 * Article contains detailed analysis of the music. Is it being challenged because of lack of citation?  Is citation really needed for something like this?  Or is the appropriateness of this kind of section, what is being challenged?  It's kind of hard to tell when a large group of articles are being afd'd with a generic reason given for each.  At present, all Pink Floyd songs have articles, and most of them have enough content to justify their existence.  The few that don't, should be improved instead of being deleted.  Apparently there is a desire to mass delete, which I feel is unnecessary. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 01:46, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Should each pop song have an entry? Even if it is Pink Floyd. Do't think so. There are 100.000's of popsongs. This will water down the Wikpedia. Same applies for Who is Who entries. What does an entry about a sportsman tell the public about his contributions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.87.123.162 (talk)


 * Yes, citations are needed. Unless the analysis of the music is covered in reliable sources, providing such an analysis is original research. I still Oppose this deletion because the nominator failed to show that they put any effort in researching the article prior to nomination and merging doesn't require deletion at all. - Mgm|(talk) 09:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose There is indeed substantial content, and it should not be at all hard to find sources considering the prominence of the band. Zazaban (talk) 19:36, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - "Stay" is covered in the songbook Anthology, which I have laying somewhere around. While the chords look pretty fine for me, others may find out if the conclusions (chord progressions etc.) are WP:OR. Mabbett reflects the lyrics in his book, that could be worked into the article. -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  13:10, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep - AfD is not the place for merges/redirects. BTW: no substantial content - what? -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  22:31, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've been thinking about this, and I now this think may fall under WP:SNOW Zazaban (talk) 22:34, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
