This is the article's third nomination with the first resulting in no consensus and second as keep within a bundle nomination (see 2nd nom). I'm not sure of the need of compiling all songs from every album in the series into a single list like this by overly emphasizes the original artists, who have nothing to do with these albums. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 00:21, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Appropriate method of listing songs. Really no different from having "List of [name of artist] songs," clearly meets WP:SALAT and is easily verifiable. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 01:32, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Except that these aren't of songs by an artist, these are a list of songs covered by an artist (if a group of kids that change on almost every album can be a called an artist). --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 01:52, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know. It's kind of stretching the definition, but thematically it's really no different than a songs-by-artist list. I think precedent will make this one a keeper, as well as the ease of finding sources.

Keep Roughly equivalent to a list of songs by an artist, and frankly nominator's reasoning for deletion is rather unclear, especially considering this was kept twice before. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:59, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think that this will eventually become a sortable table, and it was a good solution to the problem that was posed in the [2nd nomination]. The problem that we had before was the false suggestion that the original artists were being heard on the albums, but that was later fixed. However, I can see where the artist information is useful in showing the artists that pass the image test for the record producers who are marketing to children and their parents (what, no Eminem?).

Keep The deletion nomination offers absolutely no argument that the best solution to the article's perceived shortcomings is deletion. Townlake (talk) 15:54, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
