VH1's 100 greatest songs of the 80's[edit]

Non-notable. Only one reference to a not quite reliable source in my opinion, is the only coverage on here which is not making it notable. This list is also subjective to one networks opinion on songs from such a vague topic. Other "VH1 Greatest" articles have been deleted also and there's nothing different with this one.

Delete, Wikipedia is not a web directory or source repository. This article merely duplicates the list and therefore has no inherent notability. JIP | Talk 07:45, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It would be one thing if the article offered commentary backed up by third party sources, but this is simply a republication of the VH1 televised list and is therefore not appropriate for inclusion. - 2 ... says you, says me 17:07, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above, no hope of being more than a regurgitation of the list. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 18:54, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I created the article to serve as a hub for others like it. Looking back on it, probably not the best thing to do. I do consider the article pointless and does not promote what Wikipeida is here for...Gyr ferret ™ 21:14, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Cut heavily and Merge to VH1. Basically make the intro paragraph a section of the VH1 article, cut out the titles. Squidfryerchef (talk) 15:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. It's a copyright violation. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 23:00, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, subjective list, criteria for inclusion dependent only on what the programme-makers thought would fill an hour or so of telly and attract advertising. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/VH1 Greatest Hard Rock Songs. pablo_hablo. 12:57, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's subjective in the way that having a page on Obama is. An open vote doesn't really count as "subjective" in this case. Still article should be gone.Gyr ferret ™ 14:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An article on Obama containing 100 facts voted for in an unaudited poll by VH1 viewers maybe! pablo_hablo. 15:55, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then instead of Obama, let's make it the 2004 Bush Election...Gyr ferret ™ 04:56, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
