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 KeepIt'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. Also, it's one of there first singles. [LukeTheSpook] | [t c r] 04:32, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Very weak keep, stronger merge. A single by a highly notable band (which I believe this qualifies as), is usually notable enough to keep. However, I can't find much in the way of WP:RS that would advance this past the stub that it currently is. All I can find are lyrics and tabbing. The lack of commentary by third party sources is troubling for this article. Given that, a merge to Too Late... No Friends or Gob (band) might be better. (Also, the article needs a rename to match the WP:MOS) -- ShinmaWa(talk) 07:25, 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.

  • Delete per WP:UGH. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:56, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
    You do realise that WP:UGH is expressed as an argument to avoid? Stifle (talk) 20:27, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect - Nothing sourced to merge, WP:MUSIC#SONG says this is non-notable. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 13:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment if the consesus is delete or Redirect, can the article instead be merged into the album for the song?[LukeTheSpook] | [t c r] 18:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp (talk) 13:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, then establish Fuck Them (Gob song) as redirect to Too Late... No Friends, the Gob album containing the song. A new redirect is needed per WP:MOS. B.Wind (talk) 07:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
