List of songs recorded by My Chemical Romance

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

I'm not seeing any indication of notability of this list. It is merely a collection of tracks recorded by the band. Till 11:09, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Smh... Keep per Category:Lists of songs by authors or performers. I'd hope that this article is a list of the group's singles and album tracks; that's what this sort of list is for. If you'd like to get rid of a couple, please nominate them all, if not, then don't bother. Zac   13:45, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Category:Lists of songs by authors or performers and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS are not policies or guidelines and thus not valid reasons for keeping the article. Till 14:33, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You don't even have a legitimate reason to delete the article, so... You can't nominate two song list articles without nominating all of them, as per your logic, they should all be deleted; there's nothing different about them. They are all list of songs. Zac   21:35, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Asking for "notability of this list" is off-base as the subject is not a list; the list is merely a presentation format. So that's not a coherent way of analyzing this list. There do seem to be a lot of lists of other notable artists' songs; dismissing that as a mere OTHERSTUFF observation is a rather facile way to approach the question of when it is and isn't appropriate (from WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS: "Another contributor may respond simply by saying that just because other stuff exists does not mean that the article in question should be kept. While perhaps a legitimate response, the automatic dismissal of such a statement is just as lacking in rationale and thus the second user has provided no reason to delete the article."). General practice regarding the same kind of content is a relevant though not absolute consideration, particularly where the deletion nom is in some way applicable to all of that content ("merely a collection of tracks recorded by the band"). postdlf (talk) 18:26, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. However poor an article/list this is, there is room for improvement, For any artist with a number of albums issued, nominations for awards and awards for songs, a list article provides useful adjunct to the discography and main article page. If the nominator feels there is a problem with Lists of songs, then a discussion at the relevant projects, or a group AfD nomination may well be more appropriate. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:25, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep No actual policy cited by the nom. This list contains notable entries, meeting the stand-alone list requirements. It needs improvement, yes, but not deletion.  Lugnuts  And the horse 08:37, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
