In addition to failing N, NSONG states: "Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." Information already exists at Purge (Godflesh album), nothing to merge. No objection to a redirect. // Timothy :: talk 04:25, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Purge (Godflesh album). All coverage, whether in the article or not, is restating the same basic information which is clearly drawn directly from a press release. Aside from issues I have with calling this a "self published" song (artists running their own record labels and releasing notable singles from them is far from new), I agree with the nomination.

Redirect as above. The album's not even released yet, but it's the only alternative to deletion. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:46, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Citations are non-significant and/or routine coverage. Fails GNG. IMO the song being released or not is irrelevant because there's no requirement an article about a piece of media needs to be "published" to have a wikipage about it, but that doesn't take away from the irrelevance of the subject itself.
