List of item numbers in Indian cinema

Delete per WP:NOTCATALOG. There is no inclusion criteria, no stand-alone notability for any of the items included (sans a handful). What is this? An indefinite guide to all supposed "item songs" that seriously contradicts policy against indiscriminate lists of loosely associated items.

Weak Delete as per nom. A WP:SAL containing blue-linked songs (not movies) probably can be constructed, and that would be fine to keep. However, there are only about 10 blue-linked songs (including Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte and Kajra Re), but some (Lazy Lamhe) aren't described as "item numbers" on the article page. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:59, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. This has all the hallmarks of an indiscriminate list. Ajf773 (talk) 09:41, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the item number terminology is discussed in books, there are no books that focus on listing every single item number out there. This would be like trying to maintain a list of songs in films or films that have post-credit scenes. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:16, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Deleteas it is very hard to say what is an "item number" and what is not. Critics often disagree over it and there is no particular authoritative source for it. I think it is best to keep this information in the song article itself. For example, if Sheila ki Jawaani is considered an item number by critic A, it can be mentioned in that article.--DreamLinker (talk) 08:12, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
