List of songs with more than one music video
I'm hereby submitting for inclusion only a handful of the populace of Category:Dynamic lists of songs. If you wanted to nuke this whole category, I wouldn't shed a tear, but these are some of the worst offenders. Without fail, every list is original research and an indiscriminate collection of information. These are just the most indiscriminate of such lists. I'm nominating them separately so you all can judge for yourselves. Starry Eyes  22:27, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator. Starry  Eyes  22:27, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as I don't see who would care ST47 22:56, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Unlike the other lists, nominated above, this is an eneyclopedic topic. Since music videos often cost a bit to make, there's usually an interesting reason why a second version needed to be made, often due to controversy such as "Opportunities" by Pet Shop Boys and "Post Post Modern Man" by DEVO.

 * Keep, this one is well-defined, maintainable, and mildly interesting. Gazpacho 23:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Gazpacho. Some of the comments on the article's Talk page seem to suggest that it has the potential to end up a terrible mess, but as it currently stands it's quite a handy little thing. BigHaz 23:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Still fairly random, but not nearly as bad as the others.  I could envision someone actually looking for this information. Raggaga 23:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This one actually has useful information. Danny Lilithborne 23:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. --TM 01:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - I have to agree. - Richardcavell 02:23, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Who needs a list of title? It can be included on individual song pages. ReverendG 02:24, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete While some of the info is interesting, there's no reason to have it collected in one place -- no user is going to search on the string "more than one video." Notable info can just go on the song pages if it's not there already. Dybryd 03:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep mostly for Random article value. I agree that no one is going to actually look for this article but it does have encyclopedic value as Starblind noted. It's one of those articles that if you stumble upon, you actually feel like you gleemed a bit of knowledge after reading. Something far less prevelant in alot of our Random Articles. 205.157.110.11 08:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete per nom. TJ Spyke 22:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Seeing this article title, one asks themselves 'why do these songs have two videos?' It's an interesting question. Very few songs do, so whch actually have two? Why? The aritcle should stay to provide, at the very least, a starting point for people who come across a song with two music videos and want to find out more. Evil Eye 17:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The longer a song is out the more likely to meet this criteria.  At some point most songs would be in the list.  Vegaswikian 00:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as a student of film study it comes across to me as a useful list to see how two film makers would interpret the same piece of music. It has artistic merit and is wholly undiscriminate. Mallanox 22:24, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
