Indiscriminate, unmaintainable list. Extraordinary Machine 00:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as indiscriminant, unmaintainable list. If this were even 10% "complete" it would be the biggest article on Wikipedia by far. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  00:50, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Hopelessly unmaintainable. 17Drew 01:06, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per all the above. We will never be able to have [List of Wikipedia articles]. -- FayssalF  - Wiki me up®  01:11, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per loose inclusion criteria, which is in violation of WP:NOT Corpx 01:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per notability, but definitely clean-up greatly. I'll do some clean-up now to help.  Regards, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 01:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you really think that this list is maintainable? Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 02:03, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong delete. This list would be looooooooooooooooong even if it were but 10% complete. It's hopelessly unmaintainable -- there have been literally millions of commercials since TV was invented, and there have probably been millions of pop songs used in commercials. And furthermore, what about rewrites? (For example, Alan Jackson's "Mercury Blues" was re-written as "Ford Truck Blues" for a Ford commercial; Steve Holy's "Brand New Girlfriend" was similarly re-written as "Brand New Ford Truck".)

 * Delete A very large number of songs are featured in television commercials, I could name countless songs used in commercials off the top of my head. If a song's use in a commercial is notable, it should be included in the song's article. Also, the majority of this article is copied directly from another website, so it faild WP:NOT Calgary 02:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Unmaintainable and unnotable. I'm removing the New Zealand part of the article immediately because it's a direct copyvio from . -- Charlene 02:13, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete indiscriminant and hopelessly unmaintainable. Oysterguitarist 32:19, 10 July 2007 (UTC) 02:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

 * If Le Grand wants to sit through sixty years of TV commercials, looking up every song in every commercial he sees, I say let him keep it. Otherwise, delete. -- BlastOButter42 See  Hear  Speak  04:45, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete belongs on a dedicated site of it's own. If only someone would go through the time and trouble to make one.  Oh, wait, they have: http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk  Lugnuts 06:59, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's an unmaintainable list. Moreover, as underlined from Lugnuts, there is already a site for that reason Magioladitis 07:43, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's a difference between lists that will never be complete but are maintainable, and this. Not maintainable under the most broad set of circumstances. - RPIRED 13:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as loosely related list, extraordinarily difficult to maintain, and another article to add to the thousands of "Lists of Songs that..." Useight 18:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Cruft, unmaintainable--would even crash a Vista PC eventually. Am I the only one seeing snow in July?  Blueboy96 20:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Looks like the author only wrote a little bit before realizing why this wouldn't work. Ad campaigns are temporary, and while advertising jingles may be memorable, the use of a song in a commercial is forgotten as soon as the campaign is over.  Mandsford 02:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
