Fly Away (Michael Jackson song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non notable non single michael jackson song. Currently discussed on WP:ANI. Wish for redirect to Bad (album) NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 06:29, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Redirect Fails WP:NSONGS; was never released as a single and never charted. It is a random bonus track from a reissue of an album. Not even all of the original tracks from the album have articles. There is not enough information either for a standalone article; none on the writing, recording, composition, lyrics, critical reception, etc. Existance does not equal notability.

 * I added a review OttomanJackson 22:44, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * A passing comment from somebody at Amazon.com does not establish why this song is notable. There is no indepth or significant coverage of the song.  Pyrrhus  16 ''' 23:09, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, this edit confused me. Who is Rickey Wright and what makes his opinion notable?  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 01:07, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I think he works for amazon.com Anyway, Pyrrhus16 complained about no critical reception, and I fixed itOttomanJackson 18:24, 27 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by OttomanJackson (talk • contribs)


 * Redirect to Bad (album), as per usual practice for non-notable album tracks. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  14:40, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Just because this song wasn't released a single doesn't necessarily mean there aren't reliable sources about this song. Seems to me that this is just a sourcing issue.  I'd find sources myself, but I'm not sure what a meaningful Google search would be given "Fly away" is a common English phrase.  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 14:49, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Essentially you are arguing that WP:NSONGS, a generally accepted notability guideline created for this specific circumstance of a non-single song, should be set aside. Can you make a case for why an exception should be made for this article?  What is the exceptional circumstance? Tarc (talk) 23:47, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Redirect per nom. Unless sources addressing this song directly can be found, it's a cert for redirection. Bretonbanquet (talk) 15:46, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect Crystal Clear x3 19:35, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I think this is a notable song I agree with A Quest For Knowledge (talk) This is a sourcing issue, but help is needed finding sources. Any suggestions? Plus, this is not a vioalation of any policies (see WP:V, WP:OR, WP:NPOV or WP:BLP).  OttomanJackson 21:46, 26 June 2010 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by OttomanJackson (talk • contribs)
 * What about WP:NM? NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 21:56, 26 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Redirect, per WP:NSONGS there is nothing particularly special here that resonates the creation of seperate article. Lil-unique1 (talk) 00:39, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the album. The song seems to fail WP:NSONG and I can't find sources that satisfy WP:GNG. P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 02:13, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect per reasons given above. There is no material there to justify a separate article, & no likelihood that there ever will be. I'd also like to note that the person who created this article is the subject of a thread at WP:AN/I for repeatedly & disruptively creating articles on unimportant Michael Jackson songs.-- llywrch (talk) 16:22, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
