WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is generally an invalid argument in AfD. "Venezuela anthems" is clearly a single topic, while "non-couverweign countries anthems" is clearly a loose collection, ripe for AfD. A rule of thumb for lists is to check whether some reliable sources considered such kind of lists.

I didn't use
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as a reason to keep the article. I used the examples to counter the original nom's argument of how articles like it *don't* exist by pointing out that they do. I provided a reference to show that it is a topic that exists in third party publications and therefore it is not an invention of the original author.

HighKing: This article fails
WP:NOTDIR by being an non-enclyopedic cross category (#6), a list/repository of loosely related items in this case being anthems of European Union member states (#1), and a simple listing with no context information (#7). This also would be more useful on Commons as a category to organize media there. -KAP03(Talk • Contributions)

Yeah, I think the strongest argument I've seen is that it is a "fork" or "subcategory" of
List of national anthems. The article could very easily be expanded by including more information on the anthems such as date it was written, origins, etc.
