Caress Me Down
Non-notable song from a short-lived California band with only one major label album. Several other of their songs also have articles that bear consideration. Tysto 21:43, 2005 August 13 (UTC)
 * Addendum to put this in context: How are these songs notable? Has any music critic written an article analyzing them? Would you even expect to find a regular web page devoted to each one of them at a fan site? I have no problem with the band (altho I probably underestimated their notability), and some songs are famous and notable in themselves (many Beatles songs deserve their own entries, old standards, folk songs, etc.); they have a history and cultural importance, but not these songs. --Tysto 14:32, 2005 August 17 (UTC)


 * keep or merge, song by a notable band, no need to deny wikipedia users access to this information. Kappa 22:26, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable band, notable song. A "short-lived" California band?  Seems to me that they meet several of the criteria here.--Myles Long/cDc 02:52, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * This is just about the songs. The band is notable enough to warrant an article, and for that matter their album, just not each individual song.--Tysto 20:27, 2005 August 14 (UTC)
 * Merge into Sublime (album). Sublime is, unfortunately, a notable band. android  79  03:00, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Sublime (album) Agree with Android79, despite his apparent lack of musical taste. ;) There's little potential for this article to ever grow any larger than it is now, and it's a perfectly good redirect. Fernando Rizo T/C 08:19, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * In small doses, I'm sure Sublime is great, but their extreme popularity at my college meant everyone was listening to them... all the time, including the really weird guy next door with the really loud stereo. Same goes for Dave Matthews Band. :-) android  79  15:28, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge, I guess. I wouldn't be sad if it were deleted though. -R. fiend 15:11, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. While "only one major label album" is generally enough to show notability for the band or for the album, an article on an individual song has to be more notable still. -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:25, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Just an observation (that is largely irrelvant to this VfD, admittedly), but "only one major label album" is a bit misleading. Sublime only had one (studio) album that was originally released on a major label.  However, their two earlier albums had already been picked up and re-released by a major label before their "major label debut."  They've also had various and sundry greatest hits/live/rarities/whatnot albums since its release, also put out on a major label.  --Myles Long/cDc 22:10, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but expand, I was just starting to enjoy it when the information ran out. Alf 10:42, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
