Talk:Summer, Highland Falls (Billy Joel song)

Notable?
For notability, the appropriate guideline here is WP:NSONG. Basically, individual songs are rarely notable. The exceptions are songs that:
 * 1) have been ranked on national or significant music charts,
 * 2) that have won significant awards or honors or
 * 3) that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups

So far as I can determine, the three reasons from NSONG listed above do not apply here.

This leaves the possibility that the song otherwise passes the general notability guideline (GNG). Essentially, GNG calls for "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". I am unable to find such coverage. Aside from some mentions in the occasional thesis or dissertation and various bare mentions in larger works merely listing the existence of the song, I am unable to find any substantial coverage in reliable sources.

The original version of this article cited songmeanings.net and our article on the album this song is originally from, Turnstiles. The first, songmeanings.net, is a user created website, not a reliable source. In the second case, Wikipedia cannot be used as a source for itself.

In addition to an independent search for material, I've looked at Turnstiles] as well as Songs in the Attic, Live at Shea Stadium: The Concert and 2000 Years: The Millennium Concert as these also include the song, thinking there might be some material sourced there. Nothing.

Unless there is something I'm missing, NSONG suggests a redirect to Turnstiles. If anyone has anything cite-able to add, feel free to revert. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 03:21, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
