The result was Mu. Consensus is to redirect to Revolutionary Vol. 1, but that's already done, so I don't think there's anything more to do here. I'm not going to protect the page; that can always be done later if it turns out to be necessary. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:53, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Dance with the Devil (Immortal Technique song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NSONGS. Did not chart, most likely was not released as a single. Some coverage within listicles and filler but that does not bring notability. WP:RUNOFTHEMILL sourcing from WhoSampled which has every song on it. A trivial mention within an interview on a niche media website ("Brown Pride") does not mean notability either. Noted in the psychological evaluation of an underage killer but that again does not make it notable Anarcho-authoritarian (talk) 00:25, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

The song's lyrics have 600.000 klicks on "genius" shouln't that account for its notability?https://genius.com/Immortal-technique-dance-with-the-devil-lyrics Plus - even if it might not count as a proper argument according to Wikipedia's standards - this is probably a song, everybody who ever hears it wants to look up. If you don't believe it, listen to it and then read the article.2A02:8109:A73F:D760:BC9F:97A2:B142:1648 (talk) 20:46, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Having its lyrics viewed 600,000 times is not notable. There's a Russian cartoon on YouTube with 2 billion views. There is no coverage of this more than any other album track - and it isn't even that notable an album. Anarcho-authoritarian (talk) 02:14, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Revolutionary Vol. 1 R from song before coming to AfD czar  13:39, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * This has, per the history, already been redirected to the artist in 2007 and the mixtape in 2009. That's why I took this decision Anarcho-authoritarian (talk) 14:16, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Right, so from 2009 to 2012, when it was undone by a new user who is now blocked? Point remains that the term is a useful redirect and the bold move to redirect (instead of AfD) would have likely been uncontested. (If you are worried about not having a third party, AfD is primarily for deletion discussions and is one (extreme) way of getting outside input, but you could also post at noticeboards and WikiProjects. But begs the question that a third party isn't needed unless it's contested.) Redirecting on your own also saves others' time spent at AfD. But since this discussion is still "open", I wouldn't unilaterally redirect now unless you also close (withdraw) the AfD—the closer usually takes the final step. czar  15:20, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Delete and redirect to album seems the best course here. If necessary, page can be protected as a redirect. Doesn't meet Wikipedia notability criteria. MartinJones (talk) 19:46, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per Czar and WP:NSONG. No standalone notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 20:45, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
