List of music videos by name

Am I missing something here? As far as unmaintainable, pointless song lists go, this really has to take the cake. There's been a fair amount of deletions of song lists recently, and many I really had no opinion on, but this one just sort of astounds me. Where to begin? First of all, this is not a list of music videos, but really a list of songs that have music videos. And basically every popular song released in the last 25 years has had some sort of video made for it (and many earlier ones have had videos thrown together from concert footage and the like as well). We used to have a List of songs by name that was poised to try to include every song ever recorded. Saner minds prevailed, and it now lists only songs that have articles. I wouldn't be opposed to treating this the same, but the problem exists that we don't have articles on music videos (that I know of, perhaps there's a few exceptions), we have articles on songs that may have music videos. If anything, the video is mentioned in the song article. Turning this into a list of songs that have articles in which the music videos are described or mentioned seems completely pointless too. I just don't see a sane way of salvaging this. It would be basically "Popular songs since 1981" and would have all the problems List of songs by name used to have. -R. fiend 06:10, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - massive waste of time. JFW | T@lk 01:30, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with suggestion: articles with information about music videos in them could be tagged with a category (if that's not happening already). Jacqui ^★ 06:23, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
