Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suzy Parker (Beatles 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The result of the debate was WITHDRAWN by nominator (me). There's clearly no deletion concensus emerging. Largely as a result of this nomination, WikiProject The Beatles has been formed, with the consolidation and tidying of articles such as thing a high priority. I will therefore withdraw and close this nomination and we can deal with it over there. kingboyk 23:04, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suzy Parker (Beatles Song)

Article was PRODded but the tag was removed. A non notable song. Yes, I know it's by the Beatles but it didn't even make it to the Anthology compilations of outtakes. Merge or Delete. kingboyk 17:11, 1 March 2006 (UTC) Changed to merge or delete. --kingboyk 15:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

  • As nominator I am leaning towards a merge into a new list or overview article. Can interested parties let themselves be known, and if any suitable merge articles are found list them here or in another suitable venue. --kingboyk 20:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep OK, you just want to delete an article. That´s really funny :-). Good luck. (even a bad Beatles song is a Beatles song and therefore interesting) Greetings 17:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.93.60.106 (talk • contribs) .
  • Keep. Beatles.Herostratus 17:54, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Beatles. Listen, I like the Beatles (and I'm one of the few Wikipedia editors who can say they've been on national TV talking about them) but do we need an article on an unreleased nonsense song?! --kingboyk 18:01, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keap per above. Staecker 18:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, no reason to deny wikipedia users information about this song. Kappa 18:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Can't argue with that logic. I maintain that it's quite a hopeless article, however. How about collecting all of these (as I'm sure there are others out there) in something like Beatles unreleased songs or Beatles outtakes? Another option, given it's apparent inclusion in the film Let It Be, is to merge it to Let It Be (film) which is currently a (promising) stub and which could use some padding. --kingboyk 19:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • It would seem out of place in a stub about the film, but the suggestion of somewhere like Beatles unreleased songs might be reasonable. Kappa 19:07, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • OK. If anyone finds similar candidates (and/or an existant page which we could merge to) please advise. --kingboyk 19:13, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Early Lennon/McCartney songs. I'd forgotten about this one, but it just sprang up on my watchlist. Some more candidates for a Beatles unreleased songs article? --kingboyk 03:59, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to Let It Be (album). Never released officially, and the article doesn't suggest that the song is notable for any other reason than "it's by the Beatles". No recording act should have articles dedicated to every one of their songs, and the article on this one is only a paragraph long anyway. Extraordinary Machine 19:08, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge or delete -- not sure what to merge it to, but I don't think this song deserves an article. Tuf-Kat 19:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge or delete. Songs should not have articles unless they are notable in and of themselves --Cymsdale 20:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to Let It Be (album) or Let It Be (film). Regardless of being recorded by The Beatles, it fails WP:MUSIC/SONG - Rynne 20:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with Beatles bootlegs. The criterion for Beatles tracks as stand alone articles should be the same as for other artists namely is it a significant single or album track. Is there enough verifiable material to justify a standalone article? My position on this track is that there isn't. Capitalistroadster 23:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment A List of unreleased songs by The Beatles would be useful, allowing a paragraph each on such songs as this one. Grutness...wha? 01:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per Extraordinary Machine. COncur with Gruntness on the list comment. MLA 09:53, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
btw.:The Beatles have dedicated a song to (former) American beauty Suzy Parker, who could be their mother...... For me that´s significant enough.Greetings to Kingboyk from Berlin. :-) 20:04, 2 March 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.93.60.106 (talk • contribs) .
  • Of course some of the songs listed on your external link have now been published. I take the point though and am more than happy for the all the stubby, low quality articles on unreleased/minor release Beatles songs to be collected into one article. Go for it. --kingboyk 20:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into List of minor Beatles songs. BD2412 T 02:50, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into either a list of minors, or into the Let It Be article (whichever makes most sense)... Lets not lose the content though, with an outright delete. (normally I'd vote keep but I see the argument here) Shameless plug: Interested editors might want to consider joining WikiProject The Beatles, which got started partly as a result of discussion about this very article. ++Lar: t/c 22:28, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
