like the dozens of other articles this user has created, this isn't a necessary standalone list and is basically just an itunes directory. Anything relevant can be included in the main article about Runa Laila (as in anything that can be sourced outside of places to buy it.) PRAXIDICAE💕 20:09, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because wikipedia is WP:NOTDIRECTORY BrigadierG (talk) 20:14, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What would you say about those articles? List of songs recorded by Neha Kakkar, List of songs recorded by Lata Mangeshkar, List of songs recorded by Shalmali Kholgade. They are also similar type of directory and should be deleted for the same reason. I hope everyone will consider my points. Abbasulu (talk) 20:41, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly Keep - there are similar aticles List of songs recorded by Shalmali Kholgade, List of songs recorded by Lata Mangeshkar. Why they aren’t deleted? Abbasulu (talk) 20:16, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Abbasulu: Please see WP:WHATABOUT. "What about (something)?" is an argument strongly discouraged in deletion discussions. The linked page says:

The nature of Wikipedia means that you cannot make a convincing argument based solely on whether other articles do or do not exist, because there is nothing stopping anyone from creating any article.

Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:INDISCRIMINATE, obviously enough. Wikipedia is not itunes. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 19:15, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are many list articles precisely of a person’s discography, very similar to this. Why nominate this article for deletion in particular? Abyan Malek (talk) 04:59, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Probably you have not watched these articles List of songs recorded by Armaan Malik, List of Urdu songs recorded by Shreya Ghoshal. Both of these articles are similar, they are simply a collection of names of their songs, as is this article. And the latter lne is a collection of just 12 entries, very small article. This can easily be redirected or merged in her discography article. Plaese consider these cases and judge fairly. I see many similar but weaker discography or itules type indiscriminate lists stay in wikipedia for years but not raising any eyebrews. Abbasulu (talk) 14:33, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Happily obliged: both of these are now at AfD. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:40, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because arricles like this exist but theres no reason to delete this because it may be similar to an 'itune' listing. Abyan Malek (talk) 5:06, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
Per WP:DEL-REASON: Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following: 14. Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia. This, being a trivial directory-like listing of seemingly every song ever recorded by some artist (information which probably is of no interest whatsoever except to the most dedicated of fans), is obviously "not suitable", as explicitly established by the community. Similarly problematic lists should also be deleted - go read WP:WHATABOUTX: it is quite possible that the other article should also be deleted but nobody has noticed it and listed it for deletion yet.

Redirect to Runa Laila#Discography as WP:INDISCRIMINATE. SBKSPP (talk) 23:31, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Previously closed by Superastig as "redirect to Runa Laila#Discography as an WP:ATD. Discarding the "keep" votes which state WP:OTHERSTUFF. Anyone is free to merge anything important to the target article." This was overturned as a WP:BADNAC at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2022 June 20.

Redirect to Runa Laila#Discography because this is an excessively lengthy directory, and the encyclopedia would be better served with a more selective listing. Reyk _YO! 09:08, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
