not every song has notability Debresser (talk) 23:00, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect back to Damn Yankees (album) as a plausible search term, fails stand alone notability per WP:MUSIC. While it may have charted there is little substance nor significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources to warrant having a separate article.

 * Keep I came here because I'm doing an extensive pruning of WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/List of notable songs. This song is in the list. The problem with merging is that sometimes most of the time, the content from articles about individual songs are not merged into the album articles. Moreover, the redirects are almost never categorized so that they show up (as redirects) in the categories Category:Foobar songs so in the end, the project is worse off. There's nothing wrong with a short article. Sure, no one has written a book about this song and I don't expect a 50Kb article, but there are plenty of reliable sources that will provide the date the single was released, the place it reached in the charts, who wrote the song and other basic info. As for the notability guideline, note that it does say "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts [...] are probably notable". It also says that short articles should be merged into the album articles but the fact is that a) most are not and b) that's just a dumb part of the guideline and one that is largely ignored.

 * Speedy Keep. A song that reaches #3 in the charts is notable whether or not there is coverage in reliable third-party sources. WP:MUSIC only requires any one of the criteria to be fulfilled. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:47, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
