List of songs with brackets in their titles[edit]

List is becoming unmaintainable.

There is obviously thousands of songs with brackets in the title (official or not). Delete (unsigned comment from anon)
Keep What about all the other lists of songs. I think the list is a bit odd but someone may have a use for it. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of song titles phrased as questions. CambridgeBayWeather 21:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- unmaintainable. Title is also misleading to some English speakers (particularly USians) -- the proper type of brackets is parentheses. Haikupoet 02:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete useless and unmaintainable list. —Wahoofive (talk) 05:03, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete worse than trivial list. --nixie 05:44, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs about romance (including breakups). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:54, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
(Delete) as above --TimPope 11:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, listcruft. No one needs lists for everything. Punkmorten 22:11, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep per previous vfd. Also invalid nomination by anon. Grue 16:50, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - the previous VFD decided to keep the page, so why go back over old ground? I find it very interesting, and from the number of contributions we've had it's obvious that others do too. David 5000 18:00, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep when will you deletionists start doing something constructive like creating interesting pages, not deleting them? Unusual titles such as "All the Young Punks (New Boots and Contracts)", "Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)", "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)" and "You Can Make Me Dance Sing Or Anything (Even Take The Dog For A Walk, Mend A Fuse, Fold Away The Ironing Board, Or Any Other Domestic Shortcomings)" are inherently interesting.

- I advise you to look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of song titles phrased as questions too.
Keep. You're having a laugh, aren't you? If this page was worthless, it wouldn't have so many contributors. Besides, it's come up for deletion before and we voted to keep it. Deb 18:24, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per previous V/AfD. Too many contributors to be worthless. --Cel e stianpower ^hablamé 18:36, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per previous VFD vote. -SocratesJedi | Talk 19:15, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per previous vote. I would have voted to delete this the first time (if I was around), but we have to live with old votes, otherwise every article can get renominated any number of times. Repeat AFDs are a waste of time. --rob 20:12, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep:Yes, this page wouldn't normally be in an encyclopedia (apart from it being a list), but I feel that it has been on this website long enough that it still deserves a place here (just to let you know where here is). Also, if you delete this list, all the other song lists are going to get deleted too. I don't think that should happen not only because I think they're interesting, but also because someone might need them for something. I know that I needed the List of protest songs page for a High School English project. So I feel that this page should be kept. RENTASTRAWBERRY ^{FOR LET?} röck 22:20, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, harmless cruft. Weird that anyone could think this a strong keep, though. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:48, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - not unmaintainable and obviously interesting to at least some people. sjorford #£@%&$?! 12:48, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
keep please why do people keep saying that lists are not maintainable we have been maintaining many lists for years already Yuckfoo 21:42, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
keep serves to satisfy the curiousity of others, while there is still other music lists, if this one goes, the others should too. lists of bands too should go to since they are useless with your definition.
