[edit] Down by The Sea

I'm nominating this article for deletion because I feel it is non-notable. Although the specific terms for notability have not yet been clearly defined by WikiProject Songs, I cannot find any reason for Down by The (sic) Sea to be given a separate article. It's already mentioned in the album article Business as Usual and there isn't much to say beyond that.

As far as I can tell, Down by the Sea was a minor non-hit song that was grossly overshadowed by Down Under, which is a good example of a notable song that deserves its own page. - D. Wu 15:02, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete — NN with little content. — RJH 15:31, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Real song, maybe it could be expanded to include other songs by that title. I know there's one by Saint Etienne, which was remixed by Psychonauts and others. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:48, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete preferably, or merge if anyone has anything useful (and there isn't such now as is) to add to the album article. --Icelight 20:22, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non notable. Gateman1997 21:01, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: If it's iconic and notable, may I request that the article be updated to include that evidence? I couldn't find anything beyond lyrics through Google, with the exception of an amazon review that mentioned the song was a non-hit. -D. Wu 21:28, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Whoops, got it confused with "Down by the Bay". My bad.Gateman1997 21:39, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Apart from the lyrics, which we can't include, what is there to say about the last track on Men at Work's popular 1980 album Business as usual? Down Under, the group's most notable song, is a much better candidate for fame, because you could pad the article out with information about Vegemite, Combi vans, the word "chunder", weather patterns, chart statistics etc. But this, no.-Ashley Pomeroy 21:56, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete (Where are the prawns?) Grutness...wha? 01:58, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This song wasn't released as a single or achieved any other form of notability. Capitalistroadster 02:05, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Move (changed) I've never heard of them myself, is it a good example of the bands work and are there any other good examples of this bands work that could be merged? Alf 19:18, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Looking at the album page I suggest both be moved there. Alf 19:20, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
