[edit] Canadian Idiot

Was not released as a single and is non-notable. Joltman 15:29, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Ya its not a single yet. Its a valid track on the CD. Koolgiy 18:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I know it's a valid track, I've heard it, but the fact that it exists is not enough to get its own article. And for it not being a single yet, we have no idea if it will be. Joltman 23:06, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. If it's not a single yet, it might never be in the future, and if as the entry says, "little information is available", then why write an entry ? Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Plus what makes this song notable enough to have its own entry in the first place ? Equendil Talk 20:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Recreate if it is released as a single. Resolute 22:14, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • DeleteYa good idea. There shouldn't be an article for a song, that hasn't been released for a single yet. Even if its on the CD. Koolgiy 03:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Individual album tracks are not usually notable. --keepsleeping slack off! 23:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Why delete an article on a song which is going to be released in a few days?--HamedogTalk|@ 10:00, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as above. Gazpacho 17:53, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep It's out now, we might as well keep it and let people add stuff to it, rather than some fan coming on, only to found out he can't add anything due to this being deleted.--D'Argent 20:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Straight Outta Lynwood. Not a single Will (Glaciers melting in the dead of night) 20:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep As per D'Argent Killswitch Engage
  • Keep Weird Al songs. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete If this article could be expanded beyond a stub, perhaps it could be kept. But as it stands, I don't think there's a sufficient amount of information on this non-single album track to justify it getting its own page. There's no information here that isn't already on the Straight Outta Lynwood page. --Mikibacsi1124
  • Delete and recreate if it is released as a single per Resolute. I'm a weird al fan, but if this does not fit notability rules, it shouldn't be an article. --WillMak050389 23:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 00:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with Straight Outta Lynwood. As much as I'd like to see the article stay, there currently isn't enough to warrent it. JQF 23:22, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Why not? Wikipedia takes itself too seriously as it is. RMc 00:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect to the album page M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 03:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge/redirect to the album. If it gets released as a single, it will almost certainly become notable. Not just right now, though. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 04:47, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not every albumtrack deserves its own article, only if it has any significance. If is released in the future however, I say keep. --Soetermans 13:16, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep the song has been released, plenty of other songs have articles for their respective albums, just because you havent heard it, does not make it notable.Barcode 15:00, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
No, the song has not been released. The album has been released, and the song is to be found therein. There's no indication that it will be released as a single as yet, although there's also no indication that it won't be. The argument that other albums have articles on every song (which I assume is what you're saying) isn't particularly relevant - partly because the fact that other articles of a certain type exist doesn't mean that any specific article of that type needs to exist and also because the albums which have longer articles (bear in mind this is a stub at best) on each one of their songs do so because they're highly significant albums like Dark Side Of The Moon. Al's latest may well become similarly significant, but give it about 30 years or so before it is. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 22:52, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
