List of zombie-themed songs and bands[edit]

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This page is essentially a directory of any song or band which has the word "zombie" (or similar) in the title. However, by itself, that is not necessarily an indication that the song or band is "zombie-themed" (incidentally, how can a band be "zombie-themed"?); it may just be that the band members or song writers thought that having the word "zombie" in the title of their band or song, respectively, would be cool. A substantive treatment of the topic of "zombie-themed songs and bands" belongs in Zombies in popular culture, and not as a list of entries without context. –Black Falcon ^(Talk) 01:59, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Too indiscriminate for a list. The criteria are too broad, and as the nominator put, could also fit in Zombies in popular culture. Perhaps a redirect there as a likely search term is in order. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 02:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure the current title is really a likely search term (just "List of zombie-themed songs" would be different), but I don't really have any object to redirection. –Black Falcon ^(Talk) 02:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I search for lists like that all the time. Although yeah, the "and bands" thing kind of ruins it. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 02:48, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I just dont think it belongs in wikipedia, a list of songs or bands with a zombie theme isnt encyclopedic to me. AlbinoFerret (talk) 05:08, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is no asserted significance in the connection between the items on the list. It's just too random and indiscriminate.--Kubigula (talk) 05:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Most of these are not notable, and lists generally do not belong in WP. 216.183.234.7 (talk) 05:24, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
