Adam and Evil[edit]

Not every Elvis song needs an article as notability is not inherited. The only sources for this one refer to its use in a film. A redirect was reverted and I do not see how this passes either WP:N or WP:NSONGS. I don't find arguments as "Every Beatles song has an article" as valid.

Merge. I would also quote WP:Songs which says, "Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." Although I think there is plenty of room for growth, I can't see it growing more than a stub. --Richhoncho (talk) 19:24, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete/Merge - Fails notability as per WP:NSONG. There are no reliable sources to demonstrate the significance of the song and no claim of notability. The info, if it standup for WP:VERIFY as it appears to be original research, can be merged into either the main article for the film or the album.--Michaela den (talk) 15:54, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Failure to state a claim which indicates notability and I failed to find a source providing more information in a Google search. Blue Rasberry (talk) 08:43, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
