Been Down So Long

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Song fails WP:Music. I could not find any sources to establish notability. No mentions of charting, either. Tinton5 (talk) 00:19, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Would stubbing it Help?--Scottdelaney1067 (talk) 01:06, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It already is a stub. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:08, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

That is because i stubbed it. And no chart info may be known yet either.--Scottdelaney1067 (talk) 01:09, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * If the info is not known, then why are you making an article? There's no hurry. What you need is a third-party source discussing the song in depth. If nothing can be found, then it can be deleted or redirected. Should the song become notable in the future, the article can always be re-made.

maybe replace the deletion tag with a speedy deletion tag?--Scottdelaney1067 (talk) 01:48, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It doesn't meet any of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you want, you can just be bold and redirect it. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 02:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep, originally written by J. B. Lenoir; should probably be reformatted. Been covered by [{Randy Newman]] as well; Inspired by Richard Fariña's novel Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me; and like most songs of famous bands (especially older ones), there's plenty to go around about it musically, lyrically, etc. I've added some references for now. - Theornamentalist (talk) 23:02, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm, well, I usually don't do this, but after seeing those edits, I appreciate what you've done to improve the page. So having said that, I feel as to possibly withdraw this nomination, but let us see what others will say now. Thanks. Tinton5 (talk) 02:33, 14 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Question: Was this song released as a single? Tinton5 (talk) 02:33, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Unsure, changed it to song for now until I find otherwise. - Theornamentalist (talk) 00:36, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
