Fails WP:NSONGS no evidence that it has won any awards or was been ranked on national or significant music charts. No evidence that it was covered by other notable acts, this is unlikely ever to grow beyond a stub and a redirect to the album it is listed on was reverted by article creator.

Keep or merge, but into Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. The article already contains evidence of significant coverage in several reliable sources, enough to meet WP:GNG. The song is apparently considered by the cited authorities as a key item in Johnny Cash's repertoire. The gunfight at the O.K. Corral has inspired a number of films, books, and songs, so if this should be redirected anywhere, it should be redirected and merged with that article rather than to a specific album. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:52, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
