- Redirect to album article as described above; no evidence this is a notable single as defined by ]
- Absolute Keep. It's confirmed, and the first single by a major band on their new album. There's artwork, release dates, and forthcoming b-sides. As per: http://arcticmonkeys.com/news.php?id=314 User:rexplosion —Preceding undated comment added 05:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC).[reply]
- Absolute Redirect as a plausible search term. Just because it is confirmed doesn't automatically make it ]
- Mate, this will chart top 10 in the UK charts, and is by one of the biggest British bands around. If this is not deemed notable, then Wikipedia may as well delete 80% of articles. Again,

- Comment. Rexpolsion, "this will chart top 10 in the UK charts"? How do you even know this? I'm a big Arctic Monkeys fan myself, but what you just said violates WP:CRYSTAL. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 16:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. Well, yeah, but if this article isn't notable then Wikipedia should cull 80% of articles. Do you want me to find 30 less notable articles than this? I could, in 5 minutes. Rexplosion (talk) 01:52, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. WP:CRYSTAL. And user:Rexplosion, if you want to nominate those 30 less notable articles, I'll probably vote delete for them too. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:30, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Delete it then. It'll be back Monday anyway, after it is debuted. --Rexplosion (talk) 03:41, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Also, Warthog, I direct you to the Star Trek argument on WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. This comes down to notability. And it is clearly notable. --Rexplosion (talk) 03:45, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Regarding WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS applies here; finding random other articles which have no bearing on this arguement at hand is not terribly helpful here. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:10, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment So you would have Season 8 of a Star Trek series up before Season 7 barely begins? -WarthogDemon 04:18, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Is it just me, or have we gone way off-topic? THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 07:56, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral Despite being confirmed by the band per Rexplosion's link to their official website. I still think it's a little too soon to make an article for this song. There's a few Google news links about the announcement of the single, but that's pretty much it. I'd wait until its radio premiere or we get a tracklisting for the single (ie the b-sides. Most Arctics singles have at least two or three) before making an arcticle. Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 16:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Hate to push the issue, because it's really not important given that it will have an article, either post-airplay or post-release. But it complies with WP:CRYSTAL. Anyone who knows the music scene and the Arceys' chart history will know, as the first single off a new album, it is "almost certain" to chart, probably in the top 10. They are one of the biggest bands in the UK, and this is pretty much accepted. There will be more information in the coming days and weeks about it so I think that the only reason that you could have for deleting this article would be for not enough information about it, with regards to things like music videos, tracklistings, and anecdotal evidence behind the history of the song. --Rexplosion (talk) 11:36, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think you really understand sourced. And you can't guarantee that a single is going to chart, even if that's what ends up happening. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 18:59, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think you really understand
I would keep it for now as it is and then add more to the article as information becomes available. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.221.196 (talk) 00:59, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
