[edit] Profanity in songs

Profanity in songs (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-encyclopedic list, WP:NOT a collection of indiscriminate information. Leuko 04:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

• Strong delete. I have a feeling that you could just add 99% of all rap and punk-rock songs to this list. And aren't words like "damn" and "hell" considered "profanity" too? I could see a list like List of songs with profanity in their titles being more encyclopaedic, however. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 04:24, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete. I agree that this article is not encyclopaedic and not very useful for that matter, most all major albums with explicit lyrics clearly indicate this on the packaging, so I don't know why anyone would need this list, unless you just want to read a page full of bad language.

• Delete per nom. Also an article like this is breeding ground for original research. --Chris (talk) 05:10, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Maybe if it was an article about the historical impact, controversies, top ten songs that contain the most profanity, etc. than this article may be acceptable. But it would also have to be sourced as well. In its current state, it should be deleted, as there are thousands of songs that could be listed here. --Nehrams2020 06:25, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - appears to serve no useful purpose. As others have said it a) depends on your view of profanity, and b) could include tens of thousands of songs and could never be complete. - fchd 06:44, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This isn't an article about profanity in songs, as the title would suggest; it's a "list of profanities appearing in songs". It's also horribly incomplete - it only lists 34 songs, all by 3 groups (Dir en grey, Mindless Self Indulgence, and System of a Down). Oh, and it doesn't even list Uncle Fucka.

• Delete - it's not an article about what it claims to be about. What it IS about is probably un-completable, subjective, and incredibly trivial. --Haemo 09:14, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete - silly article. Trivial - nn. Also agree strongly with Haemo remarks above. Agnetha1234 15:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
