Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs where nonsense words constitute the entire lyrics

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was KEEP. I think the differences between the various rename suggestions (including straight retention) are fairly moot, so I won't move it. You can take it WP:RM or just be bold. -Splash 00:03, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

List of songs in which the lyrics are exclusively nonsensical words
Really, how many of these could there possibly be? Al 13:11, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. This would be a great list... if there were actually any songs to put on it.  I would suggest that the page be kept if someone can find some songs to list, or deleted if nobody contributes any songs before this vote finishes.  --Quintin3265 13:15, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Further suggestion. Why not rename this list List of songs where nonsense words comprise a significant portion of the entire lyrics if it is kept to address Proto's concerns?  Or would there be too many songs to list?  --Quintin3265 15:09, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * List of songs which incorporate nonsense lyrics would be a better name. But I still don't like lists.  Grr to lists. Proto t c 15:37, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Change vote to keep and rename. After looking around, I've decided that lists aren't that bad.  List of sex positions, for example, is one of the most visited articles on Wikipedia.  Regardless of the purient interest some people may have in that subject, it's a list that is useful to many people nonetheless.
 * Agree with Quintin3265. I remember a song called Din Daa Daa by George Krantz. The whole lyrics are: "Din daa daa, don doo doo. Pappa rappa pappa rappa." &mdash; J I P | Talk 13:37, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, we already have List of English songs whose title includes nonsense-words, so this list isn't impossible to populate. Keep. --Several Times 13:51, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * keep and expand. Verifiable and interesting, if extremely short at the moment. Brighterorange 14:16, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, useless listcruft. Very, very few songs would get on this list; even Scatman John (sca ba dap be boop ba doo bop diddly bam diddly bam bam biddly bo, or whatever it was) had his choruses in English. Proto t c 14:28, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Additional - if we do keep this (for the love of God I hope not), it should be moved to List of songs entirely comprised of nonsense words as a better name (although still the same awful topic). Proto t c 15:39, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not encyclopedic. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt;  14:41, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Listcruft. android  79  15:09, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I just added a few more songs to the list, and I'm sure others will too if they see this.  This topic is of particular interest to me. Dr Ellipso 16:02, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I can think of two others of the top of my head which I will add after my dinner. - Mgm|(talk) 16:37, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete though I'd comment that more than a few Cocteau Twins tracks would make this list longer. No, I'm not adding any. Tonywalton  | Talk 16:49, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but bring the title to within convention. I'm about to add a song myself. :) - Lucky 6.9 17:00, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I just found Nonsense verse. Maybe this could fit in there somehow.
 * Comment I'm leaving this one to you guys a-wee bop-a boodle, a whum pum doo, (ah') boogie woogie, (ah') bee bop doo. Alf 19:32, 24 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete Un-maintainable list of dubious value. --PhilipO 20:08, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd beg to differ. First someone says there's not enough songs to fill the list, now you say it's unmaintainable. I think an expandable list with (currently) 14 songs isn't anywhere near unmaintainable. - Mgm|(talk) 08:22, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Interesting Artical, more then enough songs to be kept    Guerberj 20:27, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, why shouldn't users be able to find exampls of songs where nonsense words constitute the entire lyrics? Kappa 21:10, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Kappa Trollderella 21:18, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - I've added two more (none of you thought of Mahna-mahna???) and fixed the page layout. There are now 14 songs on the list. Grutness...  wha?  03:09, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
