I believe that this should be merged into Instrumental. I have believed that since December 2011 and eventually made the move April 2013. It has now been opposed. There is very little content in this article that is not in Instrumental. Laun chba ller 18:39, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I can't see any debate over whether this should be merged. Was there a merger discussion? AfD is not the location to secure support for merging: see Wikipedia:Merging for the correct procedure. --Colapeninsula (talk) 22:39, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. One article is about instrumentals in general, the other a country-specific list. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:06, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Although the image needs to be removed, does not relate to a List. Also it needs cleanup (removing references for wikilinked entries), meets WP:SALAT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loriendrew (talk • contribs) 00:24, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think this article's biggest problem is its rather unclear inclusion criteria – Animals has lyrics ("MOTHERFLIPPIN' ANIMALS!!"), and I seem to recall Flat Beat having some lyrics at the start as well. By the article's own admission, Hoots Mon is "not fully instrumental". And what about Axel F by Crazy Frog? Is that an instrumental? This is where I feel the waters get rather muddied. If the inclusion criteria were more stringently laid out, I'd be more likely to !vote keep. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 22:45, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
