The result was delete. Unlike the other Lana Del Rey AfD I just closed, in this case, there does appear to be a consensus that this subject is not notable. While the criteria of standalone lists are different than those for articles, there still must be some evidence that the subject (here, "unreleased Lana Del Rey songs") is notable. No one has demonstrated that it is. Furthermore, it appears that many of the items on the list cannot even be verified (as a side note: linking to unofficial YouTube content is a form of copyright violation, and must always be removed immediately; the same would apply for any other uploading of the singer's material without her/her recording company's explicit approval). If there are any individual items on here that have been discussed in independent sources, information about those and only those could be added to some other page (assuming the information met WP:DUE). For clarification, the policies that apply here are WP:N (specificallly WP:LISTN), and various parts of WP:NOT. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:16, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The previous AFD on this list closed as no consensus. So I am revisiting this, as from the start I tried to get rid of this content, and only created the page to satisfy another user.

This list of every single song ever recorded or performed by Elizabeth Grant (currently performing under the name "Lana Del Rey") under her various stage names is massive and unwieldy. While it is meticulously sourced, almost none of the sources are considered reliable. Several dozen, in fact, are to postings of "leaked" demo tapes to websites such as YouTube, Vimeo, or Soundcloud, and I've seen several references that go to several Lana Del Rey fansites. The other major selection of references are to search results on the ASCAP database, which likely features every song ever written or recorded by members of ASCAP. These search results are no longer valid, as a log in is required, and the site simply shows that the songs exist in some form to be used by ASCAP members.

The previous AFD brought up that similar pages by other artists have also been deleted, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of unreleased songs by Nicole Scherzinger and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of unreleased Rihanna songs due to similar poor sourcing issues. While List of unreleased Britney Spears songs and List of unreleased Madonna songs, I do not think that the coverage exhibited on this page satisfies keeping the content in any form, even if it is merged to a list created at the time of the previous discussion (which I have also listed for deletion). The other pages feature reliable sources beyond bootleg copies and a summary of the ASCAP database. —Ryulong (琉竜) 09:12, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
