List of songs in The Beatles: Rock Band

WP:DIRECTORY seems to apply here. Listcruft could also apply, as well as WP:NOTGUIDE. In any event, this is something not suited for Wikipedia but for a game guide site. ArcAngel (talk) 02:00, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Numerous precedent exists for articles of this type, see Category:Music video game soundtracks.  This information is notable, encyclopedic, and well-referenced. Song lists for music games are equally notable to a track listing on a musical album article.  Oren0 (talk) 02:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Songs from both the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series have been noted to gain attention after their inclusion in these games (see Cultural impact of the Guitar Hero series). In this particular case, we're talking one of the most significant bands of all time, so what music is included is of academic nature.  Tracking these songs per this reason is not a directory issue even if the information is available elsewhere. --M ASEM  (t) 02:23, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree that the information is well-referenced and provides a useful source of information. It is also written in a neutral tone.  Kendric_Apple (talk) 11:50, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per the above. Mike R (talk) 04:26, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: per Oren0. Well sourced and commonplace. Metty 04:46, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. In agreement with arguments above.  Robsinden (talk) 08:06, 14 September 2009 (UTC)\
 * Keep: per Oren0. This is no different than a track listing for an album, the listing is part of why the game is notable, and having a separate article allows not having a giant table in the main article. None of the categories under WP:NOTDIRECTORY apply to this article, and it tells what the game content is, not how to finish the game (as a guide would). PaulGS (talk) 08:31, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep all the GH and RB games have the songs spun out when they get too big, and this is not just a list, thought there is a mass of overlink in the tables, after all six links to the cavern all go to the same place. Darrenhusted (talk) 10:11, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - The list is not a directory, nor cruft, nor a guide, but a perfectly valid list, and thus none of the reasons provided for deletion in the nomination are valid. Rlendog (talk) 15:50, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, this is not really a gameguide, and is very similar to other lists that are currently maintained on Wikipedia, and as pointed out by above editors falls into a category for such lists. --Taelus (talk) 15:51, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
