per WP:Music

Most songs do not merit an article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for a prominent album or for the artist who wrote or prominently performed the song. Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. A separate article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album.

• Strong Keep By a very notable artist, legotech probally hasn't even read WP:Music [The Spooky One] | ^{[t c r]} 04:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC).
• Merge into How Far Shallow Takes You (however that's up for AfD too, but will likely be kept because it was released on a notable record label by a notable band). Does the nominator have a point or something in these several Gob related AfDs? Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 20:02, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I'd be careful about accusing anyone of disrupting WP to make a point. The "point" of all of these was that the author was WP:OWNing the articles and the prod was contested and any merge or redirect would have been reverted by the fan. So, I was not trying to disrupt anything, but deal with things that should be gone in the approved manner. LegoTech·(t)·(c) 21:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but nomming several items very similar to each other makes it seem like you had some sort of vendetta. That isn't the case according to your post, which is a good thing. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 07:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Correction: It DOES seem to be the case. You appear to have not grasped the idea of WP:MUSIC. The single is by a notable band and issued on Nettwerk Records, a notable independent record label. Which meets two critereon of WP:MUSIC. You don't have to meet every single criterion of WP:MUSIC for something to be notable. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 15:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

So this bit doesn't matter for songs, just everything else in WP?

Like I said, a merge into How Far Shallow Takes You (now that it's been kept) would be reasonable. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 15:01, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
