Thoughts on a Grey Day

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Also included in nomination:



Not all songs by notable artists are notable as WP:NSONGS makes clear. Thoughts on a Grey Day and Sunny Side of Heaven are stubs about tracks from the same album (Bare Trees) for which there is no notability independent of the album. RichardOSmith (talk) 12:20, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

This AfD is also related to WP:Articles for deletion/Freedom (Fleetwood Mac song) - two tracks from a different Fleetwood Mac album. RichardOSmith (talk) 12:27, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete both or redirect to Bare Trees. The author of these articles has no regard for notability guidelines. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:09, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Sunny Side. Delete or redirect for Thoughts The creator of the article has added some info to Sunny Side. I have also added some more content as well. I believe this article passes. Thoughts on a Grey Day doesn't have any reliable sources. Dobbyelf62 (talk) 14:20, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see how the additional content asserts any greater notability. Indeed, much of it ("the song, like many of the songs on that album were critically under looked") is commentary and should be removed again. RichardOSmith (talk) 15:40, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I must admit, I'm not seeing anything at Sunny Side that makes it notable. It's the B-side of a single that didn't chart, and while it's a great tune, there's just nothing Wiki-notable about it. I could write an article of that standard about every single Mac song, and that wouldn't be helpful. If a song wasn't a single, then it really needs plenty of info and more proper sources to make it article-worthy. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:37, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do to improve Sunny Side of Heaven. I could easily add a critical reception paragraph to give the article more substance. Dobbyelf62 (talk) 23:03, 16 July 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Redirect both to Bare Trees. Article fails WP:V, WP:GNG, etc. MrWooHoo (talk) 03:21, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect both to Bare Trees. I don't think they are detailed enough for a standalone article. Random86 (talk) 07:39, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
