- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was No consensus. Article will remain for now. VoltronForce 03:22, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - per extensive precedent, lists of cover songs are not notable. If a particular cover song is notable then it should be mentioned in an article for the song. Otto4711 17:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. wikipediatrix 18:26, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I don't think you've read the article at all. Under the cover section, it says that cover songs have actually won awards (see also List of S.H.E Awards). This list is here because the group is actually NOTABLE for covering songs (see S.H.E#Lack of originality). Seeing as S.H.E is already a notable group in Taiwan (i.e. the ROC), then it would be expected that these covers also made regular appearances on the radio, which, according to this, this, this, this, and this, is in fact the case. It would really help if you actually started reading the article, thanks. Pandacomics 19:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- First off, keep a civil tongue in your head. As for your specific objection, any song by S.H.E that's won an award is notable in and of itself and should either be added to the band's discography or have an article written about it. A list of every song they've covered is not encyclopedic. Otto4711 21:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Then in this situation, your vote would be to Merge with S.H.E discography. Pandacomics 22:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Abstain I am not familiar with the precedent, but I'm not familiar with S.H.E either. All I know about them came from Wikipedia. --Ideogram 20:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The precedents include, but are not limited to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of cover versions of Kim Wilde songs, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of cover versions of Kate Bush songs (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of artists who have covered ABBA songs, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of artists who have covered Nirvana songs, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs covered by the band Pearl Jam, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Phish Covers, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs covered by Limp Bizkit, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Genesis covers, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs covered by Jimi Hendrix and many, many more. Every article in the category for lists of cover songs was deleted and the category itself was also deleted. Otto4711 21:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Again, I shall reiterate once again that the group is notable for covering songs by other artists. There was an article in the Beijing Times that I'd gladly share with you that essentially says "Lots of [Chinese] artists have covered songs, but the extent that S.H.E has covered songs is just disgusting." This isn't the same as the other artists you provided, who compose the majority of their own work, and use covers simply to complement their other songs. S.H.E's first single as a cover. The lead single for their second album was also a cover. Both of their compilation albums have two covers. Pandacomics 22:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep/merge per Panda. I think a complete list of songs they released would fit in the discography. Kappa 09:53, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps this list would be better included in a complete discography. --Ideogram 13:16, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into S.H.E discography. --musicpvm 18:55, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Valuable cultural artifact - Britney Spears and J.D. Souther both in Chinese? clearly notable. Wasted Time R 03:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. As it shows the difference of original songs and also Covers and Parodies in all S.H.E's album. Somemore it shows the original songs which is quite hard to get this information online.Reinhard tan 02:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep/merge for the reasons given by Reinhard tan. This group may be very cheesy, but they are very significant in Mandopop, and the article helps explain an important aspect of their success. If merged into the discography, no information should be lost. Matt 04:52, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
