Questionable notability. No sources cited, didn't chart, no non-trivial coverage found. Redirects undone at least twice with undo-er arguing WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:LOSE. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 14:41, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. - Nicely done article for the first seven-inch single by David Bowie. Bad challenge. Carrite (talk) 16:41, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're turning into Kmweber, you know that? I hardly think "nicely done" is worth keeping if THERE ARE NO SOURCES. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 16:52, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep: Sources do exist. Here's just a few:

Thompson, Dave (2006). Hallo Spaceboy: The Rebirth of David Bowie. ECW Press. p.304 ISBN 1550227335: Details where the song was recorded, who the musicians were, and the TV shows on which the song was promoted.
Forget, Thomas (2002). David Bowie. The Rosen Publishing Group. p.18. ISBN 082393523X: Details that song's lack of success and how they were trying to sound like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
Buckley, David (2007). Strange Fascination: David Bowie: The Definitive Story. Virgin Books. p.23. ISBN 9780753510025: The song's lack of success and the TV shows on which the song was promoted.
Pegg, Nicholas (2006). The Complete David Bowie. Reynolds & Hearn. p.130. ISBN 1905287151: Goes in to great detail about the song, it's production, recording, promotion, aftermath, value.

The song therefore meets the general notability guidelines. --JD554 (talk) 20:36, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So fix the !*@#$ thing. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 21:42, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There's tons of stuff that needs to be fixed. This particular article is probably in the top 25 percentile of music release pages... There are lots of horrible ones, as I'm sure Mr. Weber would assure you, if he does indeed think like me... Moving on... Carrite (talk) 23:10, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How could I refuse such a polite request? References from reliable sources have now been added. --JD554 (talk) 07:32, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
