This Is the Life ("Weird Al" Yankovic song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I boldly redirected this a few years ago as it didn't seem to meet WP:NSONGS. But recently, a few IP addresses have seen fit to undo the redirect. As far as I can tell, this song was never a charted single, nor was anything specific ever written about it; by all aspects of WP:NSONGS it seems to fail. Suggest deletion or locked redirection to the album. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:01, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete or Page protect - Per nom; doesn't appear to meet WP:NSONGS. Unable to immediately find significant coverage. NickCT (talk) 18:12, 8 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect then indef protect - Non notable song - Fails Nsong, (As for indef protection I personally think it's the best option but not sure so will leave with deciding admin if this option is preferred). – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  01:20, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Specific things have been written about it. And being the theme tune for a movie seems adequate impact for it to be a separate page. Andrew D. (talk) 23:19, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with ; I think the strict interpretation of WP:NSONG behind the nomination is too strict here, and doesn't facilitate the organization of legitimate encyclopedic content about songs. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:49, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. It clearly fails WP:NSONG. The argument that "Specific things have been written about it" is only valid if there is enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. I don't see that coverage. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 01:11, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing there to make this song notable, not even the "references" --Richhoncho (talk) 19:47, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
