List of songs recorded by Shammi Akhtar

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

None of song in this list have their own article. does not satisfy WP:SAL (Every entry meets the notability criteria for its own non-redirect article in the English Wikipedia...). Main article Shammi Akhtar isn't big enough, almost stub without "songs" section, i don't see a good reason to split "songs" section and create another stub article. আফতাব (talk) 22:36, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I didn't split up any articles. Rather you split up my article and redirected them to Shammi Akhtar. Please check, Category:Lists of songs recorded by Indian artist, some of them being very short. Shammi Akhtar is a legendary singer, so list of her songs may exist, not so big deal. Nothing to do with the article, I suggest let the article with that songs' list and the article songs' list separate. How does that sound? Makhamakhi (talk) 03:00, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds bad. A separate song list serves no real purpose when its not linking to any song articles. And the singer's article is so short, there's no reason why the list can't just be there. Sergecross73 msg me 13:46, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - While there's no hard rule on when its okay for an artist to have a "List of songs" article, the general belief is that "if they've got a lot of song articles, its acceptable, and if they don't have very many song articles (or songs at all) its not acceptable. While there's no exactly line of acceptable/unacceptable, the general consensus is definitely that "zero song articles" is nowhere near enough.

Delete - At the Shammi Akhtar article, I recommend that people familiar with the singer find a selection of most important songs that have been discussed in the media in their own right, and create a short list there with sources indicating why those individual songs are independently notable. The author of this here list article might also take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Discographies for guidelines on when to create a list of songs/albums. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:29, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this list appearing on both the main article and the list article? You either spin it out or you don't. Compare with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Songs recorded by Arrows AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:14, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
