Merge to Bauhaus discography, where strangely it isn't currently mentioned. --Michig (talk) 06:00, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've added sourced content about the single to the article (from a book that includes a complete Bauhaus discography), and added the single to the discography article as well. Still can't figure out if this is notable or not; if it got significant news coverage, it would have been three decades ago when it was released, which makes it hard to find now -- Foetusized (talk) 13:08, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Just found out why this isn't listed in the band discography -- diff -- which also makes the argument against merging this article to the discography. The song itself is important enough that as a non-LP song, it has been included in such greatest hits collections as 1979–1983 and Crackle – The Best of Bauhaus, but because it was first released as a fan-club only single, it can't have an article nor be mentioned in the discography. Don't you just love Wikipedia logic? -- Foetusized (talk) 23:29, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Even fan club releases, if officially released, belong in a discography. --Michig (talk) 05:07, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This was an un-albumed single, and should have its own article for completeness' sake. Listmeister (talk) 17:36, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete. It's a single with a single source. "Completeness" is not a criterion for either the general notability guidline or those relating directly to bands and music. MezzoMezzo (talk) 05:12, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
