List of songs recorded by Abhijeet Bhattacharya

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per the rationale given on two similar AfDs, this is a list of no notable items. This fails WP:SAL (Every entry meets the notability criteria for its own non-redirect article in the English Wikipedia).  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:32, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Abhijeet Bhattacharya. "List of songs recorded by X" is a valid search query, and this section has a list of notable songs by this artist who I cannot pronounce. T  C  N7 JM  09:29, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Non of those songs in that list are notable either - it's a list of films he's sung for/on. It's a very unlikely search term to be honest too.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 13:56, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I guess they are not that notable after looking at the table again (I confused the first and second rows), but on second thought, they don't really have to be. It's not a standalone list, it's within the singer's article and it helps give meaningful content to the article. If this is redirected, a person looking for songs recorded by this singer can find them here. T  C  N7 JM  10:01, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The policy on stand-alone lists clearly states "Every entry meets the notability criteria for its own non-redirect article in the English Wikipedia". It fails that and WP:NOTDIR too.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 10:29, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * First off, the list in the singer's main article is not standalone, so that does not apply. Second off, having a list of films this singer has recorded songs for and having the name of the song that was featured in the movie is useful information, and does not fail WP:NOTDIR. Furthermore, what does that have to do with redirecting the list? T  C  N7 JM  12:16, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:ITSUSEFUL is not a valid reason for keeping a list of non-notable items. They are all non-notable. It is non-notable. They are not notable.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 12:27, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * While I must proclaim that I was trying to avoid ITSUSEFUL by attempting to explain why and how the information was useful, I have come to agree with you that the list should not be redirected, but instead deleted because the list of songs is not notable. However, there still should be something in the article about the films the singer has sung for. I now vote delete. - T  C  N7 JM  02:02, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Instead of scattering all discussions, it would be better to have one discussion, if nominator feels these should be deleted too. I see that Articles for deletion/List of songs recorded by Mohammed Rafi is a separate discussion for no specific reason as such. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 07:44, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: Have following article been missed out of AfD, or are they more notable than this one or did nominator not come across these yet?
 * List of songs recorded by Udit Narayan
 * List of songs recorded by Alka Yagnik
 * List of songs recorded by Kishore Kumar
 * List of Bengali songs recorded by Shreya Ghoshal
 * List of songs recorded by Shreya Ghoshal
 * List of Telugu songs recorded by Shreya Ghoshal
 * List of songs recorded by Anuradha Paudwal
 * List of songs recorded by Kumar Sanu
 * List of songs by Lata Mangeshkar
 * I don't want an "all or none" type discussion. Each of those lists will be looked at in time. They all look prime deletion candidates.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 08:29, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Even if combined together, editors can gauge them differently and put their opinions. Isn't that possible? §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 12:32, 9 August 2013 (UTC)


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

 * Delete - the artist might be notable, and his songs might be too, but that doesn't mean it needs to go in a separate article, particularly as the main Abhijeet Bhattacharya article isn't really big enough for a content split. Ritchie333  (talk)  (cont)   14:51, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - this a "list of everything he's ever done ever, ever" article, more appropriate for his CV or website than a Wikipedia list article (even the list of 'notable songs' on the Abhijeet Bhattacharya article don't seem to show evidence of notability). Sionk (talk) 19:16, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
