The Root of All Evil (song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This individual song, along with The Glass Prison, This Dying Soul, Repentance (song), The Shattered Fortress, make up Dream Theater's Twelve-step Suite. Although the Twelve-step Suite has received enough coverage in reliable sources to make it notable, each individual song in the suite does not have enough coverage to warrant an entire article to itself.

As such, this nomination is not just for The Root of All Evil (song), but also for:

Note that Repentance (song) is currently a redirect to Systematic Chaos, the album it was released on. Una LagunaTalk 17:27, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Redirect to respective album articles, kind of like how Repentance (song) is. They are all unsourced and have an unencyclopedic format, considering the indepent section for "movements" and such. None of them seem to have singles attributed to them, either. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 23:21, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Redirect all to respective album articles - as suggested above. This is the best option for procedural reasons. If any Dream Theater fans happen to read this, I suggest that all of those album articles have well-constructed links to Twelve-step Suite because that article is surely notable for the band's history. There is just no need for awkward tri-directional links among suite, albums, and songs. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 18:54, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
