Rare Songs (Ashley Parker Angel)

Like Rare Songs (Katy Perry), this fails WP:NOT. Not an artist who requires such a list. Not sure how one would know whether a song is "unheard" or not. - eo (talk) 00:27, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Delete Aside from falling under a few WP:NOT categories, "rare" is almost certainly destined to be someone's POV. Cheers, CP 00:37, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: Songs have to be well done before they're ready.  As it is, this is POV and silly, as a song is never rare.  A record may be hard to find.  It may have a limited run.  It cannot be "rare."  Utgard Loki (talk) 14:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per my comments on the Katy Perry article. Artist has not established sufficient notability or longevity to justify such a listing at this time. 23skidoo (talk) 23:14, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Move The content of this page belongs on the Ashley Parker Angel page. If you have a problem with the artist not establishing sufficient notability or longevity then I suggest you make your case on that articles discussion page.  Bubblesort (talk) 21:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep A record can, in fact, be considered "rare". See Princeton's Wordnet for definitions of "rarity".  Don't you beleive that any real object can fit the criteria of any of the three definitions there, including records?  Bubblesort (talk) 21:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This article cites it's source for this information as ASCAP, which is, in fact, a well recognized union of songwriters and composers. The list checks out.  ASCAP lists these songs as having no performers or publishers, which means that, as the page suggests, these songs are "Unreleased/Unheard".  I don't think that a recording that does not exist can be described as having "noteworthy scarcity", as Wordnet would define "rarity" as being.  Scarcity implies existence, and if the track is unrecorded then it does not exist.  The composition exists, though.  Perhaps we should change the title of that part of the page to "Unrecorded Compositions" or perhaps "Unperformed Compositions"? Bubblesort (talk) 21:26, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per above. It definitely doesn't need its own article as it can be merged in her main article's discography. Many notable musicians have unreleased or "rare" songs; imagine how unnecessary it would be for every musician to have a separate article listing these songs.
