Talk:Let Down (song)

Do we need this article?
Most of the sourced content in this article is general information about OK Computer that's already covered in the OK Computer article. It's also a poorly written article in general. As Let Down wasn't released as a commercial single, I suspect this article fails WP:NSONGS and should be reverted to a redirect to OK Computer.

Brandt Luke Zorn, what do you think? Popcornduff (talk) 05:51, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * In principle, there's enough commentary out there that most, probably not all, Radiohead songs from The Bends to Amnesiac (plus In Rainbows) are reasonably notable and, I suspect, could become the subjects of their own articles. I admire the effort here from a very new editor, it's an honest first stab at writing a Wikipedia article. Many of the article's issues with formatting/referencing are the kinds of things new users are figuring out as they go along. It is a bit wordy and sometimes strays from encyclopedic tone. You're right that a lot of the text is redundant to what's at OK Computer; some brief summary of background would be OK and some overlap is to be expected, but there's too much repetition here. The background info should be selectively curated to just the aspects that are most contextually related to "Let Down". I think what's here could potentially be shaped into a worthwhile article, I just don't know if I have the time to help cut it down and build it back up properly. —BLZ · talk 21:30, 10 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Brandt Luke Zorn: Thanks for the reply. You might be right about the notability... but as it stands, as you can probably guess, I'm inclined to redirect it the OKC page. I just don't see the point in having articles when they're not very good and we already have a lot of decent coverage of the song on another article, and I'd like to keep the average quality of Radiohead coverage high. However I'll leave it be if other editors think it's worth keeping around. Popcornduff (talk) 10:35, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
