This just seems to copy and organize the contents of Category:Lists of songs and its subcategories, which makes this list subject to continual maintenance and being out of date, while the categorization method should be more complete and easier to navigate.

• Keep per WP:CLN/WP:NOTDUP. Lugnuts ^{Precious bodily fluids} 18:06, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
  • Don't see how this is beneficial since it does not include any features that aren't already available within the existing category scheme (per WP:NOTDUP). Would a list of discographies that just copies the entire contents of Category:Discographies be beneficial? --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 18:15, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

• Keep – Qualifies for an article per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:Lists of songs. Also qualifies as a functional navigational aid per WP:LISTPURP, and also as an easier means for users to access song list articles compared to having to having to click through all of the subcategories on the category page. WP:LISTPURP being met is evidenced in part per the 28,867 page views the article has received in the last 90 days. Deletion would simply make this content more difficult for users to access.
