List of musicians that have recorded the song Skibbereen

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article fails on 5 main guidelines :- The reasons for a AfD, rather that a redirect are twofold, firstly that as a search term it the title is pretty useless, secondly, having been reverted by the creator of the article and then invited to an edit war by the same editor who already has warnings for edit wars left me with no alternative to an AfD. Others may like to consider the grammar of the article title. The article also remains unreferenced. Richhoncho (talk) 10:20, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The article fails on precedent as List of The Christmas Song covers has been merged back into main article. As far as I can ascertain there are no other songs split between the article on the song and other recordings and unless size dictates, I can see no reason for it.
 * WP:SONGCOVER applies which states "When a song has renditions (recorded or performed) by more than one artist, discussion of a particular artist's rendition should be included in the song's article (not a separate article), but only if at least one of the following applies: the rendition is discussed by a reliable source on the subject of the song (not on the subject of the rendition), the rendition itself meets the notability requirement at WP:NSONGS."
 * WP:NSONGS. States, inter alia, "Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article" A list of covers of a song would be covered by this.
 * There is no issue regarding size.
 * All the information in this article is now duplicated at Skibbereen (song) where I put it after I redirected the page.
 * Every article is judged on his own merits
 * WP:SONGCOVER refers to an individual cover, not to a list of artists
 * The article is not unreferenced, as it links to the article of the artist that refers to the album or to the album itself. But if desired, I can copy the sources.
 * The comments of Richhoncho about earlier warnings of editwarring and my grammer are just plain disgusting. If he is trying to win a discussion by making personal attacks, I am done with it. This loser can stick the article straight up his a**e. Night of the Big Wind  talk  02:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Response. I will apologise for the grammar comment, it went a little too far, but it did establish a further reason for the article to be deleted, rather redirected. However, I was correct to mention your invitation to edit-warring as a good reason for bringing the article to AfD - if you hadn't have brought it up in the first place I wouldn't have remarked on it! I note you have now speedied the article as creator. Fair enough. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:02, 29 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per the above; no need for a separate article, and not enough for meaningful encyclopaedic content.  Chzz  ►  12:55, 26 November 2011 (UTC) Incidentally, I reformatted the content in Skibbereen (song) here, to remove the excess section headers and empty tables, thus reducing it from 25 lines to 5 lines.

 * Delete not notable as a separate list; not reason to split from song. Uniplex (talk) 18:13, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
