Most Irritating Song of all Time

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Apparently a poll that was once held, somewhere, sometime, without any references. List cruft at best, utterly irrelevant at worst.   SIS   22:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Speedied at 22:03, 14 November 2008, recreated 5 minutes later. Reference now added but not particularly notable IMO. Unusual? Quite  TalkQu  22:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - irrelevant per nom. --Oscarthecat (talk) 22:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yes, there is now a reference to The Sun, a "notable" British newspaper but it is a transient throw away straw poll.  For this article to be notable, the poll itself should be notable, not just the newspaper.  That means notability needs to be established with references to sources independant of The Sun.

 * Delete Strikeout Sister I can now see where you are coming from, the page is not really best suited to an encyclopedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ifraser86 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 14 November 2008 (UTC)  — Ifraser86 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * I'm not saying the information is incorrect. I just don't see why this should be included in an encyclopedia.   SIS   23:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to "It's a Small World" Delete One time unofficial poll, not to mention I've never heard any of these songs in full. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:00, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Which is a thing to be glad about, I guess.   SIS   23:33, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Another subjective list? No thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 01:57, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No notable and subjetive. The most irritating article of all time? Zero Kitsune (talk) 02:41, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Using the number of genuine AFD nominations as a measure of how irritated people were by an article, this article falls far short of that accolade. Uncle G (talk) 16:17, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Macarena (song) Delete subjective. Looks like snow, but I had to get my dig in. ^_^ JuJube (talk) 11:24, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - seems like a thinly veiled and thoroughly justified attack on James Blunt, Esquire. Failing significant independent coverage of the topic in reliable sources, this ought to be deleted. the skomorokh  20:46, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Most Irritating Listcruft of all Time (aka delete) . McWomble (talk) 04:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - it's not listcruft because it's not a list (although the article includes the results in question, in list format). It's the name of the actual poll. Tris2000 (talk) 17:28, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: Just some poll. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 17:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep: If anything, because of notability. The poll got wide publicity across the world, including India and South Africa. Just type it in Google. Tris2000 (talk) 15:54, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * A lot of those articles seem to be from blogs, tabloid newspapers and other questionable sources, and the coverage therein is not significant with respect to the poll itself. Check out WP:GNG and WP:RS for the sorts of publicity necessary. Thanks for your research so far, the skomorokh  17:04, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
