Still fails Music: "A separate article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." -- Jeandré, 2008-09-06t16:44z 16:44, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
