List of songs in Metalocalypse

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Half of the songs in this article appear in The Dethalbum article, while most of the latter songs use unofficial titles. The unofficial titles are not sourced. The final section of the lists "Songs performed by other artists or bands", which are all fictional characters from the show - not actual bands. These songs are not notable enough yet to have their own list.  StarScream1007  ►Talk  19:03, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The only difference in accrediting songs in The Dethalbum article and this article is the presentation of that information. Both articles feature attribution of songs to Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha. Both articles mention the fictional characters who performed songs in the episodes of Metalocalypse in which those songs appeared.
 * It's a shame that the person who wrote this article did not include the citations of the unofficial names from the MP3 download sites, but perhaps they were considering avoiding advertising.
 * I am withholding my vote until more information about notability and sourcing appears. Anarchangel (talk) 10:02, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - the term "Unofficial MP3" suggests that it's actually another file format; I'm aware that it more likely means 'Recorded from my DVR'd episode collection'. that in turn means that they're hazarding a guess as to what it was actually titled by the show's production studio/writers/the living band members. It can easily lead to duplications by assigning the song two different names, neither of which can be confirmed. The use of the term to apply to MP3s downloadable via the show or creators sites gives the patina of legitimacy to the pirated material. I'm not sure that the article can be saved without appearing to be a duplication of the DethAlbum article. Alternately, a new article 'Non-album releases by Metalocalypse' can be created for the limited release, non-album songs which can be efffectively documented. Either way, all that 'unofficial MP3' stuff needs to be gone fast as WP:OR, WP:SYNTH and a generally bad idea for oour articles to be seen as endorsing media piracy.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete per the valid copyright concerns presented above. It could be very much argued that this constitutes a copyvio in the Wikipedia sense. MuZemike 18:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
