Delete as a non-plausible search term, fails notability per WP:MUSIC#Songs. No awards, no chart, no covers, no WP:RS. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 02:20, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect to Roxy Music (album). Useful information could be lost if simply deleted. Anyone who is aware of Wikipedia's WP:DAB or WP:MUSTARD#Disambiguation guidelines may use this is a search term. --JD554 (talk) 09:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Namesake for the very notable band Ladytron.[1]. The Times calls it one of Roxy Music's "best loved songs."[2]--Oakshade (talk) 10:35, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Could the article be expanded beyond a stub with multiple reliable sources discussing the song in detail? These are the requirements of WP:NSONGS. If so, I'll happily change my !vote to keep. --JD554 (talk) 10:48, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - The article already appears beyond the scope of "stub" and there are literally thousands of more song articles that are much smaller than this and without references that are valid stubs. Not all articles need to be as long as World War II --Oakshade (talk) 18:55, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Oakshade and also partly from pragmatism/consistency: the rest of the songs on the album have their own articles; either most should go or all should stay - I can't see that this is any less notable than any of the others. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 22:43, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Even with Oakshade's addition of a personnel section, the article is still a stub and I remain to be convinced it can be expanded beyond one. Just because other songs, which may or may not be notable, have an article is neither here nor there as this AfD is about Ladytron (song) and any other non-notable songs may be deleted/redirected in the future. --JD554 (talk) 09:17, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not only does this article seem already beyond the scope of "stub", evidenced by too much topic-specific content in this one to be merged to Roxy Music (album)), but there is no banning of short articles or ones that don't have apparent potential to be long ones.--Oakshade (talk) 22:29, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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