Mainline Florida[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A non notable album track / B-Side which has not been listed in any notable charts, not won any awards and not been recorded by multiple notable artists so fails WP:NSONGS and has no significant coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. Author has contested redirection to the album leaving deletion as the only remaining option. RichardOSmith (talk) 18:55, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Mainline Florida" was now massively improved by adding more to the writing and composition page. The intro was extended and verified. Also a both commercial and critical reception, consisting of chart positions, sales figures and critics quotes have been added. The vinyl B-side was added. This should lead to the revert of deleting the article. It is no longer allowed to be deleted. It should really stay on Wikipedia. --Matthiasberoli (talk) 21:30, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article is nicely created and if Wikipedia wanted to be a repository of everything it would be great - but, per WP:NOTEVERYTHING, it doesn't. The criteria are clear and the track remains non-notable per the Wikipedia definitions I cited. The new content doesn't change that - in fact, if anything, it exposes the fact that the criteria are not met. The reviews quoted are of the album on which it appeared which only strengthens the argument for redirection to the album article; the chart references are for a completely different song - this song does not appear in the cited charts. Nothing has demonstrated individual notability of this song and nothing in the article could not be incorporated into the parent article for the album, which is where is belongs.

Redirect to Willie and the Hand Jive or 461 Ocean Boulevard. The chart listings seem to be for Willie and the Hand Jive; notability is not inherited, so that doesn't make this B-side notable. The brief mentions in three sources ([1], [2], [3] (p. 246)) do not, in my opinion, constitute significant coverage. I am not sure what the best redirect target is though. --Cerebellum (talk) 00:42, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as this seems best linked to the album, rather than an independently notable song article. SwisterTwister talk 07:39, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
