Casey Sheehan Didn't Die for Nothing
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The song does not appear to meet the notability criterion, or the more specific WP:Notability (music) or WP:SONGS guidelines. On the talk page, the original author stated that he/she believes the singer/songwriter's nationality factors into the song's notability, but the article does not mention his nationality. (I'm not sure why it would add to the song's notability in any event.) Pete (talk) 18:07, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Songs aren't inherently notable. This one isn't covered in any sources. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 18:11, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-charting song; lacks substantial coverage from reliable sources. —  Σ xplicit  06:34, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. No proof of notability. Need I say more?

 * The album it is on doesn't have an article either.

 * Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC. No awards, no chart, no covers, no WP:RS.   Esradekan Gibb    "Klat" 13:22, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, does not assert notability nor does it seem likely to be notable. I would also suggest "Weapons of Mass Instruction", another James Gordon song, be nominated for AfD (though I don't care enough to do it myself). — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 23:53, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. A song is not automatically entitled to an article just because it exists, but needs to have demonstrated notability. And in response to the talk page comments, notability is defined by reliable sources which demonstrate the actual real-world significance of the song (ie. chart performance, awards, documented social impact, etc.), not by the mere fact that a Canadian songwriter happened to write a topical song about an American political controversy.
