List of songs recorded by Led Zeppelin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a trivial list. All the songs can already be found on the Led Zeppelin discography page and are also listed in the Category:Led Zeppelin songs page. The sole purpose of this list also appears to be a smear/attack page again Led Zeppelin by implication. Note: in a previous AfD on these songs lists (eg. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs by Taylor Swift) the result was a redirect to the discography page. RichardLesses (talk) 00:24, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This meets WP:SALAT - all the entries are notable in their own right by one of the most notable bands on the planet. How does this "appear to be a smear/attack page"?  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 09:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It is a laundry list. Look at the article history. This article was created with malice. It is not needed, we already have a discography page. RichardLesses (talk) 10:32, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Saying that the article was "created with malice" and "appears to be a smear/attack page" are personal attacks unless they are backed up with evidence. Let's see that evidence, it's not clear to me either from the article or its history. 137.43.182.141 (talk) 13:10, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree. I've looked at the article history and I don't see any malice. I'm more concerned that the nominator has needed to create an alternative account to log this AfD in the first place.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 14:06, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm simply using my real name not an anonymous account. You should be encouraging it not being concerned about it. RichardLesses (talk) 14:34, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I should be, but I'm not.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 18:35, 16 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep This article is very useful if you want to see all songs by Led Zeppelin without going to their discography. I worked a lot in the article (the creator worked even more than me) and I don't want to delete it. The songs are in alphabetical order, that makes it easier.

 * Keep. Don't understand the nomination either. The Taylor Swift list was a little premature, only two albums released when last deleted, so I am not sure it acts as precedent. A "List of songs recorded" is NOT a discography, but works well in conjunction with a discography. There are over 200+ "List of songs recorded by" articles. Note to those working on improving the article. Check the references and expand... --Richhoncho (talk) 13:28, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. This seems a suitable topic for a list. The majority of these songs do not appear on the band's discography page, and there's no reason this information can't be expanded/improved like other, similar lists [e.g., Rihanna's, Foo Fighters', The Jackson 5's, etc). I agree that references should be incorporated.  Gong   show  18:02, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Coherent list; useful source of in-links. Status of band in rock history is immense, with multiple biographies dealing with many, most, or all of these recordings. Carrite (talk) 18:11, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep -for the same reasons as Richoncho. --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 19:17, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Even if the nominating rationale was correct, it would only support redirecting, not deleting. But the only songs that appear on the discography list are the singles, so this is not redundant to that list and should be kept. Rlendog (talk) 19:23, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This is not a discography, this is a list of songs deserving of inclusion in our encyclopedia. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 00:15, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - per above. Mlpearc ( powwow ) 01:19, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
