Three articles about songs by the same artist, none of which have any strong claim to passing WP:NSONGS or any strong reliable source coverage about them. None of these songs did anything special to establish them as notable, such as charting or winning music awards -- and the references here are not about the songs as songs, but merely namecheck their existence in the process of being fundamentally about the entire albums they come from. This is not how you make a song notable enough to have its own standalone article separately from being mentioned in the album's article: songs are not automatically entitled to have standalone articles just because they exist, but must have an actual notability claim and reliable source coverage that singles the songs out for dedicated attention.

Delete. Fails NSONGs and GNG. One article has four sources, which may be enough for GNG, but the sources are really covering the album Strange Prison which already covers the two songs. That article may itself be a candidate for merging. No useful info in these to merge, totally implausible redirects. These song articles and the album article are really just bits from Astral Swans and are (pretty much) a walled garden. Strange Prison for example is linked from these three songs, Astral Swans, another album by Astral, 2018 in Canadian music and the producer's article. Controls is linked from Strange prison, Astral Swan, and the producer. Maybe Leave an entry at the Control dab linking to Astral Swans. Hydromania (talk) 03:28, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
