[edit] Yellow Submarine (song)

Yellow Submarine (song) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is actually an object lesson in demonstrating that separate notability guidelines for songs are, in fact, needed. Technically, this, as written, does not demonstrate itself as meeting the general notability guidelines, but I find it hard to argue that the song is not actually notable. So, I'm throwing out that it should be deleted as the rules stand--which is true--and seeing what comes of it. Devilot 22:33, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

• So basically this is a WP:Point nomination? Garion96 (talk) 22:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep So the #1s and #2s in the article don't show its notability? This is insane to nom. this. Reywas92^Talk 22:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep Blatantly notable, although that's never stopped the deletebots before. --JayHenry 22:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

• • I apologize. I've mostly done minor edits and added a few significant stubs/redirects. I've never done anything this major before, and wasn't aware of the policy-formation-related rules of Wikipedia. I'm fairly certain it's considered bad form to just erase an AfD nomation, so I'd like to petition for it to be closed. I will look for the proper place to state my case, rather than try to demonstrate the veracity of it directly. Quite honestly, I agree that it's blatantly noteable, but I've seen the argument 'there aren't multiple independent articles written with it as the primary subject' used to label songs not-notable so many times before that I wanted to somehow bring up the obvious point that articles aren't often written about songs, no matter how blatantly noteable they are. Uncertain of the 'proper' forum, I went for the first one I could think of. It was an ill-advised decision, but I wanted to get the topic out there somehow. Devilot 22:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
