[edit] Toxicity (System of a Down Single)

I don't see why this song needs its own page at all. 86.130.154.235 20:52, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. Actually, if any SOAD song should get an article, this would be the one - it was the #1 song on a #1 album, and has been parodied by Tenacious D (who claim the lyrics sound deep, but mean nothing - which is okay because rock never had to mean anything). On the other hand, there's plenty of room left to cover this on the page of the album, which shares the same name. -- BD2412 ^talk 21:32, 2005 Jun 17 (UTC)
  • My mistake, Tenacious D parodied Chop Suey. -- BD2412 ^talk 19:00, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)
• It is notable, but my God, it's one sentence. Delete unless cleaned up IMMEDIATELY. Any improvement on this article would inspire a Keep from me. Keep. Mike H 22:12, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. If this is intended as an article about the song, that information should be merged/added into Toxicity, but there's no information there. If it is intended as an article about the single, which was only released in the UK and Denmark, there's not much to say about it. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 22:37, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless turned into a real article very soon, in which case move to Toxicity (song). I'd say redirect to the album (which is the best choice for song substubs, when possible), but the title not about the be searched for, and the album has the same name. -R. fiend 22:53, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete almost a speedy candidate with its lack on content. Non notable song. JamesBurns 01:15, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • It IS a rather notable song, actually. The fact of the matter is that the article fails to show notability...or much of anything else. Mike H 03:54, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: I rewrote it with my extremely limited knowledge of the band and Google. No vote from me though, since I'm still pretty "meh" about it. ~~Shiri — Talk~~ 05:40, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as rewritten, thanks Shirimasen. Kappa 14:02, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and move to Toxicity (single) or some such name since its about the Single-release and not the song itself. Whether the song is notable or not is questionable but the single release was a chart-topper for a LONG TIME and is therefore notable in itself, so keep. -CunningLinguist 23:13, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • As songs are generally more notable than singles, I would say that the article should be made more about the song and moved to the "(song)" title, with information on the single included (this seems to be how most songs are handled). Otherwise I can imagine someone writing a separate Toxicity (song) article, arguing that it's different from Toxicity (single) because one is about the song and the other about the single. In fact, if there were an Ashlee Simpson single, that probably would have happened already. -R. fiend 14:37, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh, and move to Toxicity (song). Song is significantly better known than its limited single release. --Kiand 15:59, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
