[edit] Forty Six & 2

Song does not meet WP:MUSIC standards for notability. Suggest text be incorporated into the article for whatever album it's on. Klaw ¡digame! 03:29, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. Depending on what happens to this article, the stub Forty six & 2 should probably be changed to a redirect either to Forty Six & 2 or to the album Ænima. Until the larger article's fate is determined, it's hard to be sure which way, though. TheIncredibleEdibleOompaLoompa 05:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Ænima. Movementarian 08:19, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and improve. Notable single by a notable band, reaching #22 on the Modern Rock Tracks in 1997 off of an album that sold over 3 million copies. Song is actually rather interesting in itself, interspersing Jungian theory w/genetics and god knows what else. --badlydrawnjeff 01:06, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - I have cleaned up the article and added more information about the song. For a better idea of how...bizarre...this song is, take a look at the article for their album Lateralus, as some of the recurring themes of that later album come around in this song. --badlydrawnjeff 21:04, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment My understanding of Wikipedia guidelines is that songs generally don't merit their own articles. See WP:MUSIC and the Proposed notability guidelines for songs. As I said above, a merge into its album (apparently Ænima) would be justified. | Klaw ¡digame! 22:52, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Notable songs, especially released singles, have precedent in terms of them having individual articles. I'm not entirely sure I'd vote keep on all Tool songs, or even all Tool singles, but a quick look at a variety of similar modern rock hits brings a similar situation. Even then, I'm likely to go over to the proposed guidelines and put up a little fuss over anything that would keep us from having notable songs like this listed. --badlydrawnjeff 03:36, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep chartings song and per jeff. Kappa 06:10, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
