[edit] Blue Shoes

Blue Shoes (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This is a badly written page for a song (not a single) on one album by one artist. Not notable enough. Philip Stevens 13:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - not worth it's own article. Mrjeff 13:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article needs to be rewritten, but I don't think it needs to be deleted. If so, then you might as well take time to delete all the other articles dedicated to individual songs. Anthony Rupert 14:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Individual songs are notable if they were released as singles. Punkmorten 15:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but Wikify - If you look at the rest of the songs on the album (see Piece by Piece (album), they are well written... this just needs to be written to the same standard as the remaining songs. Jazznutuva 14:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete Completely fails Wikipedia:Notability (songs) and is an uninformative stub that is unlikely to be expanded. If it fails the notability guidelines for songs, it has to be deleted. Furthermore, a song being a single is NOT enough to justify keeping an article. In response to Anthony; the fact that other articles dedicated to individual songs exist has no bearing on this particular afd; a lot of those articles need to be deleted as well and will be in time, some do deserve to stay because they pass the notability guidelines. --The Way 15:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per User:The Way. Punkmorten 15:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, eight of her other songs have pages, in fact "Nine Million Bicycles" is a WP:Good article. If those songs can have pages why can't this one? Hera1187 16:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete NN. Also, who cares if other songs have articles? Completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand. /Blaxthos 16:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Any information needed should be in the album page. Unless this was a charting single, which it isn't, then it should be deleted. - hahnchen 17:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable song, only singles that have charted should have articles. --E ivind t@c 19:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. "Blue Shoes" is a good but non-notable album track, and there's no useful content in this article that could be merged. The existence of other articles on songs recorded by Melua isn't really relevant here, because the songs a) were released as singles, which makes them at least somewhat notable, and/or b) they are already-famous songs that Melua has covered. Another issue is that the Piece by Piece (album) article is rather short as it is right now, which is rather odd given that we have five articles on the singles. I personally would rather have efforts put on expanding album articles to a decent size rather than spreading information about the songs across several separate articles.

  • Delete, charted single should be minimum qualification. Deizio talk 21:39, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Georgia (country)-related deletions. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 21:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment There are a number of artists that have articles for non-single songs, such as The Beatles and The Smashing Pumpkins. Danny Lilithborne 23:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Very good point. Anthony Rupert 05:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Comment - I'd be leery of any rationale implying that a relatively new act has notability comparable to the musical act that sold more records, tapes, and CDs than any other in recorded history. B.Wind 05:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Article fails to assert notability under any of the (proposed) criteria at WP:SINGLE. —ShadowHalo 23:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete , not notable -- Steve Hart 11:47, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
