Ducks on the Wall

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

Does not meet criteria at WP:NSONG, not notable enough to warrant its own article as a single. -Liancetalk/contribs 02:53, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. -Liancetalk/contribs 02:53, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to its parent album, Soap Opera (album), for the same reasons as stated at Articles for deletion/Holiday Romance. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:01, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Soap Opera (album). Fails WP:NSONG per nom. SBKSPP (talk) 00:12, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Changed my vote below per Rlendog. SBKSPP (talk) 00:56, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - I was able to find a few sources separate from album reviews. And I am sure there are others since (1) my Kinks' library is not very extensive, (2) one of the sources I added makes reference to contemporary reviews of the single, (3) the oldest book here is from 1998; it seems unlikely that nothing was written about it for its first 23 years of existence and then several books showed up since, and (4) The index to Johnny Rogan's Ray Davies biography, which I found on Google Books, shows multiple pages addressing the song, although I can't see those pages to see how significant the coverage is.  In any case, even if not kept, the sourced information should be merged to the album article, but this is not ideal since this was released as a single and there is coverage in multiple sources (and at over 500 words fully sourced it wouldn't really fit into the album article).

 * I found one more book now from before 1998 and added information from it, although I only have limited access to it. Rlendog (talk) 13:09, 17 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep Meets WP:NSONG with sources added to the article by Rlendog. They're reliable enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 00:56, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets NSONG per Rlendog. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 01:28, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
