Fails WP:NLIST. Note that WP:NOTDATABASE applies. Few, if any, tracks pass WP:NMUSIC. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 23:16, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - perfectly notable as a list, nowhere an "indiscriminate collection of information". Could only be relevant if WP decided that no list of recorded songs could have a place here. Otherwise it just needs expansion, not deletion. Shahid • ^Talk2me 12:19, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - the article should be improved, not deleted. Each song cannot have reference but was already mentioned in the related main film/album article...Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 16:26, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If content cannot be referenced, then it must be removed. Per WP:V All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists, and captions, must be verifiable. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 23:52, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with @Jayanthkumar123. But I also think it can be easily referenced, and that's what needs to be done. I also cannot undersrand why so many articles belonging to the same group are put up for separate AfDs if even the rationale is the same across the board.

Comment - and here too we see the same pattern by the nominator. This page is nominated, and while its sub-pages could have easily been included here, they are nominated separately:

List of Tamil songs recorded by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam
List of Malayalam songs recorded by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam
List of Telugu songs recorded by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam

This is a frustratingly messy string. Shahid • ^Talk2me 15:06, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or at best, draftify. Currently fails WP:VERIFY, and I would agree that NLIST is not satisfied either.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:31, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to S. P. Balasubrahmanyam. Fails WP:NLIST per nom. Part of the list can be covered there. SBKSPP (talk) 01:22, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: I realized the same editor was making the databases. They fail WP:NLIST. Sometimes Shahid people complain about mass AFD's, but not usually over the independent listings. I will withdraw my "Delete" if there is mention of the lists in reliable and independent sources based on the group, as a group or set, then there would be cause to show notability.

Keep - well referenced, that proves its notability. Valiaveetil (talk) 07:57, 5 February 2023 (UTC) WP:SOCK Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:42, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments concerning " well referenced". Sources can verify content and not advance notability as provided by NLIST. The article can be "richly referenced", with all manner of sources, some maybe even indirectly related, but If these sources don't satisfy WP:NLIST: Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list., The sources will suffice for content but not satisfying notability. The artist may be phenominal, a legend, a master, and any other flowery word we add (and I personally would agree), that does not make the many lists any more notable. Please Note: Wikipedia:Notability and the included GNG and SNG, uses evidence from reliable and independent sources, per the policy of verifiability. The guideline enjoys a community-wide consensus, currently having involved 833 editors, 2,439 watchers, 11,296 pageviews in the last 30 days. Arguing for inclusion would be better presented in that article with an RFC, to gain community consensus, over I like it, or trying to ignore the "rules" that is still subjected to the more broad community consensus. -- Otr500 (talk) 16:29, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
