I Will Follow You Into The Dark
not notable. george 20:26, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * This information could easily be placed on Death Cab for Cutie. george 20:28, 13 June 2006 (UTC).
 * Let me expand on this. If people deem it important enough to call out an artist or band's song to its own page, then they should have something to say about it. This page could barely justify four lonely words. I think that when it was decided that individual songs or albums could get their own articles, it was intended that there be some interesting or notable reason. Basically, notable is the watchword that trumps all others. This just isn't worth the nanometers of magentic disk space it is consuming. george 20:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * So expand it. it's the next single, it has a video by a guy who did one of the best videos of the 1990s, Radiohead's "Just," it'll have a retail single release, etc.  No need to rush, and a couple seconds of research would have borne this out. --badlydrawnjeff talk 22:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * So expand it it is the old Wikipedia Canard. I say that if the person who initiated the article couldn't come up with a sentence or two about the topic, then why would you expect anyone else to. The truth is that this dreck would have sat there in that condition for months or years. The only reason anyone even attempted to Wikify it or add to it is because it got marked for deletion. george 17:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * You could have expanded as opposed to AfDing it, too, you know. Besides, this time, I put my money where my mouth was and I at least made it into a viable stub.  Took ten seconds to plug the song name into Google News and snag a press release announcing the single with the video information.  Took another thirty to make the viable stub.  How long did it take to do the AfD? --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Its still not notable. Every moping teenager who penned a song in his garage is going to want a Wikipedia page. Maybe if they sell more than 100 CD's then it will deserve a Wiki page. Otherwise it is free advertising for an audienceless musician. george 23:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete The song, by itself, is not notable. Ted 20:50, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete totally contentless. Redirect to the band if this is a likely search term. Opabinia regalis 21:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect, but only because I can imagine people searching the title of the song. Otherwise (say, if someone comes up with a stat that shows nobody's searching for it), just delete, as it's a non-notable song either way. -- Kicking222 21:16, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Kicking222. Unlike the other ones you have nominated, george, this article is actually contentless. Aplomado  talk 21:45, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, song is the next single off of DCFC's album Plans. It has a video, it will have a foriegn single release, and any deletion or redirect will ultimately be recreated no matter how we do it.     --badlydrawnjeff talk 22:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Plans after a move to I Will Follow You into the Dark. Not all singles are automatically notable (see WP:MUSIC/SONG), and since there's so little to write about this one at the moment (it hasn't even been released yet) it's more useful for the information to centralised at the album article for now. Extraordinary Machine 23:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * WP:SONG is still proposed, and this meets #7 anyway with its music video. --badlydrawnjeff talk 18:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep it's being released as a single, and many many other songs that have been released as singles also have their own page. If there is not enough information on the page, expand it.  That is not a good reason to delete it.  Amazinglarry 01:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Why would somebody bother to start a new article and then not write anything? What's the point of that? I say that if the person who cared enough to initiate the article couldn't put more than sentence's worth of work into it, then it must be unnotable. george 02:31, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That's completely illogical, and assumes that new editors understand our policies the moment they open the edit page. I've rewritten it as a viable stub. --badlydrawnjeff talk 02:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Everyking 15:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Why? george 17:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Single by a famous band. Everyking 19:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Famous to who? I never heard of them. More articles about aristotle and less articles about dreck. george 23:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Death Cab for Cutie is arguably the largest indie/emo band out there right now, with a major hit single over the falllast year and a platinum album. I don't listen to country music, either, but I don't say "famous to who" when someone mentions a country artist as being famous. --badlydrawnjeff talk 00:07, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * More articles about Aristole and more articles about popular music, I say. Everyking 03:54, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
