List of songs with historical references

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete - another song list, another indiscriminate directory of loosely associated topics. Draws songs from across multiple genres and styles that have nothing in common past happening to refer to some historical event or another. Otto4711 13:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete, appears to be an indiscriminate list that aside from being unsourced also looks quite unmaintainable to me (at least in the long run). --S up? 19:34, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Gotta join the boo-birds on this one, and give this a D- in history. The only songs on the list that refer to "historical" events appear to be "American Pie", "We Didn't Start the Fire" and "Sympathy for the Devil".  A song like "One Week" or "It's the End of the World as We Know It" doesn't count.  I guess I never realized that "Waterloo" mentions Napoleon in its first line... never liked ABBA anyway.  There's probably a good list of biographical songs (unless someone has euthanized it) that would be more appropriate, like "Goodbye Norma Jean", "Starry Starry Night", "American Pie", "The King is Gone", etc. Mandsford 23:11, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. The concept here is too broad to be useful.  Individual topics might be notable (e.g. if someone were to create songs of the Great Depression, they would have my support), but there is nothing useful to be found in keeping this one. -MrFizyx 18:27, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
