List of songs with no rhyme in lyrics
Wouldn't this be about half of the songs ever written? I don't see this as encyclopedic, maintainable, or useful. --Xcali 03:03, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, song lyrics almost always seem to rhyme, it would be interesting to have more examples where they don't. Kappa 03:43, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, I can pick a song at random and have a nice chance of it not rhyming, especially if it's not of a typically rhyming genre. I don't know if there's an encyclopedic reason for having the article, either. Could mention this elsewhere, but an article of its own? -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 03:46, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * If there are genres which don't typically rhyme, they should mentioned at the beginning and excluded from the list itself. I'm not convinced about your random song theory, have you tried it? Kappa 05:16, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, good grief, delete. What's next, a "List of songs with rhyme in the lyrics"? This is not encyclopedic information; furthermore, the list would be so ridiculously huge that it'd be absolutely pointless. -- Captain Disdain 04:07, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, one of a large list of "List of songs ..." RickK 05:52, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unmaintainable and useless list. There's also no useful definition of "rhyme" provided: I don't think any of Eminem's songs rhyme, although he clearly intends them to. --Angr/undefined 06:44, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - it already has an impressive three (3) titles, one of which is "Detachable Penis" by King Missile. How come Mr. Missile couldn't think of "hatchback genius"? Eixo 07:09, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete trvial unmaintainable list. JamesBurns 07:57, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, no more trivial than many song lists. Songs always rhyme somewhere in the lyrics, that's the point, so I find a list of those that don't very interesting. sjorford &rarr;&bull;&larr; 08:40, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unmaintainable. - Mgm|(talk) 09:05, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unmaintainable. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 09:51, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, utterly trivial and unmaintainable. &mdash; mark &#9998; 10:46, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Very interesting, and we have tons of song lists, many far more odd or trivial than this. I've expanded it (doubled it, actually). Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  11:27, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, we have lots of these lists and they should all go. They're wildly incomplete and unmaintainable. --W(t) 13:27, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
 * Delete. What is the purpose of all these lists? To organize Wikipedia articles.  This list of songs has only one song with a Wikipedia article. Therefore it is effectively a list of one for purposes of organization. Therefore it fails the primary function of the list, and should be deleted. --Scimitar 15:13, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Isn't that why we have categories? I'm wondering what purpose these lists actually serve.  --Xcali 22:12, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Let me first note that List of songs whose title appears more than twenty times in the lyrics exists without debate and, actually, is rather interesting. It also has a long list of varied contributors, and seems to have been upkept rather well. While the encyclopaedic nature of the list can be questioned, I would say that WINP.  Keep. jglc | t | c 16:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unmaintainable and trivial list. &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 17:41, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unencyclopedic and unmaintainable. Double Blue  (Talk) 17:49, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete: Unencyclopedic even beyond most lists. Bar-bet trivia that can never be complete and only serves the author's demons, not any reader's curiosity.  Geogre 19:21, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I am curious as to whether anyone can find any more of these things. Kappa 23:28, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Listcruft. --Carnildo 20:04, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unmaintainable list, non-encyclopedic. I am also of the opinion that songs, like poetry, needn't rhyme; non-rhyming probably isn't notable. Xoloz 04:12, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * So is this supposed to only include songs in which no two words at all rhyme? That would be a good trick. Anyway, delete, for varoius reasons given above. -R. fiend 05:55, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Unmaintainable, useless, trivial, whathaveyou. An article about rhyme in song lyrics could be very interesting, and it could cite various examples (songs that make no attempt to rhyme, songs that make a joke out of an expected rhyme like that "Shaving cream" one, songs that use words that only rhyme when using certain accents, etc). -Eisnel 06:08, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
