List of plagiarism songs

surely it cannot be a good idea to have a potentially libellous page of essentially unsourced allegations? Nunh-huh 06:06, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

anyone can check the information and make his own decision how to react. Dpakoha 06:58, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/Cite I'd argue that yes, we need outside sources on this page -- I bet some of these are heated disputes, and it's possible that it could become a revert war issue. Additionally, if there is no real plagarism, just accidental evolution of similar sounds, we would be misleading people. Janet13 07:27, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- There is not a political issue for revert wars, also feel free to add some entries, like common source for similar sounds. I checked of about 10% of this information and can guarantee this is not simple coincidence. Also I think author of this information knows about that (s)he talks about.

- fine, but sourcews must be provided on the page, and unsourced info removed propmptly. It is nice that the creator allegedly know what s/he is talking about, but sources must be provided to document this for the rest of us. DES ^(talk) 16:49, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
One question is: Why you thinks of plagiarisms is bad? In the post-modernist paradigm it used only for checking for source of information. And information about plagiarisms don't ceased to exist, but in this case it will comfortable to use wikipedia for working with this information. Dpakoha 09:27, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I thinks of plagiarisms is bad because it means "to steal and pass off another's ideas or words as one's own, or to commit literary theft: to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source" (MW 11th Collegiate, with my emphasis). Accusing someone of theft and stealing when you can't prove it: a bad thing. - Nunh-huh 18:15, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - unsourced, a potential POV nightmare, unmaintainable, and on top of all that some of the notes aren't even in English. Also "plagiarism songs" isn't a real term - should be "plagarized songs". 23skidoo 15:07, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for all the above reasons. Good to know it's not libellous, though - or at least it says it isn't, which should be enough to satisfy any lawyer, eh? - Just zis Guy, you know? 15:33, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Cite. A note should be provided for each entry, citign that at least a claim of plagerism has been made in each case. Any unsourced entries should be deleted promptly. Also the page should be renamed to "list of plagarized songs" or "list of songs involved in plagarism claims". If at least a stsrt on providing source notes is not made promptly, with a comitment to followup, then Delete. DES ^(talk) 16:47, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as unmaintainable, inherently POV list. And, didn't we already delete this one? I remember making the same argument sometime in the last month or two, but I can't find the VfD/AfD; article had a slightly different title. Can anyone find it? MCB 23:09, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless citations appear ASAP. --Jacqui ^★ 23:15, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless citations appear and the commentary is translated from German to English. --Metropolitan90 02:32, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
While I would like to keep this article, I think if there was ever a time when citations were in order, it is here. I can see the potential for some fairly rancorous debate and heated edit wars if no legitimate sourcing is done. Delete if said sources are not given. Denni ☯ 03:17, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above Honbicot 22:53, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above. Presumably this AFD debate also covers these lists
- Check the #List of plagarized songs 0-C for changes had done. Dpakoha 12:39, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
