Quadrophenia (song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced bit of original research. Absolutely nothing that can't be (and probably isn't) said on Quadrophenia already, and not a suitable redirect term. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  13:57, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment on the contrary, it's quite common and perfectly acceptable for songs that don't warrant articles to redirect to their parent albums as people still sometimes search for the songs online, so the question is whether this was meets WP:Notability (music). In other words, people need to determine if there's enough material on the song itself to grow beyond a stub AND if it is covered enough outside of album reviews and artist/label/producer/songwriter commentary.

 * what Ritchie333 means that because the song name is the same as the album name, anybody searching for the song is going to bring up the album title anyway, so there's no point having a redirect. Richard3120 (talk) 15:52, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Exactly that - if it was a suitable redirect term, I'd have just done that rather than come here. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  10:33, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:NSONGS.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 12:44, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. All seems very redundant, and as has been pointed out above, anyone searching for this song title will be taken to the album anyway. --Michig (talk) 19:53, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: fails WP:NSONGS, not notable outside of the album and anything that is useful/relevant can be added to the Quadrophenia article – but really, there's nothing that would be missed. Richard3120 (talk) 20:53, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as per others, fails NSONGS &#32;DocumentError (talk) 08:00, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment. I wish there was a way we could tell if readers had typed in a search term or used an existing link to get to an article. This article receives an average of eight hits a day, and Redirects are cheap. On the other hand we have Redirects are costly. Either way, this is probably not the place to discuss the deletion of a redirect (which is essentially what this is). My feeling is that the title should be redirected to Quadrophenia, and that the resulting redirection is then discussed at Redirects for discussion. My own feeling is that as the term is a viable search term, it could be used by readers familiar with our system of parenthetical disambiguation, but - as I said, this is not the place to be discussing the deletion of a redirect.

 * Assuming that the links to the song page have been stable, it looks like the IP editor who reverted the redirect back into an article on June 17, 2018 re-added all the current links.. So if we set the pageviews tool from July 1, 2015 to June 16, 2017, we would capture the period from when the page view tool went up until the links were added, which would've been when this was a redirect. Doing that gives 162 hits over 23.5 months or just under seven hits a month. Given that the album is unlikely to be renamed, this redirect would probably fall under the WP:CHEAP reasoning more than the costly ones. Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:51, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I believe this is an instrumental that was never released as a single. A redirect is not appropriate per Ritchie333. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 19:30, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to album as a valid R from subtopic, since there doesn't appear to be another song called Quadrophenia that would challenge this one as the primary topic. Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:29, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * From January 2009 to June 2017, this was in fact a redirect to the album,   Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:31, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
