The result was Merge all into Stupid Dream. However, if anything notable can be written about the two singles (Pure Narcotic (song) & Stranger by the Minute (song)) that is long enough that they require their own articles, I don't see why they can't have their own articles (but only if such content will be too much to include in Stupid Dream).

[edit] Even Less (song)

Non-notable song. Unlikely to ever be more than a stub. Any unique information should be merged into the article for the album. —Wrathchild (talk) 16:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following articles for songs from the same album for the same reason:


  • SPEEDY KEEP notable band, notable album to notable songs.--Zhanggu 17:52, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
    • User's sole edit is to this AfD. —Wrathchild (talk) 19:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge any useful content into Stupid Dream. These articles are mostly made up of editorial opinion (one of the songs is "a nice poppy tune with wonderful close harmony vocals") and unnecessarily large unsourced quotes. Apparently "Piano Lessons", "Pure Narcotic" and "Stranger by the Minute" were released as singles, but only the Stranger by the Minute (song) article contains any information on the single release besides "It was the xth single".

  • Merge all into the album. It's pretty clear that only very, very noteable songs are to have their own articles. Never heard of any of those, not to mention the band itself. --SeizureDog 20:13, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge (and redirect) all into the Stupid Dream album article. Songs are only supposed to get an article when there's more to tell about them than can be logically fitted in the related album or band article. Mgm|(talk) 22:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect after merging any useful content into Stupid Dream. Most of the articles (including Stupid Dream) appear to be huge chunks lifted out of the band's website - direct quotes from Wilson (copyvio?) - Needs a complete rewrite after merger. Ohconfucius 07:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep the released singles for completion and expand those, merge the rest to the album. Singles should have articles. --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:51, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Even if such articles contain no information on the song's single release beyond "It was the xth single from the album"? Extraordinary Machine 20:05, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Yes. At the very least, it can be expanded somewhat, but I've found that "released single" is a fine compromise when it comes to individual songs. --badlydrawnjeff talk 20:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
