The 100 Greatest Songs of the 80s

This discussion concerns 9 articles of the same nature, the one above and the 8 listed below.

A list copied from VH1 without asserting the significance of this particular 5-day countdown. –Pomte 20:54, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete trivia. Who will remember about this arbitrarily compiled list tomorrow? --Ghirla^-трёп- 20:59, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
DELETE ALL as copyvio. Ford MF 21:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Wasn't sure this consitutes copyvio, as I recall similar lists at AfD. I'm proposing the following lists for deletion as well.

Things like timelines of events aren't copyvio because you can't copyright facts or the order in which they occur. But stuff like this, i.e. content generated and hosted by MTV/VH1, with the little copyright symbol at the bottom of the page, most certainly is. Ford MF 09:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

With only 5 episodes to each, and not much to say about them, I don't think the lists are worthy of inclusion. The gist of the "Greatest" series can be sufficiently covered in VH1#The Greatest series. –Pomte 22:23, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 02:16, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete copyvio. Doczilla 05:18, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all and merge to suggested article; not notable, in and of themselves. --Haemo 05:37, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete random trivia. Biruitorul 06:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These two should be the last ones. –Pomte 07:46, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete, articles were copied from another website. *Cremepuff 222* 19:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, speedy if copyvio, although articles of these types show up from time to time, no one at WikiMedia has definitively andwered the question of whether these are copyvios. Regardless, they aren't encyclopedic. Carlossuarez46 20:41, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no evidence that the show was notable. JJL 23:49, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Aside from copyright violations, there have been tons of "Best" lists for songs, and it's all POV nonsense that doesn't belong on an encyclopedia. No way should this one take precedence for eighties music when they name a Bon Jovi song as number one. Like, duh! < / eighties > María (habla conmigo) 17:11, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
