[edit] Man of the hour

The lyrics being copywrited, I think this is all there is to say on the topic, meaning it'll stay a stub (or substub, depending on how you look at it) permanently. --InShaneee 22:18, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• (expanded) Keep hit singles and otherwise successful songs. Other things it could mention include chart success or lack thereof, the lyrics supposedly repeated from other songs, and what kind of deal it has with amazon.com (it's an "amazon exclusive", apparently). Kappa 23:49, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Song by major band that was the end title song of a major movie, led to a Golden Globe nomination, and was a single. If we believe songs are ever deserving of their own entries (and I think previous decisions show we do) then I think this one is. Keep. (And thanks for expansion, User:Kappa).

• Delete, the single is only available from selected websites - restricting it's potential for notability. I suspect within a few months this song will be largely forgotten by the masses, consigning it to a brief footnote in music history. "Man of the Hour" lost out to Annie Lennox's "Into the West".

  • Some might say that being the first single released entirely outside the usual label machinery by this major band - perhaps the first 'Big Name' band to deliberately opt out of the label system in favour of direct internet sales - made it particularly' notable.... TSP 14:24, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. Trilobite (Talk) 10:14, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Songs nominated in major awards are notable. Capitalistroadster 10:30, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - David Gerard 23:17, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, spurious notability. JamesBurns 09:08, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, was nominated for a Golden Globe, notable enough. -- Riffsyphon1024 09:11, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
