Attention: WikiProjectSongs. Shouldn't this article be class assessed as a list? robertjohnsonrj 23:33, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

"A Whole New World" should've been on this list without a doubt!

[edit] O Brother Where Art Thou?

It is highly disappointing that none of the beautiful songs from "O Brother Where Art Thou" made it to the top 100. I beleive "Man of Constant Sorrow" should definitely have made it to the list. I guess many people will agree with my humble opinion. - Nabhen 05:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

How does the case you cite apply here? Seems we went through this once before, and I seem to recall that what comes out of AFI is not copyrightable, as it has something to do with it being gov't agency/federally funded. Please elaborate on your deletion criteria. --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 08:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Creative input makes this not just a list of data. With it being more than that, it is covered as creative content. As a creative item, this is a copyright violation to have it up here. If you can find something that says otherwise, please point the direction. Copyright violations are Speedy deletes, not AfD. Slavlin 00:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

From my limited understanding of copyright law, reprinting the list is a borderline case, and I can understand if an administrator removes the list to be safe. However, the fact that the remainder of the article would be a stub is not a criterion for any form of deletion, much less speedy deletion.--FreeKresge 02:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Um, wouldn't that case apply to all of the lists in the AFI 100 Years... series? If so, then wouldn't it be appropriate to either remove or keep all of the lists? It doesn't seem right that this list should be singled out. UnfriendlyFire 05:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
