Regardless of what might be able to be said about an actual list of songs about animals, this list, by its own criteria in the lede, is a List of songs that mention an animal in their titles. Lists of songs by words in their title have generally been considered trivial and/or indiscriminate. Serpent's Choice 04:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep and trim to just songs that are actually about animals. A list of "songs with (insert word here) in the title" is usually indiscriminate, but I could see songs actually about animals as being at least vaguely encyclopedic.

- Delete I admire Ten Pound Hammer's optimism, but it's not worth the bother. Just delete per WP:NOT#INFO. YechielMan 16:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- That's why I went with a weak keep. I could see some entries being disputed (for instance, is "Feed Jake" by Pirates of the Mississippi truly about a dog, if that dog is only mentioned in passing in the chorus, and the verses have virtually nothing to do with the chorus?), but I still don't feel a need to change my vote.

- Delete songs about... have inherent problems of lack of precision and, in part because of that, don't really have encyclopedic value. Carlossuarez46 18:39, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete What possible interest could this hold for the reader? Pure listcruft. Adrian M. H. 21:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
