Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hey Jealousy

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was MERGE. dbenbenn | talk 02:31, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The votes were 6 keep, 2 merge, 7 delete. Since "delete" doesn't have a large enough majority, I interpret each "delete" as "delete or merge".

Hey Jealousy
Still not enclopaedic, we don't need an article on every song. Previous VfD. --fvw *  17:19, 2005 Jan 18 (UTC)
 * Keep. Something has been found to take its place. Expandible. If the song had been released and become a hit one or two years ago, I doubt it would be here. (See Stacy's Mom...) Samaritan 19:37, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep hit songs. Kappa 20:23, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete --John 22:32, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even if heroically expanded during the vfd process, merge and redirect to New Miserable Experience until there is remotely enough information to justify a split. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 23:32, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Carrp 23:38, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. There's room in Wikipedia for well-known songs. - Jpo 23:59, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Definite keep. Why was it immediately nominated again? At least wait a month or two. Everyking 00:19, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Presumeably because in the previous vfd, it got ten deletes, three redirects, and one keep (yours). &mdash;Korath (Talk) 00:31, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Surely that's an abuse of the process. We only just voted on this recently and the vote was fairly conclusive. Megan1967 01:48, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, still not notable enough to warrant its own article. These songs are not even well known despite what their fans believe. Megan1967 01:29, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, much as I like the song, it's simply not iconic enough to warrant an entry in it's own right. Djbrianuk 0938 GMT 19 Jan 2005
 * Does it have to be iconic? If millions of people have heard it and would recognize it, that's notable. Everyking 09:40, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Enough material to write an article on this song. If deleted should be redirected to New Miserable Experience. Capitalistroadster 10:31, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. Jayjg |  (Talk)  22:40, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Though I don't think all songs (or even most songs) need WP entries, this one is VERY memorable and was quite a hit in its day. Lets leave it up and revisit the issue in a few months if nobody's expanded it. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  00:29, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to the album. -Sean Curtin 00:38, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect (what there is of it) to the album. --Calton 10:40, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can see a time in the future of wikipedia where every band has a page that links to every album they made and every album links to every song on the album, but we are not there yet.  This article fails to establish notability or provide any analysis; therefore it is unencyclopaedic.
 * Above vote by Indrian, who forgot to sign. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 09:00, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
