List of hip hop collaborations

I'm a little concerned about having this list. A list such as this would be nearly impossible to maintain, the previous AfD here was no consensus, and I dont see the value of having a list of every single collaboration. The fact that a cleanup tag's been on it forever, it's not really referenced or verifiable, and the fat that it has little encyclopedia value doesn't help either.

Comment Isn't it rarer to find a hip-hop song that doesn't have guest rappers on it....? ChrisTheDude 12:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A list of this kind is not encyclopedic. Reywas92^Talk 12:38, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete Not encyclopedic, not verifiable, original research, and utterly impossible to maintain. A quick regex on my library reveals over 13,000 collabos. east.718 13:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This list is bound to run to hundreds if not thousands of items every year. Notable artists can have their collaborations listed in their individual articles. This is not a suitable Wikipedia article. Clconway 16:37, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but trim and improve. The points made in the nomination are good, but can be dealt with if we keep the list to a reasonable size and don't include every single collaboration. How? Cut back to only songs that are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia articles, and that are particularly notable because they are collaborations. Λυδαcιτγ 03:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To give all those who have voted Delete an idea of what the size of this list should be, I've trimmed the # and A sections down to only those songs with their own articles, leaving 5 entries. Almost all of the songs which are currently redlinked would be removed, along with many of the bluelinks that link to articles not about those songs. I'd estimate the list will be cut in four when this process is finished. Really, this is not an unmaintainable size. Λυδαcιτγ 02:19, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete agree. Today, everything in hip-hop is a collaboration. Bulldog123 07:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The songs have nothing in common except the fact that several artists worked together on them, making the article a list of loosely associated topics. Also impossible to maintain and of no encyclopedic use. Pax:Vobiscum 08:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
