Demons (Sleigh Bells song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NSONG criteria, specifically: "a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." After conducting my own research, the majority of the articles out there merely mention a music video exists, or the song gets mentioned in a review. There's not much information specifically pertaining to this song that one could plausibly expand the article very much beyond what it is now. Fezmar9 (talk) 03:12, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Seriously, what is your problem? Are you still forum shopping? Third opinion didn't work, the Discographies WikiProject didn't work, DRN didn't work, so now you're coming to AfD? All this is making yourself look bad, you know. (And at the very least, the article could be merged to Reign of Terror (album).)  Erpert  Who is this guy? 06:14, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Our other dispute is regarding the definition of a single. This AFD is based purely on notability and warranting an independent article. These are two entirely different things. Please either contribute constructive, relevent comments to this discussion, or don't comment at all. Fezmar9 (talk) 06:31, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Two entirely different things? Really? You say that after this and this? And to anyone else monitoring this, proof of forum shopping began here and here, and then spilled into here, here and here. This is thus a bad-faith nomination.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 18:23, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, two entirely different things. What you have linked shows evidence that I have doubts about this song being released as a single. If you'll notice, my nomination doesn't mention that argument what-so-ever. Whether or not a song is strictly defined as single is a separate argument from suggesting a topic doesn't have enough independent coverage to warrant a separate article. The outcome of this AFD and the outcome of the DRN will result in two completely different things. It's highly disruptive to bring an outside argument into this AFD. If you'd like to discuss this with me further, do so on my talk page as it's completely irrelevant here. Please comment on whether or not this article meets WP:NSONG criteria or not. Thanks.

 * I'm disruptive? How can you say that with a straight face? Anyway, I would be happy to just leave this alone, but I can't help but wonder which noticeboard you're going to use next.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 05:57, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Reign of Terror (album). There's fairly wide coverage of this single but nothing that has enough to really justify a standalone article. --Michig (talk) 06:22, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Reign of Terror (album). Michig is correct about the snippets of coverage the song has received, but it's mostly just notifications that a video exists. Not enough for a stand-alone article. The fact that the song is a single and has a video can be mentioned at the articles for the album and the band's discography. (Also, I'm not sure what to make of the dispute between Fezmar and Erpert, but you two guys have taken it beyond the notability discussion that is appropriate here.) -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 14:55, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Reign of Terror (album). This is lacking in anything interesting to justify a stand alone page. The information available would be best off merged with its album. --BarnseyP (talk) 16:40, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
