List of songs by Alvin and the Chipmunks[edit]

Surely this list (which would proably be about 90% covers once it's done) is not Wikipeida material. Delete, no merge.--FuriousFreddy 00:19, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

keep. Surely it better fits wikipedia than lists of pornostars. mikka (t) 00:24, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete any notable songs can be mentioned in their article such as singles. Capitalistroadster 00:38, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per Capitalistroadster, information about this group's songs belongs in the main article Alvin and the Chipmunks. --Metropolitan90 02:11, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Alvin and the Chipmunks article. This is why there is a Discography category. Jtmichcock 02:16, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Chipmunks are more notable that 99% of the bands included in Wikipedia. —Brim 07:07, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Duplicate article. --Carnildo 22:50, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not duplicated. You seem to be confusind discography, which is list of discs, with the list of songs, which would unnecessarily inflate the article. mikka (t) 23:03, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong with you guys? There are separate articles for single albums! This is a whole single list for them all. mikka (t) 23:29, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing wrong with a discography of albums and singles. But a list of songs for a ficticious band that's released records since the late 1950s? Once completed, the article would be ungodly long and wouldn't serve any use to anyone. Of what worth is a long list of songs the Chipmunks have covered without information on what albums or television show episodes they come from? --FuriousFreddy 01:49, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Response. There IS a list of songs in the Alvin and the Chipmunks article. If the song list is not complete, add them in. Don’t make the reader go to a separate page to see the list of songs. Put them in the main article. It’s not that big. ♠DanMS 01:11, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The list in the main article is a list of songs released as singles, not of songs in general. --FuriousFreddy 01:49, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm voting against a merge, because it's going to wind up being a long, long list of cover songs; the Chipmunks have very easily recorded thousands of songs over the last forty-eight years. It would be better for editors interested in writing up the Chipmunks' discography to write articles for their albums with tracklistings, not a long list of songs (and not even a big long list of album tracklistings, either). --FuriousFreddy 01:49, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. When/if it becomes too large for the main A&tC page, recreate it. Turnstep 02:28, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
