List of songs with numbers in the title

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A pretty bad WP:NOT/WP:NOT list. Bulldog123 14:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as indiscriminate info, although I think the table of contents is my favorite of any article I've seen. Propaniac 14:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't think it falls under WP:NOT as an indiscriminate list because it has clear parameters, however I do believe it is under WP:NOT as a loosely-associated list.  It'd also be hard to maintain and probably never finished (I can think of several that are missing off the top of my head).  Useight 15:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a directory of loosely associated topics. Note that a list specifically for songs with phone numbers in the title was deleted, so this even more general numbers list should definitely go. The list tells us nothing about the songs past a coincidence of title and Songs with numbers in the title is not an encyclopedic topic. Otto4711 15:38, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Useight and Otto4711. This is an indiscriminate list.  Having a number in the title of a song isn't an unusual event (e.g. Take Five).  (On the other hand, the time signature is unusual enough and qualifies it for listing on List of musical works in 5/4 or 5/8 time.)  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 16:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * By the way, what about Chicago's song 25 or 6 to 4? Should it be listed in the "4" section, the "6" section, or the "25" section?  Maybe it should be in a new list, List of songs with multiple non-consecutive numbers in the title.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 04:12, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Oh, good grief! How about "List of songs with words in the title"? This is about as indiscriminate as one can be for a list. Realkyhick 17:45, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I honestly am having a hard time thinking of a more trivial criterion for inclusion. The last AfD was an absolute disgrace.  --Haemo 18:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete -- The previous afd was in 2005, WP:ILIKEIT was a good enough reason for something to be kept on afd. Saikokira 19:51, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per above and per WP:IINFO. Totally indiscriminate list -- who cares that a song has a number in its title? Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 22:16, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment -- A list with this title was deleted in 2006 at Articles for deletion/List of songs with numbers in the title (second nomination), so in fact this afd should be titled Articles for deletion/List of songs with numbers in the title (3rd nomination). Technically it can't be speedy deleted as a repost though because it's a different list with the same title. Saikokira 22:33, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as woefully incomplete list of loosely-associated songs which could never, and should never, be completed. Iain99 07:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Given Saikokira's info, perhaps a block on recreation? Carlossuarez46 21:41, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
