Talking Old Soldiers

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

And I quote from the original author, "Though having achieved little fame..." This article fails to establish how its subject is notable. Being included in an early album or having a demo version released is not substantial enough to make it notable, and being "a favorite of earlier fans" is far too unquantifiable to rely on for notability - not to mention original research.

 * Can't we just merge anything useful to Tumbleweed Connection and then leave a redirect? Hiding T 19:09, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably should have mentioned that my suggestion is merge if there can be anything useful found and redirect, though I see little of use in the article to begin with. Khalfani  Khaldun  19:38, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: article fails to establish notability. No charts, no covers, non-notable. JamesBurns (talk) 09:34, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –  Juliancolton  | Talk 00:00, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC. No awards, no chart, no covers, no WP:RS.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 09:56, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge(?) and Redirect: The article does clearly does not pass WP:NSONGS. In my opinion any useful and verifiable information, which seems to be sadly lacking (if there is indeed none, then a simple redirect whould be fine), should be merged to Tumbleweed Connection, then redirect Talking Old Soldiers to Tumbleweed Connection.
