Critical Acclaim

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Does not meet WP:NSONG, no independent notability for the song compared to the album. The only stats and information is how often it was performed on tour and who sings and performs in each section. No independent critic reception. No charting. Was sent to draft but then was copied back to mainspace without any notable improvement. Recommend redirect to album.

The song is one of the most popular by the band, and one of the band's favorites. Other, less notable A7X songs with less sources have pages.--BoxxyBoy (talk) 03:30, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS should not even apply here. If there's ever a concern about the other pages in question, they should be brought up in a separate AfD discussion, not here. Jalen Folf   (talk)  03:37, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Avenged Sevenfold (album). The song is mentioned by critics and journalists somewhat often, but always in relation to its parent album. This includes discussions about the politicized lyrics, which are also common for the album as a whole. Additional points like popularity with fans and number of live performances are fan trivia with little encyclopedic value. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 20:16, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Political themes ARE NOT constant in the band's music. In fact, this is the only song in their ENTIRE discography that brings politics to the forefront this much. The only one that is a fraction as political is Blinded In Chains. BoxxyBoy (talk) 00:39, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * That's not even close to relevant for the discussion of whether this song qualifies for its own Wikipedia article. Explore the blue-linked WP policies that the voters have referenced. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:35, 1 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Avenged Sevenfold (album). Fails WP:NSONG per nom. SBKSPP (talk) 05:14, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Avenged Sevenfold (album) per nomination. None of the actually reliable sources (excluding USERG like Discogs, Genius, and SongFacts) are exclusively about the song, many only make passing mentions, and a few don't even name it. I would suggest merging but the only material really worth keeping is the controvery section and that needs a severe rewrite anyway. QuietHere (talk) 16:39, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above Gamertrash14 (talk) 12:23, 1 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Redirect to the self-titled album once again, sadly. Although it's a fact that it's a fan favorite, it never has met the GNG very well, and likely will hover right below the threshold forever.  danny music editor  oops 05:55, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Avenged Sevenfold (album) per nom. This fails WP:NSONG or WP:GNG, the current refs are unreliable databases, short listicle reviews, or routine announcements that IMO fail the WP:SIGCOV requirements per GNG or the non-trivial requirements of NSONG. My WP:BEFORE search found this mentioned frequently in articles covering the album, but they appear to be trivial and does not discuss this song in sufficient detail.
