I redirect this from Psywar (Mayhem song) because it had unnecessary disambuiguition in it’s name, then I tried to look for sources, but only found two who are talking about this song, Blabbermouth and Loudwire, wich are notable, but only two. That’s why I nominated this for deletion, lack of notability. ~SML • TP 18:17, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to respective album, Esoteric Warfare. - Sources confirm that it was a single, so its a plausible search term, but the sources say very little on the song itself, and the article says very little about the song. It doesn't appeared to have charted either, so it's best as a redirect and can be covered at the album article. Sergecross73 msg me 20:08, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, agree. But Serge, you may want to delete the redirect that leads to the song. ~SML • TP 22:20, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, three sources are good enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sixty Minute Limit (talk • contribs) 10:44, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I have restored nom's initial "redirect" !vote posted in Special:Diff/851666247/851666718 and signed and amended in the subsequent Special:Diff/851666718/851682285, and I have added a {{subst:unsigned}} to the above "keep" !vote as it utilized a timestamp from yesterday, cf. WP:TPO. Nom is free to strike the the redirect !vote per WP:REDACTED. Please be aware that the third source, added by me, that now is used to argue a keep, is merely confirming that "psywar" is shorthand for "psycological warfare" and says nothing about the single.

Redirect as a categorized {{R from song}} to the album article Esoteric Warfare, it does not meet WP:NSONGS. Our deletion policy aks us to consider alternatives to deletion. Articles about song and singles, when found not to meet NSONGS, can often uncontroversially be boldly blanked and redirected per WP:ATD-R to typically an album article. As this June 2018 discussion concluded, that should be attempted before a challenged redirect may merit a discussion at AFD.
As nominator correctly notices, Psywar (Mayhem song) was an unnecessary disambuiguition, in which case we WP:MOVE the article to Psywar (song). Here, the article was cut-pasted, so I have asked for a WP:HISTMERGE.
Nom asks Serge to consider deletion of the redirect Psywar (Mayhem song), but it should simply be categorized as a {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}. (The script Sagittarius+ can be useful.) Sam Sailor 12:22, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
