The result was Boldly redirected. Yes, there are arguments for keeping, but what the "keep" !voters fail to realize is not all chart singles are notable. WP:MUSIC even says that permanent stubs should be redirected, which is exactly what I did, as this seemed to have no hope for expansion. I decided to redirect as a.) I can imagine someone using this capitalization to search for the song, and b.) it's in line with WP:MUSIC. Non-admin closure.

Fly On The Wall

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

This page should be redirected to it's parent page because it isn't a noticeable song. Plain and simple. Dontyoudare (talk) 08:21, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * So you've started an AfD but aren't actually asking for the article to be deleted......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:50, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it should be delete~ Cheetahbrian (talk) 10:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. You may want to have a quick look at the requirements of WP:MUSIC. The song has charted, and the article is referenced. Plain and simple.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 12:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems to satisfy WP:MUSIC. - Basement12 (T.C) 14:32, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Passes WP:MUSIC, has charted on national musical charts. Article cites sufficient references. Save-Me-Oprah (talk)  07:14, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It has charted on charts. 219.78.62.164 (talk) 15:06, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to patent album. Insufficient information, the song charted didn't charted on Billboard Hot 100 or another official chart. There's no music video, no cover art, any reference about the official release of this song, poorly referenced, a very short article...Should I continue?Voices4ever talk 14:33, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It charted on Billboard Hot 100 (106), it has a music video (live), it has a art cover, and it has enough information.Brianyau323 (talk) 08:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The song charted on Bubbling Under Hot 100, not on Hot 100 chart. There's no music video for this song and the cover art is a fake. I checked Amazon and iTunes and I didn't find this cover anywhere. Voices4ever talk 17:28, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions.   --  Fabrictramp  |  talk to me  21:21, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:MUSIC indicates that songs should not receive their own article unless there is enough information to form a detailed article. In all other cases, the information should be a part of the parent article, such as for the artist or the album. This is a 4 sentence article about a single released only for airplay. What on earth is going to constitute the "detailed article"? Now, people will start arguing "Well, it's a valid redirect", and the answer is "No, it's not", because the only way this article is here is as an improper title. It should be Fly on the Wall, which is already taken in name space, so this is going to wind up being pointed to by a disambiguation page, and we would have to name this Fly one the Wall (non notable Miley Cyrus single that doesn't have enough information to have it's own page) or maybe something a little shorter if people want. That would get pointed to by the disambiguation, which would then redirect to the parent article. Cut the process short: delete the article, install a link to the appropriate section of the parent article in the disambiguation page, and don't clutter up then namespace for a common name with an article that shouldn't exist at all.Kww (talk) 23:32, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
