The result was No consensus/default keep. Closure is mildly influenced by misuse of the word "infinitesimal." I believe the nominator meant "potentially infinite", which is usually expressed at AfD with word "unmaintainable". Xoloz 17:34, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of songs about friendship[edit]

Dynamiclist, infinitesimal. (Actually, it has no encyclopædic value.) TrackerTV (CW|Castform|Green Valley) 23:51, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from it not even making any sense in this context, being an infinitesimal is not a criterion for deletion. Neither is the fact that a list is "dynamic". Please base your rationales upon our Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Uncle G 00:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Can't imagine who would find this list useful. Aplomado ^talk 00:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Well, for instance me, else I would not have gotten onto this page ;-)

Besides, there is another reason to keep this. Take a look at this quote on the definition of music:

It is a direct expression of human emotions designed to manipulate and transform the emotion of the listener/listeners.

This is done to the combination of a song'a music and the lyrics, forming a theme (or 'mood').

Actually, most songs have social themes, like love, lust, hate and friendship.

And since all of the above is also studied on the Academic level, there are people who'd like to research on this. Or just read this list for fun.
