The Mob Rules

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This song is far less notable than the album. It should redirect to Mob Rules (album). Most of the sources mentioning this song do so in the context of the album, for instance Rolling Stone magazine talking about the 2021 album re-issues which include some previously unpublished live versions of the song. Same with Under the Radar magazine and Loudwire talking about the 2021 re-issues. Yes, the single charted in the UK at number 46, but I don't see significant discussion of the song in published sources.

 * Redirect to Mob Rules (album). I agree completely with the nominator. Mid-level chart action as a single is not significant enough for a separate article here, and the list of cover versions can be set aside as fan trivia. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:32, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect as suggested, seems like a good idea. Song didn't "hit" the same level the album did. Oaktree b (talk) 15:45, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect I agree, as well as to note that while there are no published sources for the UK chart - it fails WP:NSONG. HorrorLover555 (talk) 15:54, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect per nom. Ovinus (talk) 01:40, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I do not agree with this I sourced most of everything in this article and I really love this one article it’s about my favorite song and I’ll source whatever needs to be sourced just for it to say.

 * I would suggest looking into WP:NOTRSMUSIC. Discogs itself isn't a reliable source as it is user-generated. AllMusic is reliable as long as the sidebar isn't used, but it isn't enough to support the article, which remains undersourced. It would need more in-depth sources that can be verified. On the other hand, the article fails WP:GNG and WP:VERIFY. HorrorLover555 (talk) 01:45, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Mob Rules (album). Fails WP:NSONG per nom. Being featured in Heavy Metal soundtrack doesn't make it notable either. SBKSPP (talk) 07:04, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
