Moss Garden

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A non-notable track from Bowie's 1977 album "Heroes". It's been a stub for quite some time now, and while there are a few reliable sources, the information present can easily be added to the album article, which I plan to greatly expand one of these days. As it stands, it doesn't appear notable enough to have its own article. – zmbro (talk) 19:08, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to "Heroes" (David Bowie album) – little to say about this instrumental track, but no reason why it shouldn't be redirected to its parent album. Richard3120 (talk) 20:17, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to "Heroes" (David Bowie album): Not all songs in the album are notable. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 06:41, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Why not? And even if not all songs in the album are notable, why is this particular song not notable? Rlendog (talk) 01:10, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - None of the arguments above get to the issue of whether this song meets our notability guidelines or not. From my own bookshelves, Peter Doggett's The Man Who Sold the World, Nicholas Pegg's The Complete David Bowie and David Buckley's The Complete Guide to the Music of David Bowie all have an entry specifically on this song.  James Perone's The Words and Music of David Bowie has a good size paragraph analyzing the song.  I am sure there are plenty more given that this is a song from more than 40 years ago (and 2 additional references are already in the article) but this is enough to demonstrate notability.

 * Merge and redirect. the content does not pass WP:NSONGS criteria for an independent article. The information here could be easily contained on the parent album's page. Per WP:OTHERSTUFF, the fact that other pages for songs from the album exist is the EXACT REASON WHY THIS ONE SHOULD NOT. Topics do not inherit notability from other related topics. Additionally, articles about songs from this album should not overly/heavily rely purely on published sources. To be honest Joe_the_Lion, Sons of the Silent Age, V-2 Schneider, Sense of Doubt, Moss Garden, Neuköln and The Secret Life of Arabia should all be merged. → Lil- ℧niquԐ1 - ( Talk ) - 18:33, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * What does "articles about songs from this album should not overly/heavily rely purely on published sources" mean? If we do not rely on published sources what do we rely on? Rlendog (talk) 12:45, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
