[edit] Isobel (song)

This page links to nothing else, and it is a song that did not reach any charts. Non-notable The ikiroid (talk)^{(Help Me Improve)} 01:11, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

• Possible rewrite? As I recall, there'sa song by that name by Bjork which was a single and reached the charts. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:15, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Nevermind, that's at Isobel. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:18, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Note- this article was written by Maoririder, who has been indefinitely blocked for vandalism and trolling. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 01:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
  • In that case, it should be speedy deleted per G5, which I have tagged, unless there's a distinction between "blocked indefinitely" and "banned" which I haven't quite picked up. TheProject 01:35, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per Ikiroid. It looks like the page was created before he was banned, so it cannot be speedily deleted that way. -- Kjkolb 02:59, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Extremely Weak Delete, songs fit Wikipedia. However, the article needs MUCH improvement, and since Isobel isn't a single from Dido, there should be a very good reason of why the song has its own article. -- ReyBrujo 04:55, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Album tracks are ordinarily better covered in album articles. This isn't a particularly notable song. --kingboyk 05:53, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to No Angel. In regards to the above comment about speedy deletion, G5 applies to "Pages created by banned users while they were banned". As far as I'm aware, this doesn't apply retroactively, and according to the block log (for User:Maoririder, 03:07, 17 March 2006 Hall Monitor blocked "Maoririder (contribs)" with an expiry time of indefinite (Maoriride}), and for User:MaoJin, the actual creator of the article, and tagged as a sockpuppet of User:Maoririder, 03:07, 17 March 2006 Hall Monitor blocked "MaoJin (contribs)" with an expiry time of indefinite (Maoririder)) he was blocked on the 17th of March, while the article was created on the 31st of January.

  • I disagree with a redirect to No Angel. Dido's song is not the best-known song by this title. Bjork's song is. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:00, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, not a well-known song —Mets501^talk 12:30, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No matter when the article was created (or, I should say, by whom it was created), it's a completely non-notable song. It's not even a single, much less a well-known single. Even a redirect is unnecessary. -- Kicking222 14:01, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. There is no point whatsoever having a redirect from a disambiguated name; nobody is going to type "Isobel (song)" into the search box when Isobel is already about a song. Perhaps the Dido song should be mentioned for disambiguation on that page (with a link to the album). — Haeleth Talk 15:16, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Doesn't look like a notable song. The album page itself should cover it. Matterbug 22:37, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable enough to merit its own article. Buchanan-Hermit™..SCREAM!!!.... 23:50, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• I'm a big Dido fan, and Björk just leaves me cold (sorry!). But it is pretty clear to me that Dido's song is not notable under our guidelines and traditions, and Bjork's is. The Isobel entry should have a dab to point to No Angel with a mention that there is a song by that name on that album. Isobel (song) should be a redirect to Isobel. I think all that could have been done without needing to AfD anything (and people ought to give some thought to whether that's a viable approach, save the traffic on AfD...) but since it's here... Delete with redirect ++'Lar: t/c 15:05, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

• Note: I've set up the dab to No Angel at Isobel. Revert me if you disagree. ++Lar: t/c 15:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
