List of sampled songs[edit]

Tagging for the nominator the following articles:

I prodded this article, the template was removed so now I list it here. This article (with subpages for every letter) lists sampled songs. In my opinion this is in contradiction with WP:NOT#IINFO, indiscriminate collection of information. Besides, as the article says, Obviously, this list is by no means exhaustive or complete. And there are no references, apart from two listst with similar content.

Keep -please keep the lists. i love going thru it and seeing the songs that have inspired others to make music.its interesting to me atleast.i have spent hours listening to these songs to see the samples and i like figuring out how they did it.again please keep the list.this information doesnt exist anywhere else.oh and in case you do delete please let me have a copy of it =(

Comment I agree there is a problem with this list, but I think you still have to note the deletion on all the sub-pages. FrozenPurpleCube 16:49, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could anyone with AWB be so nice and do this instead...please...? Thanks in advance. --Tone 16:50, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I've been wanting to nominate these lists for deletion myself for a while now. They are indiscriminate lists, directories of loosely-associated topics. The lists reach across every style, genre and thematic structure of music to bring together any song that has nothing in common with any other song beyond someone went in and copied a beat or a musical phrase from another song. These lists tell us nothing about the sampled songs, the songs that include samples, the history, process or technique of sampling or music in general. Otto4711 17:22, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep <sigh>. Valuable information to those who seek it. <K F> 17:47, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - how valuable the information might or might not be (besides being largely if not completely subjective) does not answer the policy concerns the article raises. Otto4711 18:26, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as above (Otto4711). JJL 17:49, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as Otto says it exactly. Also, "Valuable information to those who seek it." is a tad weak (similar to WP:USEFUL). Kwsn^(Ni!) 19:16, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - might as well list every song recorded in the last five years. Rgds, --Trident13 20:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Ye flippin' Gods, major WP:LIST issues. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 21:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Otto7411. Exactly. --Charlene 01:30, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The list has always been messy from the start and seeing as it fails WP:NOT#INFO, it just needs to be deleted. No actual resources either. Douglasr007 03:04, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - very, very trivial inclusion criterion. Might as well make a list of "all songs played in clubs". --Haemo 03:42, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A song list(s) that violates WP:NOT#IINFO? What are the chances of that? Masaruemoto 04:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not appropriate for Wikipedia. Cedars 05:47, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
