[edit] Metalingus (song)

Metalingus (song) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable songs per Wikipedia:Notability (music), None of them have been released as singles and being released only on a CD only doesn't cut it. These articles make absolutely no assertion of notability except for the fact that a wrestler uses the song for his entrance. Just because, say... the New York Rangers, come out to a certain song every game doesn't mean the song warrants its own article if that is the only thing the song is notable for, which is the case with these two articles. More useful information about the songs is already found in the wrestlers' articles. Aside from the issue of notability, these articles are also poorly sourced and contain a lot of Original Research. -- bulletproof ^3:16 06:17, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page for the same reasons:

Line in the Sand (song) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• Comment Where in Wikipedia:Notability (music) does it say that a song has to be a single for it to have an article? I'm not saying these are notable or non-notable, but if every article of a song that wasn't a single was deleted, we would lose a lot of articles on Wikipedia. — The Future 06:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

• I think the point is that for a single, you can at least argue for some semblance of notability based on chart records, whereas for any other song where the only information is "Foo is a song on the album Bar" (plus, in this case, "Foo is used for a wrestler's intro") there's very little you can extract notability from. Certainly songs that haven't been released as singles but which have other claims to fame would have no problem (for example, Helter Skelter). Confusing Manifestation 02:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

• My point is that 3bulletproof16 claimed "being released only on a CD only doesn't cut it", but in reality, it can, because policy doesn't dictate that only singles get articles. All articles on songs have to show some notablilty. If a song is notable and isn't a single, it won't just say "Foo is a song on the album Bar", if it does then it needs to be deleted, or redirected. — The Future 20:37, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete This is OR. I do not believe the song to be notable. the_undertow ^talk
• Reluctant "Delete". I agree with The Future; just because it wasn't a single doesn't make a song non-notable. However, Metalingus isn't really notable for anything other than Edge's theme music. Otherwise, it'd be a different story. fhb3 11:42, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I say they're very notable. They should be kept. --Maestro25 18:50, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
