List of songs that contain the laughter of children
Just.. no. --Conti|&#9993; 16:24, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete, before I start considering why someone would want to know this --Asriel86 16:37, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep interesting list, could be expanded. Grue 16:38, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Interesting list, valid as trivia. --GF 16:52, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * This is the user's first edit here. --Conti|&#9993; 17:01, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * No, it's not. I have good reason for not using my real account. This is not a true sock puppet account in that it constitutes my one and only vote. The other two are not me. --GF 22:05, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Could you elaborate, in general terms at least? --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 00:21, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-encyclopaedic. Fawcett5 16:53, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: equally as valid as List of songs about masturbation, etc. -- mrry 16:55, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * This is the user's first edit here. --Conti|&#9993; 17:01, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: don't see any harm in it, interesting to know -- MattGemmell 16:59, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete not a subject worthy of a list. DDerby 17:29, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not useful information. Eric119 17:30, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Interesting list. Why not? Dave the Red (talk) 18:57, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment if it were up to me, most of these trivial song lists would get the boot. They are sometimes mildly interesting, but I cannot imagine a need for them except to pad a really boring research paper. --Asriel86 19:16, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep--that said, I strongly discourage the use of sockpuppet accounts and/or vote spamming. Meelar (talk) 19:17, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, trivial, notability not established. Megan1967 19:59, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable. Hedley 20:34, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a notable genre of song. P Ingerson 20:35, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yes, I even added a song to the list, but it's so thematically unconfined that I don't think it's wikipedic. Unlike the lists of songs about bipolar disorder, unrequited love, and masturbation, this is not about the theme of the song, but about some gimmick that it contains... which does not reflect anything about, say, the nature of our society as a whole, which the other lists do. -- 8^D gab 20:38, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC)
 * Delete per Asriel86. --Angr/comhrá 20:51, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. List of songs that contain Foo will quickly spiral out of control and consume us all. Does anyone really need to know the eight songs that contain the sound of cows lowing as the sun crests the eastern horizon? Feco 20:55, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete with prejudice and move to BJAODN. &mdash; Asbestos | Talk  22:17, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Acceptable level of sock puppet keep votes has been surpassed.  RickK 23:19, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Trivia. --Carnildo 23:50, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Interesting List Klonimus 01:47, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Feco. Radiant_* 09:47, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Further to my vote and after a little consideration, I can understand why this might be considered to niche and/or creepy. Might I suggest broadening the list to something like "list of songs containing children in the backing track"? Less creepy, less niche, more useful.--GF 22:05, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Beyond the sub-trivial, somewhere between "list of comedy sketches not containing the letter 'e'" and "list of kebab shops with no known cases of food poisoning". Chris 00:31, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Although List of kebab shops with known cases of food poisoning would be highly useful. :)  RickK 21:42, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * delete Mozzerati 21:02, 2005 Apr 10 (UTC)
 * Delete There should be policy against such nonsenses. Pavel Vozenilek 00:52, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. --Myles Long 20:16, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
