 * Keep. It is yet to be released but will be a notable single by a notable band from a notable album. It deserves its own page. The band's press/fan liaison confirmed that the song will be released worldwide with the exception of North America, but I'm not sure if that's an official source. If that's the case, we can delete the page until an official press release is released. 63.248.11.9 (talk) 03:13, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * First the article has to obtain Notability then you create the article, that's how Wikipedia works. C T J F 8 3  chat 03:33, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Redirect to album for now. Song is not notable at the moment. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 10:35, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect or Delete - No sources, seems to mostly speculation. (like it releasing when their last single loses popularity...) Sergecross73   msg me   14:08, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Alter Bridge's press liaison confirmed this on www.thealterbridgenation.com Live Light (talk) 15:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - WP is not for advertisements of unreleased music. Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. SteveStrummer (talk) 18:35, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * As I said, this has been confirmed by Michael Tremonti, Mark Tremonti's brother and Alter Bridge's press/fan liaison. He posted it on the Alter Bridge Nation discussion board.

 * Has that website confirmed that it will be a future hit? Because until that happens (or something else notable), it doesn't merit its own article.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 19:32, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * WP:Crystal say "Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." User comments on a discussion board don't give any certainty at all. As for notability, this song article is still indiscriminate info: even after the song is released, it has got to chart or have some other compelling reason to not be turned into a redirect to the band or album article.

 * Delete. The article is kind of horryfyingly OR, but regardless, if and when the single comes out, we can... well even then I would probably wait until it actually met WP:NSONG. Right now it certainly doesn't, and it's anyone's guess what the future will bring.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 19:32, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep seems to be confirmed as a single to the point that they have cover art for it, and when released will be unquestionably notable. I see no reason to delete this just to bring it back in 3 weeks or whatever.  No objection to deletion if the single fails to come out in, say, 2 months.

 * Redirect rather than delete, in all other respects I agree with Andrew Lenahan above. --Richhoncho (talk) 15:46, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's been confirmed as the new single: http://itunes.apple.com/au/album/i-know-it-hurts-single/id415239995 63.248.11.9 (talk) 15:51, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
