Floods (Fightstar song)[edit]

A song by a band I've never heard of. We need to stop these people from making pages for songs. The band itself may or may not be notable, the article makes reference to future events too. SolidPlaid 07:49, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've tidied it up now, please take a look. I think reference to future events is fine if it's sourced and not just all wild predictions. It needs some sources added, definitely. As for notability, the band itself is definitely notable in the UK and I would think that the song is notable too, esp. if it was cancelled as their first song from the new album because of the UK floods. That makes it slightly unusual (I agree that there doesn't need to be an article for every song in the world). changed mind, see below KZF ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - just because you havn't hear of them does not make them not notable. Fosnez 09:38, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Even if the band is notable, no citations indicationg notability of the song appear on the page, even after "tidying up". Who cares if a weather event caused a delay anyway? The song is not notable. SolidPlaid 10:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a source on the article; personally I would like to see another before a "future single" warrants an article. John Vandenberg 10:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

haha, i never said i'd added any citations, i just did some "tidying up" and then told you about it. KZF ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:20, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:MUSIC (though I realise that those are only proposed guidelines). the band is notable (I guess), but that doesn't mean that every song they ever record should get an article on Wikipedia. One mention in Kerrang! doesn't appear to be enough to be notable, IMO. Lilac Soul ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 14:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or source and merge into main band/album article. Jakew 16:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Non-noteable single. Bravedog 17:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the band's article; if it becomes a single, and it becomes a huge smash hit, then maybe it'd be worth an article of its own - right now, it's not notable enough for it. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Delete - i briefly googled the song and there's hardly any info on it apart from lyrics, so i'd say merge or delete. the song is actually already mentioned on the band's article anyway. KZF ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:20, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
