List of songs written by Tina Turner

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The Category:Lists of songs by songwriters is not greatly populated, so I don't know what criteria is required for an musician/songwriter to need such a list. Turner has written only a handful of songs (relatively speaking), mainly for songs she sang herself, is not known as a prolific songwriter along the lines of Babyface or Holland, Dozier, Holland. I guess the question is should such lists be allowed to be created for any songwriter, and it's just up to authors to create them to more fully populate the parent category or should a line be drawn somewhere?

 * Keep - most of these articles are at Category:Production discographies, and as far as I understand it, there's nothing stopping any musician from having a songwriting list, as long as the subject is notable, there's enough content, and the parent article is long enough that the info wouldn't be better suited as just a subsection. --Prosperosity (talk) 04:13, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - the fact that she is mostly known as a singer, and not a songwriter, doesn't make the list less valid. It's a list that is long enough to be notable in itself. Alecsdaniel (talk) 12:38, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: The list has a paragraph at the top with sources explaining why Tina Turner's songwriting career is notable. That's a lot more than what most list pages have. :) — Toughpigs (talk) 23:33, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * KEEP You can't destroy a list because you like categories better, there actually a rule for that. Enough of these songs have their own article to justify a list of them.   D r e a m Focus  00:48, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - I don't see any guideline suggesting that this list should not be on Wikipedia. Rlendog (talk) 15:49, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
