[edit] List of power ballads

Unmaintainable list. There are obviously thousands of power ballads.

• Obviously, there is no pinpointed criteria to the nomenclature; delete. --SuperDude 23:59, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete useless and unmaintainable list —Wahoofive (talk) 00:03, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per SuperDude. android79 03:33, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete Kinda hopelessly POV... What is a power ballad? Is "The Time Has Come (Pikachu's Goodbye)" a power ballad? Pika-Pika?! CHHHUUUUUU!!!! GMAFB Roodog2k (talk) 14:50, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
  • In my mind, a ballad is sorta a slow loveish song (or something like that), and some slow songs use electric guitars, drum machines, etc. hence the power but despite that, nomenclature is inevitably opinionized by fans hence this nomination. --SuperDude 22:13, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete ; the scope of the list is much, much broader than outlined by the power ballad article (which is in line with the I Love the 80s definition, for instance). I'd say cleanup, but if it's gotten this far it may be unsalvageable/unmaintainable. - choster 22:36, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep-We should keep this list right now CoolKatt number 99999
  • Also, until further notice, the content will be copied to a sub-page of my user page. CoolKatt number 99999
  • Please note that voting "speedy keep" implies that you feel the deletion nomination was made in bad faith. I'm pretty certain this is not the case. It's fine to copy this article to user space, but if you copy it back to article space after AfD finds a consensus to delete, it is speedy-deletable on sight. android79 01:56, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
    • OK, if the result is "delete", please post in my talk page what you want added to my userspace page. CoolKatt number 99999
• Delete. A pointless list, with no clear definition or upper limit of entries. (Note, incidentally, that a deleted article shouldn't be saved by being kept in User space. If you want to maintain a page of this kind, there are plenty of hosting services. See Wikipedia:User page.) --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:02, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup if possible, otherwise delete. Some songs IMO don't come under the category of "power ballad". 50 Cent is a rapper/hip-hop artist - since when did they write ballads? The list was good when it was uncluttered (see page history). Andrew 21:20, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup. This page doesn't seem to fall under any of the categories in Wikipedia's "Problems that May Require Deletion" table. (See Wikipedia:Deletion policy.) The list in itself is a useful one, (I discovered it because I was searching for just such a list). The problem is that incorrect information has been added to the list, 50 Cent's song being the most blatant. Delete misleading entries and keep the list. 15:16, 13 September 2005 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.63.232.8 (talk • contribs) 16:16, 13 September 2005.
