- Unfortunately while it looks that way, it isn't. None of those are sources for this list. There is no ]
- Keep - Answer to Sparthorse: The reason I choose to include different styles of the clubscene like disco, dance, eurodance, nu-disco, house, dance-pop, techno, trance, post-disco, reggae, freestyle music, dubstep, new jack swing, hip-hop, new wave and eurobeat is because they all belong to and are played in clubs. It is the evolution of clubmusic from disco in the 70's, dance-pop, hip-hop and house in the 80's, eurodance, techno and trance in the 90's etc that the list shows. Those names that are in this list have been heavily played in clubs, and the uk chart-perfomances indicate how popular the tune was at the time. I also have in mind including the US chart perfomances later. Old Skool Dance often refers to the clubscene of the 80's and the 90's. If you look at Music Charts, Music Television, CD Compilations, DVD Compilations and several articles on wikipedia about "disco", "house", "dance", "techno", "trance", "hip-hop", "post-disco", "new wave" etc., then you'll find those names and songs often mentioned as I have included on the list. They stands out as the biggest names and songs of the clubscene at the actual time. It's my intention to make a complete (as possibly) and neutral (as possibly) list over the Old Disco, Dance and Club classics from the beginning in 70's until today. I don't like all the songs on the list myself, but i include them because they deserve their place on the list because they were and are popular (no matter what my own personal opinion is). Others are welcome to fill in names/songs that are missing. And then in time we'll get a more complete list of/about the biggest names and songs that has been important and defining in the evolution of modern clubmusic. Maybe we should change the headline to "List of Old Skool Dance, Disco and (other) Club Classics"? Or "List of Disco, Dance, House and Club Music"? And more references can be added later.

- Delete. Per the discussion above, it really isn't sourced. If this is a category of interest, there should be a (sourced) article Old Skool Dance and Club Music defining and describing it, but since the term isn't really defined, and there doesn't seem to be criteria for what is and isn't on the list, this article seems opinion.

- Delete with a heavy heart. Lots of work went into this list but, in the end, it's just a personal music playlist. This should be on someone's blog not Wikipedia. WP:INDISCRIMINATE
- Userfy in order that definition and further sources can be included. -- Trevj (talk) 10:31, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
