Shouldn't this song article be merged with Ace of Spades (song)?
Yes, it should. I did merge is ages ago and the original author reverted it. Then I put it up on vfd and it was kept. --Moochocoogle 23:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
This definately should be in the Ace of Spades article. If you haven't noticed, all versions of one song are always on the same page. It doesn't matter if it was live, re-recorded, or a demo, or if it was released one of those versions of the song as a single. It's still the same song. On other pages where there's two versions of a song or single, they're listed together, with just two infoboxes. I dunno if there's any wikipedia guideline that says stuff has to be that way or not, but I know that all other songs with two versions are listed on the same page, and I see no reason why this page should be different. Same goes for Motorhead (song; live) --User:Rock Soldier 19:18, May 2 2007
Wikipedia is not paper, I have noticed a number of times where articles about singles that cross over discographies are preferred by the readers as seperate. Ideally the encyclopedia would have a page for the song itself and its release by the composer if relevant, and mention of the other covers, where there is a desire for their inclusion in important enough band's discographies a page there is no problem, this is not a massive amount of pages. Until a better solution and sense of consensus, the status-quo is fine with me.--Alf melmac 23:27, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Yawn. I'm getting bored with this "definately [sic] should be" attitude. How did people become so brainwashed? – B.hotep u/t• 22:23, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Sheesh guys, why the heck didn't you call it "Hämeenlinna; live", we wouldn't even be having this conversation.--Alf melmac 22:55, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
