[edit] Comet (song)

Comet (song) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable children's song. No chance of passing WP:MUSIC ;). Google search reveals that the song exists, but no one has ever thought to write about it before. -- Mark Chovain 21:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Withdrawn - new source is great. -- Mark Chovain 03:50, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Non-notable and possible POV. --DA PIE EATER (talk) 22:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
    • POV? What? What point of view is being advanced here? Ford MF (talk) 03:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable, possibly OR.Renee (talk) 01:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
    • What exactly is OR about it? Ford MF (talk) 03:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment The WP:Music standard for songs does not work well with songs passed through the oral tradition. There have been several scholarly works that deal with children's "folk" songs, especially "subversive" songs. A search on Google scholar for "makes your teeth turn green" does generate two hits. If this deleted it should be without prejudice for recreation if a sourced version with essentially the same content is recreated. Dsmdgold (talk) 14:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete No reliable sources for this song. None of the sources talks specifically about the song. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The first source is convincing enough for me. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 03:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Referenced and catalogued by notable publications. WP:MUSIC does not deal with folklore well, but that's a failing of MUSIC, not of this article. Ford MF (talk) 03:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment. I'd also like to note the circumstances of the extension of this AfD. After the previous contributors had voted "Delete", and while I was editing the article to put in appropriate refs, the article was in fact deleted by User:King of Hearts, who relisted it after I recreated it. Ford MF (talk) 03:18, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, well-known song, now with reference (thanks FMF). NawlinWiki (talk) 03:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep passes WP:Music#Songs. More than enough "verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article"  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 03:51, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
