get a definate keep or delete. If after another 5 days, it seems clear that we are still stuck with no consensus, I will change my comment to delete and explain my rationale and hope other editors will follow suit. I accept that it seems a ruthless thing to do, but the continual refering of articles to Afd may be seen as disruptive and certainly doesn't help make Knowledge (XXG) good. If deletion stops Afds being raised than this can only be a good thing.
579:. The format and subject of most "List of songs about..." articles makes them worth deleting. But this article actually provides the relevant lyrics. This means the article can be more easily verified. It also avoids the trap of picking a too general subject or listing songs that merely use suggestive puns. If someone were to write a paper on masturbation in 20th century popular culture this list could actually be quite helpful. 955:, it is not actually confirmed (as the article does not cite it's sources). If this article were a list of songs about masturbation then we may have something to discuss, but what we're dealing with would be much more accurately named if it were called "List of songs which are believed to make reference to masturbation". And if it was actually called that, I doubt we'd be having this discussion. 922:
Unscholarly and disreputable, no sources. The trouble with the lack of sources is highlighted by the fact that some of these songs like have nothing to do with masturbation at all (though many plainly do;) in these cases I doubt the songwriters would appreciate the appearance of their lyrics on this
488:
Good point. My argument is that the article is well written, could probably be improved with additional sourcing (besides the obvious lyrics pages), addresses a subject that obviously would not be in a papr encyclopedia, and is describes the fact that taboo subjects tend to be described only in pop

Reviewed the article, which has held up well, despite being walked in on three or four times already. More detailed than most "list of songs about____" and written by someone who is clearly a master of this particular domain of music. It's clear that the author has spent a lot of time (by himself,

Sorry Bulldog, I was less than clear. I think that you should relist this for another 5 days, so that other editors can contribute. At the moment IMHO, it looks like another "no consensus" and I think that raising an Afd every month or two isn't good for wikipedia (100+ Afd nearly every day). lets

I get that you're trying to make a cross-afd point about improving articles rather than deleting them, but in this case, it's grossly irrelevant. What more could honestly be done with this list? Include songs that are entirely about masturbation, or bolden the masturbation innuendos? Fact of the
672:
Masturbation is one of the ultimate acts of profanity. Why else the divine genocide of infant felines? Songs about this act of blasphemous violence are of vital interest to Angels of Vengeance as well as trivia writers. Of course, most remotely scintillating wiki entries are vital to the latter
779:
To the contrary, the list is barely verifiable, as when a specific lyric is not given, here is no citation (or any citations in the article whatsoever), and when a specific lyric is given, more often than not the sample is not conclusive, and is instead massively subject to interpretation.
616:- I really hate lists, that are just incredibly boring links to other articles that I could have googled much easier. This is quite something else and has the makings of a useful tool. He's knocked out some well observed lyric references, though I do appreciate that some of them may be 319: 111: 105: 100: 95: 90: 84: 367:

It has been eight months since the last discussion, which was inconclusive like the first. It would be different, if this was renominating a discussion resulting in a "keep" consensus, or it was a discussion that had just recently concluded.
857:
The time spend on over a 100 AfDs/day and DRVs would in this case (a 2nd or greater AfD) and many others be better spent adding and improving content. Pick any {{fact}} and fixing it is a better use of editor's time.

improve. It's just a trivia-based arbitrary listing, and for some reason I doubt many college students are going to be disappointed this list was deleted since they were going to base it on their discourse.
766:. Very well kept and done. Verifiably accurate and reasonably complete.. After 3 AfDs, why do we need another?!? This list has only gotten better over that time. Please let this one be the last one. 796:. It's just a list about songs, just with the topic of masturbation. Masturbation is a cultural theme, and is relevant to knowledge. If we delete this list, we might as well delete everything in 821:
Had this ended in "keep" the second time it was nominated, renominating wouldn't make much sense. The list moved from that to 'no consensus' when usually it is the opposite that should arise.
529:. Most, it seems, simply involve one line that either directly, or through a euphanism, mention masturbation. Two different concepts. The list as it stands is without value. 459:

Let's say a team of 10 people worked on this list for three days. How will that change the fact that it's really just a random collection of information in the end?

Despite what it might look like, this is only the third nomination, not the fourth or fifth. Three nominations are usually totally acceptable.

643:. The current state of the article may suck, but if it were to be thoroughly reviewed and sourced, it'd be a perfectly acceptable list. -- 505:
Yet as I've said before, the lyrics are very much open to interpretation (you can't really verify that something is innuendo, can you?).

Right but the first ended in "keep" not "no consensus" so I didn't count it. I'll change it though.
