[edit] Fog (song)
Article fails to establish notability. Not a single, not a hit, nor notable. Those few sentences could possibly be merged with the Knives Out article. JamesBurns 05:15, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- On what criteria do you believe this song should be kept? JamesBurns 05:46, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I said either keep it or merge it. I have no particular preference as long as the content is preserved. Anyway, you're the one who has to justify deletion. Your justification is that it's not notable. Well, it's a song by a very famous and successful band. By my personal definition, that's on the borderline of notability for an individual article but unquestionably notable enough for inclusion somewhere. Everyking 06:54, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Just because the band maybe notable does not mean that the song is. Another way of looking at it, is that the VfD is for the song not the band. By your definition any "B-side" track (which is essentially what this song is) would be deemed notable - sorry but I won't buy into that argument. JamesBurns 08:24, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I don't understand your argument, I don't think. Are you saying you don't think this info is notable enough to be worth including anywhere on WP? I mean, initially you suggested a merge. And a merge would be fine with me. But so would a keep, since I expect a reasonable amount could be written about this song and I'm sure a large number of people are familiar with it. I have no preference. Everyking 08:34, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- No, what I am suggesting is that it should be merged, as I have suggested, not kept as a seperate article. It has insufficient notability to warrant a seperate article. JamesBurns 08:40, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Merge individual songs (unless exceptionally notable, which this one is not). Radiant! 09:22, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

- Merge. I agree with Radiant. Even the "keep" voters have not provided any evidence of notability beyond that of its artist. WP is not a music compendium or music review site. Barno 16:19, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Merge. And be bold. You don't need to come to VfD for permission to merge and redirect. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 18:58, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
