List of songs about bipolar disorder[edit]

Way too specific list. --Conti|✉ 17:10, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Not much point merging with Bipolar disorder, since many of these are actually about other forms of madness or drug addiction. P Ingerson 17:48, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep unless a valid reason for deletion can be supplied by the nominator. —RaD Man (talk) 18:32, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable list. --DDerby 19:02, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The fact that this is a common song theme makes this a notable list... also, won't work as a category, because most of the individual songs are not notable. -- 8^D gab 19:43, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC)
  • Delete, most of the songs listed aren't really that notable. Megan1967 19:46, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete useless and utterly nonencyclopedic list. --Angr/comhrá 20:54, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable trivia and song-cruft (is there such a thing?). — Asbestos | Talk 22:10, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per BD2412. —Korath (Talk) 23:47, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. If I write a song about bipolar disorder, can I list it here? --Asriel86 23:49, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
    • Sure, if you're a well-known artist.--Fermatprime 22:50, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC) (voted below)
  • Delete. Trivia. --Carnildo
  • Keep Interesting and expandable List. Klonimus 01:47, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep nothing wrong with trivia. - SimonP 01:53, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as pointless subdivision of songs. Radiant_* 09:50, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as inherently POV--it is impossible to tell what most of these songs are really about, and bipolar disorder is merely one interpretation. Incedentally, I also agree it is non-notable. Very interesting though, someone should make a personal webpage about it.

  • Keep it's not unnecessary. --Dungodung
  • Strong keep. "Too specific" is not a valid criterion for article deletion. --Gene_poole 04:44, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • That's wrong, and you know it. Delete as songPOVcruft. Chris talk back 17:49, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. These songs that insult bipolar victims should end up in the garbage.- User:Pleasehelp
  • Delete - irrelevant list of irrelevant songs in irrelevant context, possibly done for want of nothing else to do - Skysmith 07:08, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, relevant to anyone interested in the disorder's affect on culture. -- user:zanimum
  • Keep. There's no reason trivia should be deleted from Wikipedia. Much of the information here is trivia.... — J3ff 02:18, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • KEEP I would like the submitter to explain what is "too specific" for wikipedia. Likely this wouldn't fit. Bipolar disorder is a rather common mental health problem and in our culture songs are the most relateable form of media for addressing personal subjects like this. Seeing these kinds of nominations makes me question why I have begun to spend so much time working on this site. Lotsofissues 13:29, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. How did "too specific" become a criterion for deletion? - Scooter 16:36, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, "too specific" is not a persuasive argument. Kappa 22:38, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, are we going to delete List of protest songs as well? (On the other hand, the article probably needs work.)--Fermatprime 22:49, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. --Myles Long 20:12, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
