Fails WP:NLIST. Note that WP:NOTDATABASE applies. Few, if any, tracks pass WP:NMUSIC. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 23:18, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Similar rationale to the last time. These songs have been copied sites similar discogs and shops selling the product. Fails WP:NLIST, WP:SIGCOV. No effective sources.
Keep - the listing is nowhere an "indiscriminate collection of information". Could only be relevant if WP decided that no list of recorded songs could have a place here. Similar articles do exist with even poorer sourcing. Otherwise it just needs expansion and proper sourcing, not deletion. Most of the films already have enough references and the songs may be traced upon searching on the web. Abbasulu (talk) 11:24, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The community consensus is generally that these song lists shouldn't exist in instances when none, or almost none, of the songs have their own article. Lists like this don't provide much context to the reader, it's just a random list of names without much meaning to them. Also, a vast majority of the entries are unsourced, which I've already explained to you is a non-negotiable problem on Wikipedia. Sergecross73 msg me 16:34, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the page needs sourcing, not deletion. Even if every song is not necessarily notable in and of itself, the entire list and I'm sure sources are available to prove it. WP:NOTDATABASE does not apply, IMO. Shahid • ^Talk2me 01:11, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:NLIST, WP:SIGCOV, and WP:VERIFY.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:16, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Vani Jairam. Fails WP:NLIST per nom. Part of the list can be covered there. SBKSPP (talk) 01:25, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Aside from the obvious WP:NLIST notability issues, this list also runs afoul of the "Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations" provision of WP:NOTCATALOG. SnowRise ^{let's rap} 15:59, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I knew, re cross-cat that it existed, but not what it was called. Illuminating point. scope_creep^Talk 17:59, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:38, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - just an exhaustive listing of non-notable songs that has no benefit to the reader. I also echo the WP:CROSSCAT and WP:V concerns raised above. I can't see how anyone can advocate keeping this article after reading these policies. Policies, of course, are of more importance than guidelines.
