The result was Delete although I have redirected it to the album's article as it makes more sense if the song doesn't merit its own article but if the album is notable or deserves it own article. I see that the album has a section about some of singles which some minor details and if any info from Trapped Under Ice is worth mentionning in the single's section of the album feel free to do so.--JForget 23:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trapped Under Ice

Trapped Under Ice (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 10:36, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, no sources and no claim to notability beyond appearing on a notable album. Powers T 13:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Make that a Delete all; including all of the songs from this album in one AfD would've been helpful. =) Powers T 13:09, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
      • I considered doing that, but opted against, since there may well be one or two which can be established as notable, in which case the batch-AfD would have got very confusing and probably been closed early. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep all of the Metallica songs listed on this page. The songs are not individually notable, but they are part of the canon of a famous band, and deleting these articles would essentially remove information not stored elsewhere on the site. Shalom Hello 13:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Removing information not stored elsewhere is fine if that information is not sourced. Powers T 13:33, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Delete Being part of the canon of a famous band doesn't make them notable enough for their own articles. See WP:NOTINHERITED. I don't see any of their award-winning tracks nominated so they probably could all go. MorganaFiolett 14:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable song. Information about it may be incorporated into the album article, but redirect is unnecessary since the song itself is unlikely to be the subject of a search. Note, I removed the external link to the lyrics, which was placed in violation of WP:EL. --Moonriddengirl 13:51, 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 16:37, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per all above, I see no reason that this song has any independent notability. J Milburn 18:34, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to the album article. Corvus cornix 20:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
