List of songs whose genre occurs in the title
As with all the other lists nominated, this is listcruft. Fails WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. Content has no encyclopedic value. Delete Zunaid 09:35, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Well defined, good source for research on topic. -- JJay 09:39, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I ain't voting on these no more, but can someone please enlighten me why any of this would ever be used for research? Are there actually any disciplines out there that study correlations of titles of songs, albums, bands and artists? To me these seems like by-products of some obsessive desire to compile lists, i.e. these lists are not the means to some higher goal but the goal itself. Flyboy Will 10:01, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * You obviously never listen to Triple J, who run weekly segments on topics such as this. If we had Wikipedia with a list full of this, we could call up and win the weekly prize - EVERY WEEK!  Woot!  Where you have to call up and give the best song that fits a particular criteria.  In fact, come to think of it, most radio stations have competitions like this.  This way we could research it rather than just make wild guesses. Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 18:02, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * So this and other oddball lists should be kept on the off chance that an Australian radio station might use its criteria for a contest? Aside from the moral issue (isn't it cheating?), what is the value of that? --Calton | Talk 07:57, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete as per nominator - fails WP:NOT. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 10:04, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, content is not encyclopedic. - Mgm|(talk) 11:12, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The content is not encyclopaedic and takes a few lexical liberties in trying to squeeze every possible genre reference out of a song title. (If we must keep it though, then shouldn't be redirected to ''List of songs of which the genre appears in the title"?) Peeper 11:32, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and rewrite in the same format as List of songs with the same name as song artists. Has potential. Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 15:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * deleteThis will become a list of every rock song with rock in the title. Obina 17:41, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, great more listcruft to eliminate.Gateman1997 17:58, 21 December 2005 (UTC)


 * This will become more unwieldy than even the article on eponymous songs that is also up for deletion. Unlike the latter, I don't see a way of modifying the boundaries to rein in the entries to a manageable size (after all, there are way too many charted country songs with the word "country" in their title, ditto "disco," "jazz," "rap," "jazz," "pop," "soul," and -- most importantly -- "blues."  I like the idea, bit it won't work here... Delete.  B.Wind 19:11, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, wikipedia users should be able to find examples of songs about genres of music. Kappa 19:59, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: But that's not what this list is about. That would require an article on List of songs about song genres. We Will Rock You is not about rock, it is rock, for instance; so this list is useless for the purpose you suggest. Just a thought. Peeper 20:59, 21 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep as per the other lists Jcuk 21:28, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, no encyclopedic value. Pavel Vozenilek 03:20, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yet another pointless taxonomic scheme. --Calton | Talk 07:57, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, worthless crap listcruft Proto t c 14:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete listcruft. Nobody will ever want to look this up. It's also unmaintainable and risks POV issues due to labelling of genres. Stifle 01:35, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
