Spanish Caravan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As per the tags added, completely unsourced, an orphan and as it stands shows no signs of notability. First choice (imo) would be to turn it into a redirect to the album. Second would be deletion.  Rob van  vee  08:52, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment I think the normal course of action is to redirect or delete such album tracks as non-notable. But, given that that song was performed by The Doors who had very significant amount of coverage (there are many books about the band), there are bound to be sources about the song, for example, a three-paragraph entry here. Even thought I don't think it is a particularly notable song of the band, someone with the inclination to do so can expand it to a full article, therefore I think deletion is not justifiable. The reasonable thing to do would have been to just redirect the article instead of starting an AfD and wait for someone else to expand the article. But given that it is up for an AfD, I'll wait and see if anyone is willing to expand it, otherwise it's a redirect. Hzh (talk) 13:48, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * That makes sense, thanks. I just figured that has been going on for 12 years and obviously, to date no one has yet added reliably sourced, notability determining material or it would still be in the "article".  Rob van  vee  14:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Redirect - restore the redirect to Waiting_for_the_Sun. If someone has enough sourcing to establish notability, they're welcome to recreate the article, but no need to keep it around as an unsourced stub. creffett (talk) 15:40, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect - restore to the Doors' album, as per WP:NSONG. Onel 5969  TT me 17:47, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Waiting for the Sun. This article was created in 2007 when it may have been more acceptable to have stub articles for every song on notable albums by notable bands. Wikipedia has eliminated most of those since the notability rules were tightened up, but this one survived. A redirect to the album is pretty harmless, and I agree that the song article can be resurrected in the future if someone can get reliable sources together. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 14:29, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect seems right, given that the existing article has no information, but no prejudice against recreating with appropriate sources. I have no doubt that sources exist to expand this into a full article if someone is inclined, and hopefully when someone does they will incorporate information about Krieger's performances with a string quartet.
