Making them "rare" songs is inherently WP:OR and is likely to create a perpetual problem with sources. Either expand to List of AC/DC songs or delete. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:41, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Lists need to have clear inclusion criteria. Rare is a term that I doubt can be uniformly defined, and I doubt sources exist that can effectively label a song as rare. Thus this list will inevitably contain OR, as the nom suggests. The AC/DC discography article will suffice and is linked to articles about each album. PDCook (talk) 12:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete already covered in AC/DC discography, or shouldn't be covered at all. No criteria for "rare." Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 15:57, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment While I'm not condoning the article (I've never been happy with it despite trimming it occasionally), this list is not actually a list of arbitrarily chosen songs, it is basically a list of songs only released in one country, songs subsequently removed from later releases, B-sides, and songs that were not officially released at all. There is no OR. That said, these criteria have never been mentioned at all. Furthermore, the term "rare" is a poorly chosen one, as few of these songs were ever truly hard to find. They were merely harder to find than most AC/DC songs. I would have recommended a simple clarification of the criteria and a change of title but the recent release of the Backtracks album has rendered the majority of these "rare" songs extremely easy to find, and in fact, "common". Removal of these would leave a rag-tag group of bootlegged and pirated songs that would be impossible to source adequately. Incidentally, most of these songs had their own articles until I prodded them all ;) AC/DC have suffered a bit on Wikipedia from utterly trivial article content.

- Delete Rare is a subjective term. The discography article would be the better place to cover these. Orderinchaos 02:05, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Might be worth reading my above comment. I'm not saying the article shouldn't be deleted, but at least it should be deleted for a proper reason. It's not a subjective list. Bretonbanquet (talk) 02:21, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, due to the subjective nature and seemingly also indiscriminate, of the "rare" qualifier. -- Cirt (talk) 13:44, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
