List of songs about famous people (other than politicians)[edit]

Err, what's so bad about politicians? The exclusion makes the list somewhat random IMO, and therefore kinda pointless. Conti|✉ 17:39, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, rename to list of songs about famous people and treat list of songs about politicians as a sub-list. Kappa 17:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep and rename per Kappa. I'm a little uncertain about the verifiability of the list, both now and in the future, but will defer to the judgement of the primary contributors to this article. Would also suggest dividing into sections (either by famous person if there are enough hits, or by famous person type... i.e. musicians, actors) -- Saberwyn 21:10, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, vague name, no encyclopedical value, cruft. Pavel Vozenilek 01:13, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename: There is plenty of interest in this article and the name would not be inherently POV if renamed. I am also baffled why politicians should be excluded. Gilliamjf 07:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- See the relative size and detailed organisation at List of songs about politicians. -- Saberwyn 11:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, rename, and organize: This is a useful article, I think it would be better if it was sorted by the person the song was about rather then the song title. Excluding politicians is a good idea, and maybe spliting it up by type would be good, and then just have a header for politician with a link to the other article would be good. I am willing to volenteer to do it. Nekura 23:31, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, rename, and organize: As said above, a fine article to have next to List of songs which refer to Jesus and list of songs about politicians JohnRussell 18:40, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
