I'll Sue Ya[edit]
This article has been created, prodded, deleted as an expired prod, recreated, speedy deleted (which was procedurally incorrect), recreated, redirected, recreated, and redirected again. It's my understanding that any deletion attempt after the original prod deletion should have been an AfD. So this nomination is mostly procedural. The song did have an animated music video featured on the CD, and it does seem to be promoted by Yankovic as one of the album's main songs, featured at his website and sung at concerts, but on the other hand, five other songs on the album had animated music videos too. Anyway, I'll abstain on this one, but I do think we need a community decision at some point. Maxamegalon2000 03:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Straight Outta Lynnwood. I do not believe this song was ever released as a single. Resolute 04:42, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect. Look, it's not about whether or not the song can considered be a "single" in whatever sense you want to look at it, it's whether or not the song deserves an article. I'm a huge Al fan and I love this song, but I don't think it's article-worthy. There's little that can be said about the song outside of a one-sentence summary, which can be stuck in the Straight Outta Lynnwood article. The list currently in the article is pointless at best, and dangerously close to copyvio at worst. And look at "Canadian Idiot", a single (though without a video), and its article has been deleted several times because there's not enough significant info to justify the article's existence. - Ugliness Man 07:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Yankovic is the leading parody/novelty artist of all time; all of his significant songs are notable. Newyorkbrad 16:41, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Straight Outta Lynwood. The amount of Weird Al cruft on Wikipedia is shocking. GassyGuy 10:52, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
