Dead Ringer for Love

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

As per WP:NSONGS; Most songs do not merit an article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for a prominent album or for the artist who wrote or prominently performed the song... Anshuk (talk) 07:01, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Article as stands is horrible, but WP:NSONGS also states: Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Dead Ringer for Love certainly charted in the UK singles chart (highest placing number 5 I believe) and I imagine several others. If sources can be found to extend the article beyond stub then it should probably be kept. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 08:11, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect back to the Meat Loaf album as a plausible search term, per WP:MUSIC#Songs. While it did reach #5 in the UK charts in Nov 1981, "a separate article is only appropriate on a song when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article." One sentence and a huge bunch of WP:COPYVIO lyrics an article does not make.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 13:16, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. But remove song's lyrics (not what Wikipedia is about). The article would then of course need expansion. Subject is notable enough (big European hit and top 5 in the UK).--Tuzapicabit (talk) 18:29, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
