Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/3-Minute Rule


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was NO CONSENSUS TO DELETE - DEFAULT TO KEEP. Fairly evenly balanced, both sides make equatable arguments, a delete and then redirect might be an idea to entertain but to preserve the history I think a simple merge is just as easy, but there's no consensus here.

3-Minute Rule
I can't see how a track off an album that was never released as a single can warrant it's own page ... tell me if I'm wong !! David  Humphreys SPEAK TO MEABOUTTHE THINGS I MESSED UP 04:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete you aren't "wong" --Macarion 04:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable individual track. List of references (references that the song apparently makes, not references used to write the article) violates Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 05:31, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Paul's Boutique GassyGuy 06:23, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. A merge would essentially mandate the same treatment for articles on each of the songs on the album, which isn't practical considering how jam-packed they are with song info. (Instead, I recommend that all song articles tied to this page be deleted, except the singles and any others that are notable for other reasons.) The album (a hip-hop classic) is known for its rich base of samples and allusions, but this isn't the place for listing them (this is). So peace out y'all, WP, song out.

 * If you want to delete them, I won't stop you...I worked pretty hard on these, but I'd rather have it be deleted if it means I'm not breaking any rules. Thebanjohype 16:25, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Paul's Boutique per GassyGuy (Merge All if possible). I believe there's some albums project guidelines for including sample data per album track. See Track Listing section of WikiProject Albums. The "references" part of this article is less essential though. --DaveG12345 21:12, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per above.--Pokipsy76 13:00, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Lots of original research here. --Burgwerworldz 20:15, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
