The result was delete. The sourcing arguments are compelling. Sorry, but "I know I've read about this in magazines and stuff" is one of the least stringently argued arguments I've come across at AfD recently. Any redirect can be created as deemed editorially appropriate. Sandstein 06:42, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Trip Through the Grand Canyon[edit]

This is a neat and classic musical composition and midi file, but I wasn't surprised that I couldn't find any independent sources about or mentioning this composition (or even Canyon.midi, which all I could find were blog posts about or mentioning it). The only reason why so many people know about it (and probably why some people think its a notable song) is because it was a midi file that was part of early versions of the Windows computer. The background section of this article is entirely unsourced, but I hoping that some user will put citations on it (though I not entirely sure it's enough for this article to be eligible for inclusion), so I could start having the feeling that this song is notable enough to be here. But simply put, the article fails WP:NSONG entirely. End of story. EditorE (talk) 00:02, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete/Redirect - While it seems like it should be notable since it was part of the early versions of Windows, all that I can find on it is a couple of blog posts about it that probably wouldn't meet verifiability standards. On one of them, George Stone supposedly commented on how and why he wrote it, and it seems pretty legit, but still, on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 14:25, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/possible merge to Microsoft Windows - notability isn't inherited, and this little song doesn't have independent coverage of its own. Ansh666 20:40, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
