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 [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 to the article on the album, or failing that the band, until such a time as the importance of the subject (the song) can be demonstated to meet the WP:music notability guidelines through the use of WP:verifiable information taken from WP:reliable sources independant of the band or the record company involved. -- saberwyn 10:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep per LukeTheSpook, and the fact that this AfD is the result of Legotech's anti-Gob rampage. The single itself is notable, by a notable band, and I think it may have charted, but I'll have to double check that. The article suffers from the fact that no one has made any big contributions to it, not that the subject isn't notable enough. It would've made more sense to tag the article for sources than to take it to AfD. This is true for all the articles he has sent. --Pwnage8 (talk) 21:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect - Non-notable song. Saying it "may have charted" is moot. (If it charted, WP:PROVEIT.) Saying it should be tagged for sources is moot. (If there are sources, provide them.) Saying it's not a "song" it's a "single" does nothing for notability. Fails WP:MUSIC#SONGS, nothing to merge, so redirect. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 11:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
