Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs whose title appears more than ten times in the lyrics

List of songs whose title appears more than ten times in the lyrics was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was unanimously to delete. However, a similar page List of songs whose title appears more than twenty times in the lyrics is kept because several parties thought it was a sufficient cut-off to be notable, and furthermore it was never formally listed.

Don't get me wrong, I love these sorts of list pages. However, at the same time I recognise that this is supposed to be an encyclopaedia, and I'm failing to see why we need both this and List of songs whose title appears more than twenty times in the lyrics; thus I propose the deletion of the lesser of these articles.

 * I say delete both of them. Lists like this that have no real utility make Wikipedia look silly. Everyking 15:13, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete. A useless list. Note that we can't vote to delete other articles unless they're incorporated properly into this VfD (that is, get the VfD tag, and are listed here in the section header) --Improv 15:39, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think both of them are stupid, but this is the one listed here, so let's get rid of this one. [[User:Mo0|Mo0 [ talk ] ]] 19:20, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Useless, joke. Wile E. Heresiarch 20:34, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Since the information was probably obtained laboriously, and since it is not obvious where else one could go to get it, I'm mildly sympathetic toward keeping it. It is certainly silly to have two lists. And a song whose title appears more than twenty times in the lyrics is also a song whose title appears more than ten times in the lyrics. So it seems to me that that the content of the twenty list should be merged into the content of the ten list and the twenty list, not this one, should be deleted. But I'm not going to lift a finger to merge the information, or list the twenty article on VfD, or anything like that. Let's just delete this one. When/if this gets deleted, the contributor could always add the information to the twenty list and then move it to List of songs whose title appears more than ten times in the lyrics.

 * That was kind of my idea too, but as Siroxo points out; ten is a bit too low a cutoff, otherwise I'd have done a merge myself. Kinitawowi 10:43, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)


 * Delete, 10 is really too low of a cutoff to merit special mention, I can't see any encyclopedic value to this list. &mdash; siro  &chi;  o  22:41, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete. But...does anyone think it might merit inclusion with the "Bad Jokes"?
 * I think we'll have to wait for List of songs without a title for that. JRM 00:22, 2004 Nov 9 (UTC)
