[edit] Jacob's Ladder (Huey Lewis

Lyrics. Move them to Wikisource if it's truly notable, but delete from Wikipedia. Draeco 04:59, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

• Posting the complete song lyrics is a copyright violation. I tagged the article {{copyvio}} and it should be speedy deleted under A8. To meet Fair Use, quoted lyrics would have to be a small portion of a longer scholarly article and even then only partial quotations could be used. If such an article were written about this song, would probably fail notability anyway. Thatcher131 05:16, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - if you don't like this, you won't like Jacob's Ladder (song) either. dbtfz^talk 05:34, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

It's slightly memorable in a bland sort of way. Thatcher131 05:42, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, you mean the article. Thatcher131 05:42, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

• Light Speed Delete For a copyvio, empty, and broken title. --Krashlandon (e) 21:51, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as copyvio. Given that Jacob's Ladder topped the US charts, [1], a good article could be written about it. However, it is currently a one-line stub with a mistake in it - namely, the claim that the album was released in 1990 when Allmusic.com says that it was released in 1986. The problems with the title mean it is not even suitable for a redirect. Capitalistroadster 02:28, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete copyvio though I too would support an article about the song itself. 23skidoo 15:59, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
