The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. I'm amending my earlier decision, because for some reason I didn't read the debate properly and rather miscounted. -Splash^talk 22:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Society (song)

Too coherent to be patent nonsense, too obvious to be original research. But says nothing, and anyway it isn't a song.DS 14:14, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - nonsense all the same. CLW 14:41, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
• It is a song. I haven't found out what chart positions the single reached. Weak Keep. Uncle G 14:59:31, 2005-09-09 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. Sandstein 15:12, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I like Pennywise, and I know this song, but I can't see any reason for it having its own article. Punkmorten 20:59, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
• comment I could find the song, a video to download but nowhere that mentions its release as a single. Alf ^melmac 21:53, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Our article on Pennywise mentions it. It's in the list of singles given in that article. Uncle G 00:25:35, 2005-09-10 (UTC)
    • Having thought about this further, there were enough articles which 'eulogised' this particular song on the internet, whether or not it was actually released as a single: Weak Keep as a song that has impacted our culture enough. Alf ^melmac 09:54, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. My recollection is that this was a single. According to Allmusic.com, the single did not chart in the US - the band has had two singles make the Billboard modern rock tracks chart but this wasn't one of them. The album as a whole performed reasonably well reaching #79 on the Billboard charts according to their allmusic.com article. [1].

One of the reasons that allmusic.com is an invaluable resource is that it lists chart performance in the Billboard charts in their band and album articles. It did reach #90 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 1997 chart of alternative rock tracks in Australia. After all this, I would vote to merge with the Full Circle article except we don't seem to have one. Merge with Full Circle (1997 album).Capitalistroadster 13:35, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Very few songs need their own articles. This is not one of them. / Peter ^Isotalo 17:25, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• keep or merge, single by notable band. Kappa
