The result was merge to Out of Ashes and redirect. I believe the usual practice is to redirect songs to the album (if an article on it exists), not the artist, but if I'm wrong feel free to merge it to Dead by Sunrise instead. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 16:08, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Let Down (Dead by Sunrise song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is a single released by a project by Chester Bennington. However, the single did not chart and does not have significant independent coverage other than from music mags and sites. Does not meet WP:NSONG. The article has also had a notability tag since 2013. Before you wikipedians !vote redirect to Out of Ashes, note that there is an (arguably) more significant song by Radiohead on their OK Computer album of the same name.

 * Comment: The existence of a more significant song of the same name by Radiohead wouldn't impact the redirect-ability of this specific, disambiguated title, as said song by Radiohead clearly isn't a Dead by Sunrise song. (Plus the Let Down (Radiohead song) counterpart exists and is a redirect to OK Computer; the Bif Naked song of the same name exists as Let Down (Bif Naked song) and redirects to Superbeautifulmonster; and a disambiguation page exists at Let Down. If anything, that makes redirecting this specific one to the relevant album more reasonable) AddWittyNameHere (talk) 20:28, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure, let me try to clarify. As it stands, 'let down' and 'Let down' currently hard redirect to the article in question.  If redirected to Out of Ashes, the redirects would be incorrect and need to be retargeted. If consensus is reached for deleting this article, I would propose retargeting 'let down' and 'Let down' to the disambig page.  Jip Orlando (talk) 21:14, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explaining and yes, that'd make sense (both the explanation and the re-targets for those redirs). I'd also consider creating a Let Down (song) redirect to the disambig page alongside them if said consensus is reached.

 * Merge and Redirect to Out of Ashes (pending a resolution to the Radiohead issue discussed above). The album has gained notability but I agree with the nominator on how this individual song does not merit its own article. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 16:39, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
