Mohammed's Radio

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Attempted redirect but was reverted by creator, the seemingly millionth article in the string of new creations from, another that fails WP:GNG and WP:NSONGS. Only references are that of two to AllMusic and one to an unreliable Fleetwood Mac fansite.  Azealia 911  talk  11:04, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Warren Zevon: fails GNG and NSONGS. NSONGS also says "Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article", which does not seem to be the case here even if we ignore notability. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 14:27, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. The current article doesn't even hint at the potential notability of "Mohammed's Radio". But evidence exists to establish it as not only a notable but an objectively important song. John Rockwell devotes pages to it—both the Zevon original and Linda Ronstadt's version from Living in the USA—in his book Stranded: Rock and Roll for a Desert Island, where among other things he describes it as "an artistic breakthrough" for Ronstadt.    GBooks also yields other significant commentary such as   Briefer references note that the song inspired an independent film of the same title, and Dave Marsh put it near the top of a list of "best songs about radio"    --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:14, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Zevon's article. Clearly fails WP:NSONG, but could use the redirect. If not, delete.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:15, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
