[edit] Music of SpongeBob SquarePants
Listcruft at best. Music is in alot of shows, I don't see this as notable at all. RobJ1981 12:12, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete might keep if the show had won an award for its use of music or something like that, but it has not. Dar-Ape 17:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. I may be biased because I created this article, but I think it has merit. For one thing, the amount of music tracks in SpongeBob (particularly the Associated Production Music) is immense, just like Ren & Stimpy. As such, it's worth cataloging it. It's not like the article is a two sentence affair of worthless information or anything, and much of the APM info hasn't been released anywhere before this, making it a handy resource that you can't find on other sites. In addition, it would be highly unrealistic to put all of this information in the main SpongeBob article (because it would get way too long), hence the branch off to its own article, where things can be fleshed out more. You argue that this article is 'listcruft'. First of all, it's impossible to know whether something is only useful to a limited amount of people without polling everyone who watches SpongeBob. Second, while I admit the article is basically a laundry list of all the songs used on the show, the list is constantly changing, since the show is still running, not to mention people are finding songs on the APM site all the time, and therefore new songs can constantly be added.

- Keep. Music plays a very important part in the program and therefor an own article is justifiable in my opion. The theme tune is a popular song for children and adult fans alike and therefor is notable. Due to the amount of songs listed it would be unwise to merge this into the main article, as this would just bloat the article. In my opion this article is very useful for people looking for information on the music of SpongeBob and is very notable due to it's theme tune popularity alone. Poeloq 02:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - Would be non-viable to merge to the parent article, meets WP:LIST, notable television show, and as Sb2007 states, music plays an important role in said show. Matthew 13:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- keep - a good article relating to the music of the animation. portland12
- Keep - SpongeBob SquarePants asserts the notability of the show's music, with notable bands like Ween and Pantera. –Pomte 03:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
