List of songs in movie trailers that are not in the movie

 * This nomination was not completed; listing now. Flowerparty ■ 02:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I don't really think this list is even "important" enough to be in an encyclopedia. I don't think that anyone would ever go looking for th is information and go "wow that's interesting", but I could be wrong. But I just think the list is pretty pointless.

 * Delete, for what I said above, I think it should be deleted. Private Butcher 00:59, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Some people think special song trivia is interesting. --SuperDude 04:33, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * "Interesting," but unencyclopedic. Delete. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 02:53, 30 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete, not encyclopedic. &mdash; J I P | Talk 05:07, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete not encyclopedic, ambigious criteria. Xoloz 05:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Just because Wikipedia is text-based is no reason to have a text-based bias. Joaquin Murietta 07:32, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Eh? WP has plenty of articles on non-text things, including many songs, and these interesting creatures called humans, which are not text.  It is, however, a requirement (not a bias) that things with articles here be encyclopedic, which many hold this isn't. Xoloz 08:43, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I wonder whether it's common to use songs not in the movie on the trailer. If it is the list could be endless. Otherwise, it may actually be informative. - Mgm|(talk) 09:23, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It is, as Average Earthman notes. I can't tell you how many movie trailers I've seen featuring a song by Enya or featuring O Fortuna from Carmina Burana. Al 12:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is actually very common, so the list will be very long. The soundtrack is often the last thing to be fixed in a film, often after the publicity machine has started, which is why trailers often have the theme tunes from completely different films.

 * Delete. Unmaintainable; it seems every trailer produced these days features a song not on the soundtrack. android  79  12:50, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unmaintainable (Al is correct, for example), fails WP:Importance. Please consider joining the centralized discussion about "Lists of songs".  Barno 15:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unencyclopedic: a fairly random happenstance. -Splash talk 20:58, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. --Agamemnon2 21:36, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. So many movie trailers do this, it could almost be List of movie trailers. --Carnildo 21:55, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, but I sure would be interested in an article about why/how this phenomenon happens, with perhaps a few notable singles from soundtracks that were never in movies. As a list, for the reasons many people listed above, it just won't do. --Jacquelyn Marie 21:59, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It happens because soundtracks are the last thing to be added to a film (if the making of the film extras are to be trusted). The music isn't finalised when the trailer is released, so they add appropriate music instead. I think. Oh, and delete. Sabine's Sunbird 23:06, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. I find it interesting.  It contains facts.  Wikipedia does not have paper restictions-- Nick Dillinger 05:36, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
