The result was No consensus, default to Keep. WaltonOne 16:18, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The first two AFDs ended in "keep" (though the second was speedy keep for immediate renomination) but but the lack of participation and policy-based reasonings instigated a third afd, which ended in " no consensus to delete ". However, ignoring WP:ILIKEIT and complaints that the initial afd ended in keep, this would have met with deletion. First problem is that "self-referential" ends up being extremely subjective in some circumstances, and often totally up to the contributor's discretion. Secondly, the list itself is essentially for music-trivia buffs and lacks any justification as "encyclopedic". See Wikipedia:Overlistification#Trivia proposal.

WP:NOT#DIR is for articles that are lists of elements that are not connected to each other by rigid criteria. The list of songs that reference themselves (not that reference their topics, but themselves - the songs). You summed up what I meant right there. Bulldog123 00:14, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
