List of songs from films

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

One of these lists that can be endless, almost every film as songs in it, see WP:LC Delete This is a Secret account 20:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I think the intent was to make a list of songs that were specifically written for a film soundtrack, rather than a list of songs that have been in a film at some point. However, such a list would require more verification than this.  Wikipedians seem to get nauseated by lists of this nature, so I'm not encouraging the author to source the article.  I'm sure there will be a lot of people agreeing with your nomination. Mandsford (talk) 21:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This song list could run to 200k songs, easily. But it is useful and notable information. This Wikipedia at the moment, doesn't seem to have at the moment, a way to associate semantic or meta name tags to specific subjects or articles in a way which enables individual articles to be built up as a category or group of related articles. Does it? So what does it do in the meantime. scope_creep (talk) 22:56, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Categorify. There's no need for a list here.  Kwsn   (Ni!)  01:09, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Enough of these absurd lists. What's next -- a list of songs sung by French women under the age of 46? A list of paintings that contain the color blue? Raymond Arritt (talk) 01:13, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, this is beyond what lists are for. Mr.  Z- man  01:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless the next list is List of songs that rhyme. Danny (talk) 01:31, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete list subject far too broad, impossible to manage. RMHED (talk) 16:51, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree, the topic is simply too broad. In theory every motion picture with a musical score could be listed here. 23skidoo (talk) 19:37, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete a near endless and pointless list. RMHED (talk) 23:01, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Whoops! once is enough. RMHED (talk) 23:53, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - A broad category, difficult to manage. Songs from movies may find a place in an article related to that movie, not here -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me / My edits 07:03, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete NO!!! There must be millions of songs out there that have at some point been used in at least one film, but none of the songs have anything in common with each other other than this one quirk of their usage. You might as well have a List of songs that have been played in my car and that wouldn't be notable either. So, as the article is, straight failure of WP:UNENC.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by A1octopus (talk • contribs) 19:40, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
