[edit] Banshee Song
Contested Prod
per WP:Music
Most songs do not merit an article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for a prominent album or for the artist who wrote or prominently performed the song. Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. A separate article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album.

- Strong Keep
It's notable enough becuase a.) it's a single by a notable band and b.) WP:Songs is talking about individual songs, these are singles, which, if by a notable enough band, merits a keep [LukeTheSpook] | [t c r] 04:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Merge/Redirect - according to WP:MUSIC, all albums and songs - and therefore by implication singles - still have to meet basic WP:N criteria. It even states that "album articles with little more than a track listing may more appropriately merged....". I can't see anything in the article justifying notability for an article in its own right, so my vote is to merge it into the groups' article, and change this article to a redirect.

- Redirect - Nothing sourced to merge. Wikipedia:Music#Songs (WP:SONGS is a joke page) clearly discusses this very type of situation and call for a redirect of this non-notable song. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 13:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment If the consensus reached is Redirect, could the song be merged into the Muertos Vivos Article? [LukeTheSpook] | [t c r] 18:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment - A Redirect is not the same as a Merge. A Redirect means simply that the article disappears and anyone trying to find it will be taken the the target article (which looks to be Muertos Vivos). A Merge is a redirect with the info from the disappearing article being added to the target. In this case, though, there is no sourced info in the Banshee Song article, so I see a Redirect, not a Merge. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 19:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
