List of songs that combine unique elements from 2 (or more) songs
A page which will always be vastly incompletely. This list could theoretically include thousands of hip-hop songs alone, including the entire track listings for at least a hundred albums. This runs against the consensus established in the recent concluded "lists of songs" Centralized Discussion, which advises against lists that could include more than a couple hundred entries. Verifiability is also a factor. Andrew Levine 05:34, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as subjective and unverifiable. Sad to say, the Lists of songs discussion referred to above resulted in no consensus. &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 06:34, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are way too many songs that are a combination of multiple songs. This list can never be complete or useful. (Notorious4life 06:36, 23 November 2005 (UTC))
 * Delete as a poster-child of the "Idiosyncratic Non-Topic" mentioned in the deletion policy. Incidentally, I hadn't thought that centralized discussion had generated a solid consensus, just because of the (relatively) low number of people involved.

 * Delete as per nom, screw those lists of songs... Gerrit CUTEDH 10:57, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete incomprehensible list --TimPope 21:07, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the worst kind of listcruft. Original research, unverifiable in places, subjective. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 22:17, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: On the subject of lists with thousands of potnetial entries, what say we regarding list of Adolf Hitler books? - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 23:02, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I think it's easier to maintain a consensus on what constitutes a selection of notable books fitting a certain criteria than a selection of notable songs fitting a certain criteria. The song lists will tend to grow out of control faster than the book lists. Andrew Levine 01:23, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Further to your comment on List of Adolf Hitler books, most articles at the Wiki have a "Further Reading" section including Adolf Hitler, which was becoming long. I am in the process of preparing an organized and manageable list, which will hopefully become an Annotated Bibliography over time. This is a professional and responsible approach, that will help researchers and the general public in future years that are interested in the person that has influenced the 20th century perhaps more than any other. In addition, there are many "Lists of Books" List of lists of books or Category:Lists of books that are much larger or have the potential to become much larger.  I think the Hitler book list is within the Wiki parametres for lists. Cordially WritersCramp 18:56, 25 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete- Song listcruft is the worst thing on Wikipedia at the moment. Reyk 23:07, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. When the article title doesn't even make sense, you know you're in trouble. 23skidoo 05:04, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, although I will point out to the nom that most hip hop songs are specifically excluded due to the criteria on the page. Reyk, if this is the worst thing on Wikipedia at the moment, we're in really good shape! :) Turnstep 20:15, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
