[edit] Estonia (song)

I don't see the point of this article. The story behind the song is already covered in the article about the album it's on. Other than that, nothing notable is said about the song, it's not even a single. kate theobaldy 09:00, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

What a silly reason to want to keep an article... Do you have any arguments other than that? kate theobaldy 11:44, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect per WP:MUSIC. The song itself is not notable, the album is. MartinDK 09:23, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per above. --Phoenix (talk) 16:22, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per above. I'd also suggest that calling a deletion rationale which is explained quite well "silly" isn't a great way to win friends and influence people. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 03:08, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Mmm, I'm not quite sure it's a good idea to create redirect pages for any song on any album. Creating this one would also justify redirects from Man Of A Thousand Faces (song), One Fine Day (Marillion song), 80 Days (song), Memory Of Water (song)... (you get the idea). Still, I'll be fine with a redirect, so I'm going to create one because there seems to be an overwhelming consensus. (I don't know if I'm formally allowed to do this, if not, please undo this). kate theobaldy 08:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

The procedure regarding this kind of thing is normally that if someone ends up creating an article on any of those other songs you've named, they can be redirected/AfD'd as appropriate, the logic being that clearly someone's searched for the song in question, so we can point them to the album where the song appears. Only very rarely does every song on an album end up with an article (and even then it's normally an album like "Dark Side of the Moon"), so there's no particular need to worry at the moment about what might happen down the line.

Agree with the above. It doesn't necessitate the creation of those redirects, but they should be created if someone decides go create an article there, because it might mean ths song is nearly notable enough for one. --Phoenix (talk) 17:56, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
