Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Take the Time


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   redirect. There is consensus that a standalone article is not justified, the nominator was amenable to a redirect/merge, and the two editors favouring deletion did not indicate why a redirect would be inappropriate, so following Cunard's rationale. Editors are free to take whatever useful material in the history of the redirected article and use it elsewhere if appropriate. Skomorokh 17:55, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Take the Time

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:NSONG tells us three things relevant to this nomination. First, "[m]ost songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article." Second, songs must must the requirements of WP:GNG, although placement on "national or significant music charts ... [or winning] significant awards or honors" establishes a presumption of notability. And third, even if a song is notable, it should only be treated in a separate article "when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article...." This song fails to clear that hurdle and should be deleted or merged into Images and Words.

This article was previously nominated for deletion in a batch with ten other Dream Theater songs, see Articles for deletion/Pull Me Under. The closing admin, user:SilkTork, concluded that since the multiple listing was complex, the nominated articles agreed as the least notable should be redirected, and the rest should be relisted individually. Per this and my 21:56, 12 August comment at the previous nomination, I have redirected The Silent Man, Hollow Years, Home, A Right of Passage, and Forsaken, as there appeared to be rough consensus to delete them, and am individually relisting Pull Me Under, Take the Time, Another Day, Lie, Through Her Eyes, and Constant Motion - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 18:03, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Images and Words, this song's album as the best alternative to deletion. This article contains useful information that could be used in a merge to Images and Words. Cunard (talk) 18:08, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment the song charted at 29 in 1993 just as the reference in the article states. (note that the reference was added after the initial nomination).  --kelapstick (talk) 22:51, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * But charting doesn't suffice for a standalone article, per NSONGS. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 22:57, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
