Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mystery song

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was DELETE. Among those more established and in less of a hurry, there is a clear enough position to delete. The fact that this came and went well inside the timescale of this AfD is compelling by itself. Wikipedia is not a collection of transient ephemera that cause a ripple for a few hours. That is why the rest of the internet sucks, and Wikipedia doesn't, to bend a phrase. -Splashtalk 22:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mystery song

  ATTENTION!

If you came to this page because a friend asked you to do so, or because you saw a message on an online forum asking you to do so, please note that the deletion process is designed to determine the consensus of opinion of Wikipedia editors; for this reason comments from users whose histories do not show experience with or contributions to Wikipedia, and particularly, to this article, are traditionally given less weight and may be discounted entirely by the closing Administrator.

You are not barred from participating in the discussion, or making your opinion known here, no matter how new you may be: we welcome reasoned opinions and rational discussion based upon our policies and guidelines. However, ballot stuffing is pointless. There is no ballot to stuff, because this is not a vote. Please review Wikipedia:Deletion policy for more information.

Please sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end. Happy editing!

This must be one of the strangest incomplete AfD nominations I've ever seen before... the article had a note saying "This article is currently being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion process", but no link to a discussion, and the notice read nothing else -- anyways, here it is now, and I don't think anything that was created yesterday should have its own article on Wikipedia, unless it's notable enough to make the main page's "In the News" section, in which case there wouldn't be any argument anyways.

Keep. At least until we know what song it is and where it came from. Kevomatic 14:05, 25 May 2006

Keep or merge I'd say keep it and expand upon it, or merge it with the YTMND main article. It's a surprisingly fast spreading fad, I think it may be worthy of expansion. R.E. Freak 19:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge into YTMND. The subject is absolutely not notable enough to have its own article, but I can see it being part of the main YTMND page. -- Kicking222 19:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Not particularly notable YTMND thing. WP is not a directory for YTMND. Wickethewok 19:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep it. People need to know that Wikipedia doesn't know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.66.191.3 (talk • contribs)
  • Delete per Wickethewok. Angr (t • c) 20:39, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Also - I think your mystery song was solved anyway.... Wickethewok 22:09, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete because who cares. Danny Lilithborne 22:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Until the song is found, then merge to the YTMND article. Just since you may not care doesn't mean an ENTIRE community would like to figure it out. DarkZealot89 19:50, 25 May 2006
    • Comment - It was found already, and thats a bad reason to keep an article... Wickethewok 00:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Now Merge Ok Found, so now merge it as a fad into the ytmnd page.
  • Delete per nom. There's no page for That's the beauty of it. It doesn't do anything. after all. Шизомби 00:09, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Why not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.75.203 (talk • contribs)
  • SAVE WIKIPEDIA IS THE FREE ENCYLOPEIDA. NOT THE FREE NOT ENCYCLOPEDIA!
  • Keep because it's a part of internet culture 12.219.74.52 02:37, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • merge merge it into other YTMND article
  • Keep or merge into the List of YTMND fads, 'cause it would make a lot more sense, while keeping it online. -Dancing-is-Forbidden DiF39 02:48, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - This article's an absolute hash of silly vandalism right now. If it's kept, I'd suggest someone revert it to something that's actually coherent. (I can't find a version that fits that criteria, but someone might.) Tony Fox 02:56, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or Merge - Delete for the same reason as Wicketthewok mentionned, or Merge into the YTMND article...--mimithebrain 03:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or Merge Not notable really, at best merge with YTMND as its a fad for YTMND fans. Kevin Breitenstein 03:42, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's another YTMND fad, which has no signifigence or meaning outside of YTMND. If it becomes a hall of fame YTMND, then maybe we can give it a sentence at the YTMND article. Otherwise, this belongs at www.ytmnd.com/wiki/ YTMND wiki. --LBMixPro<Speak|on|it!> 05:10, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete without Merge nn Bwithh 05:43, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per LBMixPro. --Metropolitan90 06:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
    • By the way, in case this winds up as a merge, it might be nice to say what the song turned out to be, since the article claims that the song has been identified but still doesn't provide the identification. --Metropolitan90 02:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
      • For the record, after the AfD closed, it was revealed that the song was "Answers" by Vigilante. --Metropolitan90 03:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per LBMixPro. Reyk YO! 02:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete omg what a crap!  Grue  17:20, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with YTMND article as a fad. Edit the article, before merging, to say the song was identified. --Farae 01:45, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and do not merge, as the List of YTMND fads article is nonexistant, and specific fads are not mentioned under YTMND#Fads and memes. That is what ytmnd.com/wiki/index.php/Fads this is for. -Whomp 20:06, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Retitle or put some where on internet phenomenon--The_stuart 01:57, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
