 * Redirect to Animal Boy. The entire text is at both pages.  Never nominated for an award.  Checked Allmusic to see if anyone covered it and it doesn't look like it (hard to tell because there are other songs with the same title).  Good tune, extremely notable band, unfortunately doesn't warrent its own page. Considering that the album's page is still a stub I would encourage anyone who attempts to 'beef up' this page focus their attention on Animal Boy. J04n(talk page) 15:52, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I feel that this specific song has independent notability, based upon a bit of googling. I appreciate that the album article needs improvement, but that shouldn't be a concern here. Obviously, the current content is nothing, but again not relevent; a good article about this song could be written, so - if it can be sourced as a decent stub fairly easily (which I believe it can), why not keep it. WP:GNG beats WP:NSONG. I see this as a significant track in the evolution of punk music, with enough factual information to create an article (the Sex Pistols movie "Sid and Nancy" was originally to be called "Love Kills", cover versions by other notable bands (inc Freddie Mercury), written by Joe Strummer) - I'd love to read a good article on this notable song.

 * Comment The Joe Strummer song, which is from Sid and Nancy, is a different song, see here. The Freddie Mercury song came out in 1984, the Ramones song came out in 1986, so obviously they are different songs also. J04n(talk page) 21:07, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment From WP:SONG "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song. Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album."

 * Redirect to Animal Boy. Doesn't appear to have charted or been covered.  Allmusic lists a number of songs by this title, but all have different composers, so don't appear to be covers of this song.  If multiple reliable sources are added I'll reconsider, but barring that redirecting to the album is appropriate under WP:NSONGS. Rlendog (talk) 15:42, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
