List of songs involving video games

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Putting up for deletion per WP:NOT and WP:NOT. Has all the same problems as all the other lists of songs -- not sourced, not encyclopedic, not verified, non-notable juncture, etc. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 14:21, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * comment I think Nttend thinks there will be quite a large number of them? If so, such a connection has apparently been often considered important by the people who write the songs... DGG (talk) 23:38, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, dgg's comment and nyttend's delete is together a reason to keep! More seriously, you see entire articles written about music in video games. No problem having the article. Mathmo Talk 00:46, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you're confused, this isn't about music in video games which is notable. It's about video games in music which isn't notable. Crazysuit 02:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:NOT a directory of loosely associated songs that happen to contain sounds from unrelated video games in them. Nice list though. Crazysuit 02:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think it's peculiar that video games are a theme/topic for other areas of popular culture, but the fact that I think a trend is peculiar does not mean it's not a notable topic and potentially encyclopedic. The list provides some documentation of a cultural trend; the article probably should be expanded to tell more about the cultural trend. The list is tagged as "dynamic," so it is acknowledged that it is hard to maintain. The list itself may not be well-sourced, but the subject matter is not controversial, the article is reasonably well organized, and the list elements are appropriately linked to other articles.--orlady 22:57, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete These are all novelty tunes, most of which never caused a ripple in the music world, because video games generally don't last very long. Buckner & Garcia had Pac-Man Fever as a hit single, but anyone who bought the album (see the list for the songs that weren't hits) was embarrassed to be seen with it.
