The result was Merge and redirect. The song itself isn't notable enough for an article on it's own. One editors disputes this, but doesn't really give a reason as to why, and also disputes WP:MUSIC. This guideline says that "Most songs do not merit an article and should redirect to another relevant article". Though not a policy, it's a well known guideline that applies to this article. Overwhelming consensus is redirect and merge. - Ta bu shi da yu 13:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Aside from being a Metallica song from "Kill 'Em All", there are no sourced claims to notability in relation to this song. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - As there are no concrete guidelines regarding the notability of songs, I suppose we have to sort of feel our way around. In my estimation, any Metallica song is notable enough to warrant keeping. There is enough easily verifiable information in the article to qualify as a valid stub. No references? WP:SOFIXIT. AfD is not cleanup. --Bongwarrior 00:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

 * They're better than nothing, though. But, if we're going to be feeling our way in the darkness, I'd make the following comments. Firstly, the song wasn't released as a single. That's a problem, since it usually means there's less coverage to start with. Secondly, I haven't found anything useful as regards non-trivial, third-party reliable coverage of the song, which is part of the major threshold criterion for anything. I'm happy to be proven wrong here, but simply saying that I'm wrong is different to demonstrating same. Thirdly, notability is not an inherited thing. The band and the album are both notable, but that doesn't mean that every single track therein is. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 01:01, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge with Kill 'Em All, the song seems to have no real independent notability. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 15:07, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to album article in the absence of any coverage. Nuttah68 20:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
