This recent article has twice been redirected to the album entry, and twice undone. Under
WP:MUSIC it simply does not seem to me notable enough to keep, and I would appreciate the confirmation of the community on this. Elen of the Roads (talk) 11:15, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply

- Redirect. Redirect to album article until song charts and more can actually be written in the article. Nouse4aname (talk) 16:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Tried twice with this article. Never quite sure what to do if the page creator keeps removing the redirect.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 17:01, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That's fair enough. With the result of this AfD at least you will have a clear consensus one way or the other. Nouse4aname (talk) 09:25, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Actually I did not create the page, I only changed it into a proper article from the redirect. Oh by the way someone called User:Jake Marr started the original article. Mcrfobrockr (talk) 23:20, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, I assumed it was the original author both times. According to WP:MUSIC a single needs to have considerable notability (be a top ten hit, sell a million, have a notorious video or some such) to warrant an article of its own. Properly this article should be redirected back to the album as noted above. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:29, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep It'll have to be made sooner or later, so keep it to make it easier for readers, because if you redirect to Brand New Eyes they'll have to go through the whole page just to read about a tiny bit of this single. They'll probably also clicked on a link from Brand New Eyes to the article and will be kind of annoyed if it redirects, so I say keep. Mcrfobrockr (talk) 23:20, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm gonna go ahead and say keep. Even though ]
- This is what I'm trying to work out. I'll be interested to see what the outcome is.Elen of the Roads (talk) 11:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The above argument is simply a case of WP:OTHERSTUFF. Just because articles for other less notable songs exist, does not mean one should exist for this song. WP:MUSIC remains the same, as does GNG. With no assertion of notability yet, the article should remain a redirect. Nouse4aname (talk) 09:25, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The above argument is simply a case of
- Delete, merge or redirect. An article on an individual song should be a rarity, occasioned by specific notability for the song, not the album or the artist. Certainly not before release. Sussexonian (talk) 01:03, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I vote to keep. 222.155.128.37 (talk) 04:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- This is not a poll. We do not count votes. Please base your argument on wikipedia policy and guidelines only, not your opinion . Nouse4aname (talk) 09:25, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect I've been waiting for someone to make this page for about a month now, finally it happened. So predictable. It needs to pass WP:NSONG with third-party sources, which it currently doesn't. All that is currently said can be covered in the album page - please source it. Do we really need AfD's for matters like this? A simple bold redirect would suffice. kiac. (talk-contrib) 16:02, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually it does have third party sources sourced in it. Mcrfobrockr (talk) 22:57, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- A dubious (Ustream, reliable???) streaming video interview and 3 self-published links from their website? There's no need to defend this, it will be back up before you know it. ]
- You should watch the video instead, instead of just saying it's not reliable. She does state things that support the statement. You can't get much more official than someone who is actually in the band. 122.57.155.98 (talk) 19:40, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Official does not mean reliable. Two totally different things. She can give us a great observation on how great rainbows are for all I care, but it does not make it reliable or unreliable. That video is not making this article notable. kiac. (talk-contrib) 13:36, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- I reckon we should keep the article, I agree with Ivanvector, on the number of music articles which do not meet the guidelines, but it wouldn't do any harm by leaving it here? MadamLouvre (talk) 03:59, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Read ]
- @Kiac, people are just voicing their opinions, why do you have to reply to all of them just to argue? I've noticed this on all of the editors that have said keep. Mcrfobrockr (talk) 23:05, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No, he is making valid points. dispute resolution. That is, unless you want the info in the article to be deleted forever. Ivanvector (talk) 01:45, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I wasn't attacking the editors, or doing anything wrong. If someone is making pointless contributions, I am happy to state it, and refute it. People don't do that enough on Wikipedia, which is why we get extremists doing their own thing much too often. kiac. (talk-contrib) 13:06, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - the single isn't even released yet. The page should be deleted for now, and can be re-created once the single is released. Bramblestar (ShadowClan Leader) (talk) 01:31, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bramblestar "the single isn't even released yet." Actually it is, well over here in New Zealand, its been getting a lot of radio airplay. Mcrfobrockr (talk) 04:57, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry about that, I live in America, where the single won't be released until April. Thanks for telling me about the New Zealand release. Bramblestar (ShadowClan Leader) (talk) 22:06, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also I noticed that the article of Brick by Boring Brick, the single released before this one, was also created before its release date by someone called Kiac, who is now opposing this one. I wonder why that is. [1] Mcrfobrockr (talk) 05:02, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- How many times do I have to say that it has already been released? Or if not that, it has been receiving a lot of radio airplay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcrfobrockr (talk • contribs) 00:42, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- You can say it as many times as you like. We still have no Reliable Sources. Why should we believe you? It hasn't hit the charts, so why should we just take your word for it having airplay? Because I highly doubt that. kiac. (talk-contrib) 01:53, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Fine, I don't care if you don't believe, me but it has had received radio airplay on ]

- Delete/Redirect - Article doesn't demonstrate why this particular song is notable enough to merit a separate article, per WP:NSONGS, "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article". Not helped by the fact that it hasn't been released yet and only one source cited is independent of the artist involved. Some of those voting to keep this article seem to be able to predict the future. Since I lack this skill, I'm unable to consider how notable the subject will become.
