Retard Girl
Each album could be listed on the Hole page. This is not notable. george 19:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Hole is a notable band and this is a notable album. George, please stop trying to make a point. Gwernol 19:47, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * So you think that injecting an article entitled Retard Girl is a notable addition to Wikipedia? Twelve year olds might be better off discussing this topic over on MySpace. This kind of drivel gives Wikipedia a bad name. george 19:57, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per WP:BAND and discussion. BoojiBoy 19:49, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per BoojiBoy. -Big Smooth 20:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Its drivel! They didn't even bother to write anything about it or even provide an album cover. Perhaps we should stop calling them articles and start calling them Wikipedia sentences. Nobody put the least amount of effort into this. Just on that basis it should be deleted. george 20:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If you have a problem with it being too short, why don't you expand it rather than wait for other people to do so? Aplomado  talk 20:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That is the classic Wikipedia argument - why don't you expand it. The reason I don't is there's nothing to say. Its so unnotable that even one sentence is too much said. george 20:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I won't argue with you. As User:Gwernol has aptly put it on your talk page: We are not here to build "the Encyclopedia of things that George finds inoffensive" nor "the Encyclopedia of stuff George has heard of". Aplomado  talk 20:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, apparantly we are building the encyclopedia of topics that nobody bothered to write anything about, even the person who created the article! george 20:29, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge Non-notable albums by notable bands should be merged into the band article. It betters serves the information. Ted 20:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Still delete nobody has anything to say about it. Its a Wikipedia sentence, not an article. george 21:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep It's the first single by a highly notable band- that's all that needs to be said. I don't care what the single's name is, and I'd like to politely refer User:Georgeccampbell to WP is not censored. In addition, his idea that an article should be deleted because it's only a sentence is equal to the statement that every single stub should be deleted, which is ludicrous. -- Kicking222 21:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect Merge the content with Hole (band) and redirect to there. Juneappal 21:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. There its expanded and has a picture. This should not be deleted or merged. Should pages for singles by other artists also be deleted or merged? No. It deserves its own page. It is a major part in the history of "Hole". Its their very first single and very important.User:Caladonia
 * Should pages for singles by other artists also be deleted or merged? Many, if not most of them, should.Juneappal 21:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Template:Infobox Single is used in nearly 4,000 articles, so I think the consensus is that singles are notable on their own, as I believe they should be. Singles often make or break the careers of contemporary artists, and with some work they can make for good stand-alone articles. -Big Smooth 22:02, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, obviously a notable single by a very notable band. Not a speedy candidate, however. --badlydrawnjeff talk 22:50, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
