 * Weak keep, but find a better title. One of the few songs I can see having an article without being a single due to its extra notability of being banned in places like China. --badlydrawnjeff talk 23:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you positive? I found this quote:

"We've been banned in China because of the song Spies."
 * But it only gets two Google results, which for such a presumably inflammatory quote seems low. I'm also not getting any results on the Infotrac Expanded Academic database.  --zenohockey 17:10, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * More: Music Week, Dec. 17, 2005, pp. 6-7, has a reference to pirated Coldplay CDs being sold "openly" in China, though the article says it was "clearly aimed at tourists." --zenohockey 17:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Y'know, in terms of what's considered "reliable" for here, no, I'm not sure. In terms of what's up, I'm about 98% positive at this point.  I don't expect "banned in China" to sway many people, regardless. --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:40, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
