List of tracks that sample the Amen break[edit]

List of tracks that sample the Amen break (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Entirely unsourced list based on apparent original research, ie someone listens to a song, hears what they think sounds like the break, then adds it to Wikipedia. Even if it were sourced, it would still be a directory of loosely associated songs, unless it can be shown that all of these songs are notable for featuring a 5-second drum sample.

• Delete A strange article - I can't conceive of any use for it, or any notability criteria that it doesn't fail. Thedreamdied 07:12, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete mostly original research. The only song on that list that I've heard with a break that sounds remotely like the "Amen break" was the PPG theme song :/ JuJube 07:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: an interesting list with a wide variety of implementations of the well known break. +mt 07:45, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - per WP:NOT#DIR and WP:OR. WP:INTERESTING is not a persuasive argument. Otto4711 14:03, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: The Amen break is one of the most important drum beats in music, a break that has surfaced innumerable times in a wide range of musical genres. It has been called an "ubiquitous piece of the pop culture soundscape"^[1]. The entry could use more citations to place it within this context--Doughouse 15:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
