[edit] Ride the Lightning (song)

Ride the Lightning (song) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Previously prod'ed, this song doesn't have any sources out there demonstrating its independent notability - aside from being a Metallica song from "Ride The Lightning." BigHaz - Schreit mich an 10:33, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep or merge with the album article. The title song of a well-known album by a famous band is notable. I do agree that sources would be helpful. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 15:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless sources are provided showing its notability. J Milburn 16:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

  • delete Songs which lack independant sources about THEM should be redirected to the relevent albums, per wikipedia guidelines. With only a few exceptions, non-single tracks from albums usually lack the references around which to build an article, and this seems to clearly fit that mold. If enough independant source material can be provided, this may be keepable as an article. But not as it looks now. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 16:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to album Songs of notable artists which, by themselves, lack reliable sources don't necessarily have to be deleted. They can be redirected to the proper music album for reference, since people might search for them in Wikipedia or in other search engines. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 21:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

As the article includes no special information about the song but some ideas of its lyric, the information is better to be added to the album's page and until there is no notable fact about this song, it is waste of pages to have one page for each song of a band even if the band is a successfull one.
