Overly long, poorly sourced list, filled with unnotable examples. Most of the works listed on the page make only a brief appearance in the work where they appear, and have very little importance to the plot. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Not a very active user (talk) 10:24, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminat4e collection of information. I can't see that any of these titles have any claim to notability.TheLongTone (talk) 13:35, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Thinking on it. Seems a list cut down to what's sourced as belonging would be good to have. Ceases to be "fictional" once it's written, no? Hyperbolick (talk) 14:11, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per the nominator. It seems like a very indiscriminate list. Aoba47 (talk) 18:04, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Such a broad indiscriminate topic, and there's no independent coverage of any of these cherry-picked examples the authors (primarily User:69.253.64.213) happened to be familiar with. They are songs that simply don't exist, merely mentioned as a made-up name in a fictional context, usually a passing joke or sketch with no notability or outside reference. Were they actually played or performed they'd no longer be "fictional", right, just anything in any made-up medium not intended for independently published release?

• Delete per nom. There may be a notable non-existent piece out there somewhere, but enough of them for a list? I think not. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:37, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This is essentially equivalent to the oft-mentioned List of fictional films, based on the contents of this list versus Category:Fictional musical works. Almost nothing here is notable or even significant in the plot, and as mentioned by Hyperbolick there is also an inclusion problem regarding original songs in audiovisual works and sheet music in written media. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:29, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Completely WP:INDISCRIMINATE not to mention purely original research. No idea how it passed through AfD before._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:15, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
