The result was Procedural close. This is a relist of a 11-year old mal-formed nomination. The title is not an article, but a redirect. AFD is wrong venue and I see no reason to list at RFD. (non-admin closure) MB 15:14, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without prejudice to future re-creation. If anyone has the time and inclination to create a WP article of this topic it's a go but what this is is a personal essay full or error, irrelevant specious observations and a meaningless string of chord names which serves no purpose. Article must establish notability and use reliable sources not vague personal opinion. BTW the tune is not Old Time is a a contemporary written tune and the article doesn't even credit the author of the tune.

Relevant Wikipedia guidelines:

- Most songs[note 5] do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who 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 independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside, a separate article on a song 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. If the artist associated with the work does not have an article, or if the artist's article has already been deleted, an article about a musical recording that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant is eligible for speedy deletion under criterion A9.
