[edit] Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)

Delete. The article is not only factually bare, but also seems to be a mockery of the song. It provides no real information as to the nature of the song, its recording, and its significance. Although it does outline the "plot", the song really doesn't have much of a story. As such, an entire page devoted to the "story" is an insignificant waste of space.WalkinDownThirtyThree 16:05, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• All those seem to be arguments that the article should be cleaned, not deleted. It doesn't look like you're saying this is a bad topic for a song. Keep, but I could well change my mind if people present some arguments as to why this is a bad topic for an article. Meelar (talk) 19:30, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC) Pretty definite keep, if it was a hit single. Meelar (talk) 00:00, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, and add some context. This was a hit single, or at least a single. "waste of space" doesn't really apply to wikipedia, something like "would disappoint anyone who found it" might apply though. Kappa 19:46, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Seems to be one of the "Rock 'N Roll Hall Of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock And Roll" [1]. Kappa 01:21, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Eh, I see what you're saying. Perhaps I was just so disgusted with the stupidity of what was written that I acted irrationally. Perhaps I'll write the new article myself! --24.55.187.176 02:28, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Notable song as part of Springsteen's live show as well as classic rock song. Capitalistroadster 03:35, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Basically just a paraphrase of the song's lyrics, which it doesn't even quote correctly ("mama's reins, not mama's reign, geez). --Dcfleck 11:50, 2005 Apr 27 (UTC)
• Keep. I've been slowly expanding the Springsteen content on WikiPedia and will add this to my list. JnB987 15:09, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
