The Angel Wars[edit]

Song isn't notable enough to warrant its own article; in the U.S. at least, it did not reach the Top 40. Article appears to simply be a pro-atheism commentary with little other substance. Bumm13 11:54, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge with album article. Wasn't a big hit, but it did have an extended mix done of it, and I can't see a reason not to explain what it means, etc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:52, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete isn't mentioned in Gary Numan, and it's got a fairly long list of singles. Eivind ^t ^@^c 04:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge with album article. Non-notable song. -- P199 18:01, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notability has nothing to do with deletion, and the article is verifiable. For great justice. 03:19, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Blnguyen. --Khoikhoi 06:54, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. For the record, I'm the bloke who created the article for this song's parent album, Exile, as well as many other Numan releases. This article was already in existence when I did the album but I didn't see a reason to put it up for deletion then because it appeared to have some interesting info even though I don't think most commentators would see it as a notable song in the Numan catalogue. Yes there's an extended version but the whole album came out in an extended version so no big deal there; also it was never a single. More importantly, having researched a bit further, it appears that practically all the content in the song article is flawed or redundant. Angel Wars: Guardian Force seems to have been released in 2004, seven years after Numan wrote his song so if that's the case then obviously he wasn't 'taking off' the movie with the song! The rest of the stuff on his 'vocal atheism' is covered extensively in the Exile article and elsewhere, including his Wikipedia bio. Cheers, Ian Rose 02:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
