Samples of music from Australia

This information could be used much more appropriately in a category. As a list, it's too difficult to regularly update, and is thus useless. Giggy _U^CP 02:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sample pages are not appropriate, how do we decide who is a good sample and who is not. Category: Australian Music and the page Music of Australia cover this topic just fine. --Daniel J. Leivick 03:01, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stonr delete as per Clagary. Why does this page even exist? --linca ^linca 03:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete from mainspace. There may be an appropriate space for this in the Wikiproject Australian music space. Capitalistroadster 03:18, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment; currently this list is "List of Australian artists whose songs have been sampled", which as G1ggy says would be a very long list and probably unmanageable. I can see this being more suitable if it was changed to a "List of songs that have sampled Australian music". Then it could be grouped by decade to show the use of Australian music internationally.

- Again, I see this option being more suitable as a category (if I understand you correctly), as it would still be a very long list. Giggy _U^CP 04:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ah, I misunderstood the purpose of this list. John Vandenberg 02:42, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's not a seperate encyclopedia topic. Include the samples in Music of Australia and be done with it.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 10:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This appears to be a navigation page to lead readers to wikipedia pages that have samples of music that can be listened to. Therefore it appears to meet WP:LISTS. Assize 12:40, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Would you like to maintain it? Category:Powderfinger songs could all go in there, and that's just a start. Giggy _U^CP 22:28, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not particularly, but then Wikipedia is a colloborative effort and somebody else might. If we start deleting pages because nobody wishes to look after them, then 99% of wikipedia should be on AfD. Whether I am interested in the page (and I'm not), or whether it is an interesting navagational aid is irrelevant. Objectively, the page meets WP:LISTS, and should stay. Assize 11:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Meeting WP:LISTS does not mean that this list belongs in an encyclopaedia. It's simply a catalogue of sounds - that is not encyclopaedic. It could be maintained as a project page, possibly as a category, but as an article it's simply nonsensical. While Australian music is certainly a valid topic for an article, "Sound clips of Australian music" is not. GassyGuy 19:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Meeting a WP guideline means it is encyclopedic and that it belongs, as guidelines are the consensus of the community. Afd is supposed to be about assessing pages against the guidelines. Which guideline is breached? Assize 12:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete non-encyclopaedic and utterly inane.Daverotherham 21:24, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As the article stands now, it would be better maintained as part of WikiProject Australian Music's own page. There certainly doesn't need to be a list of articles where one can hear samples of Australian music within the article space. GassyGuy 05:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Inappropriate content for an encyclopaedia. —Moondyne 01:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, or move into WikiProject Australia. This list is being one step away from a audio gallery to non-free music, and so should be a category like Category:The Beatles music samples. John Vandenberg 02:42, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, obviously not suitable as an article, would be much better as a category. Lankiveil 11:42, 12 July 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Delete Cannot satisfy WP:NOT#DIR and appears to be a self-reference Orderinchaos 03:30, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
