The result of the debate was KEEP. — JIP | Talk 07:57, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Disaster has rather flexible nomenclature. Thereby rendering this list unmaintainable.
- Delete lists of disaster. --SuperDude 06:05, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep -- flexible nomenclature will mean the list gets large, eventually, yes, but at such point it can be split, too. --Mysidia (talk) 06:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - yet another unencyclopaedic, unlikely-to-be-maintained list. --Daveb 13:32, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, users should be able to find examples of songs about disasters. Can be refined if necessary. Kappa 14:40, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and refine. --Jacquelyn Marie 15:01, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I am starting to think about some of the subtopics that could be included... songs about natural disasters could be one, songs about environmental disasters could be another, and so on. --Jacquelyn Marie 15:02, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - worthy topic. Can be split up when number of listings warrant. 23skidoo 16:13, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Notable list OmegaWikipedia 18:15, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete the word Disaster isn't even clearly defined. If I broke up with my lover, I might consider that a disaster. Unverifiable and unmaintainable list. —Wahoofive (talk) 22:43, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Lists of songs so we can find a consensus on such things. —Wahoofive (talk) 22:43, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Useful and interesting list. --Centauri 06:37, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. List of songs on a subject which is not too broad, nor too trivial. I think most people will interpret "disaster" as "major fatal catastrophe" and not a wrecked love relationship. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:26, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This is an encyclopædia, not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep a useful crosslinking of related songs...dave souza 22:10, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Categorize Lists should be used instead of categories only if there is a definable set of members that can reasonably be expected to have every member listed. This list is by its nature uncompletable, so a category, with appropriate subcategories is the way to go. Caerwine 00:02, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
