[edit] Music at sporting events

Unencyclopedic. This article was only created in response to Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/List_of_songs_played_at_sporting_events--Zpb52 00:50, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The article was created in response to the vfd to show the proper way to discuss such a topic - not with a pointless list of possibly random tunes but with a well-researched exposition (which it will be, with time) on how music is connected to sports. -- BD2412 ^talk 01:14, 2005 Jun 27 (UTC)
• Keep Another instance of wanting to delete just because it isn't perfect! Jaberwocky6669 03:35, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • It isn't perfect? I'm soooo insulted! ;-) -- BD2412 ^talk 03:36, 2005 Jun 27 (UTC)
• Keep. This serves a different role than a list, and is in my opinion more encyclopedic. Factitious 04:21, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I don't think it's very encyclopedic. The individual sports sections can move to the individual sports themselves. To devote an entire article to something that is so temporal is Booshka!--GrandCru 28 June 2005 04:20 (UTC)
  • What do you mean by "temporal"? Factitious June 28, 2005 21:35 (UTC)
• Delete not encyclopedic. JamesBurns 28 June 2005 04:29 (UTC)
• Delete: original research. Wile E. Heresiarch 28 June 2005 06:20 (UTC)
• Keep I added to this a bit. It's a good topic, with a lot of ground to cover, and still needs quite a bit of expansion. This is definitely something which needs an article, not a list (or category) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind June 28, 2005 06:39 (UTC)
• Delete I don't think I actually voted on my header, so here's my vote.--Zpb52 June 28, 2005 06:51 (UTC)
• Keep I disagree that this is original research, and while I agree with GrandCru that it could use a little more tying down in time, I think it's a little booshka to to say that it's not worth thinking about in an encyclopedic way. I'd like to see where they're going with this. Sirmob 28 June 2005 07:23 (UTC)

• Keep, encyclopedic, referenced. Kappa 28 June 2005 09:44 (UTC)
• Well done, this is the exact opposite of WP:POINT. Keep, consider expanding with historical notes, e.g. music at the Ancient Greek Olympics. Radiant_>|< June 28, 2005 10:13 (UTC)
• Keep Musical. Klonimus 28 June 2005 18:29 (UTC)
• Keep - It is NPOV and verifiable. Unsinkable 28 June 2005 18:38 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - tough to defend seperation from specific sporting events, but there is theme and topic here. 42Moxies 28 June 2005 23:18 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Weak because it was only an experiment really anyway, but keep because I do see some expansion here e.g. those occasions where saluting to/playing a national anthem at an event has caused upset (e.g. the Olympics before WW2). -Splash June 29, 2005 02:19 (UTC)
