categorised. Deathphoenix ʕ 06:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

===List of songs by name (A, B, C, D, E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z)=== These lists of songs that have articles could go on forever! and also, people are opposing to song lists on Wikipedia as per the accusations people put on me for adding listcruft that I interpret as legitimate contributions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nintendude (talk • contribs)
 * Delete as potentially unmaintainable lists. --Nintendude 15:11, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete list article, create song category, if it doesn't already exist. Vizjim 15:23, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and create categories per Vizjim.-- blue 520  15:38, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash; About as valid as the slew of lists on the "Lists of people" page. These provide multi-variate data that can not be readily captured by means of categories. &mdash; RJH 16:08, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: multi-variate data that is absolutely useless. If someone really wants the information that badly, it can be achieved much more effectively with categories. --Hetar 17:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Categories are exactly that -- lists by name. And they're automatic. Categorize or delete, and User:Nintendude needs to have a look at WP:POINT. TheProject 19:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Categorize, although once again Nintendude is in violation of WP:POINT. 23skidoo 19:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete While Nintendude does have some issues with proving a point, he's absolutely correct on this nomination. These articles should not be lists nor categories. We do not need to put every single song listed on Wikipedia into a category simply because of what letter it begins with. It's simply ludicrous. -- Kicking222 20:47, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Kicking. If we deleted Bands by letter, we sure need to delete songs by letter, which is 20 times as unmaintainable. Fan1967 20:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Kicking222. DarthVad e r 22:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment My recollection is that a list of songs was put up at AfD 18 months ago and the result was to delete. Capitalistroadster 03:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per my comment above. --kingboyk 11:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Categorize and delete this list, but Nintendude indeed may be accused of WP:POINT violations. Stifle (talk) 17:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment He may well, but in some of these cases he also has a point. There has been some ridiculous listcruft out there besides his. Fan1967 21:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, another bad faith nomination and WP:POINT. --User:BrownHairedGirl (talk • contribs) 16:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with nintendude (or rather, he with me.  I nominated this years ago) -- GWO

 * Delete. This kind of sorting should be done through categorization, not another list which will be very difficult to maintain. Zaxem 06:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
