A Mind Beside Itself

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. This article occupies a space between album and song: it is about a three song suite on Dream Theater's album Awake. Nevertheless, awesomeness is not an inclusion category; an article about three contiguous songs on an album that are designed to dovetail and function as one song is still functionally an article about a song, and it fails WP:NSONGS. "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article" and that even if a song is notable, it should only be treated in a separate article "when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article...." This song kicks ass, but it doesn't shoulder its burden under NSONGS. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 13:07, 20 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Merge & redirect with Awake (Dream Theater album). Per the quote from WP:NSONGS in the nomintation. Rlendog (talk) 18:43, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC. No awards, no chart, no covers, no WP:RS. Take away all the unsourced info and all you're left with is that fact it is a song off a Dream Theater album, not exactly merge worthy IMHO.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 00:13, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * But even if there is not enough information to merge, NSONGS states to "redirect to another relevant article". Since the album has an article that can be merged to, I not sure why you believe deleting  over is more appropriate than redirecting. Rlendog (talk) 00:53, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete content, create redirect. The article itself is just OR, with no content worth keeping, but the title appears to be a plausible search term. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 01:24, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - nn per WP:NSONGS as indicated by nom. Eusebeus (talk) 15:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
