[edit] 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs

Non-encyclopedic VH1 countdown. (c.f. VfD 40 Most Awesomely Bad Breakup Songs). RJH 21:29, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete non-notable cable TV special -Soltak 21:52, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Real TV show. --malathion ^talk 23:45, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
  • It is a TV show in a long series of "awesomely bad" countdown shows that VH1 puts out, but rather than an article about the program, this entry just lists the 50 songs. Hardly encyclopedic. -Soltak 23:50, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable and useful resource, wikipedia is not paper. Kappa 02:37, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Verifiable? Yes. Useful? I sincerely doubt it. It's a POV list created by the folks over at VH1 and, while some might agree that these are the 50 worst songs in history, I seriously doubt a consensus could be reached on that point. -Soltak 16:23, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Since there is no way to get an objective list of "worst songs", a subjective one is the best we can hope for, and hence extremely useful. Kappa 16:31, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Perhaps I'm just ignorant, but I would be very interested to discover in what context anyone would find this useful. Any ideas? -Soltak 16:42, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
        • Um in the context of someone looking for bad songs. Kappa 16:05, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep --Trogga 15:42, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete useless list —Wahoofive (talk) 16:40, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge or Keep - Merge into an article on the entire series, otherwise keep YggdrasilsRoot 14:02, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as nonnotable. TV shoes and magazines make countdown lists all the time, there's no real reason to reproduce any of them. Also, there is some potential for copyright issues for the organization of a list for which creative effort was taken to put in that order. DreamGuy 20:33, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into something like "VH1's 50 Mosts"Gateman1997 16:32, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

NOTICE: After further investigation the {{vfd}} has been removed in favor of {{copyvio}} Soltak 22:00, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete copyvio, subjective list. JamesBurns 04:02, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
