Tora! Tora! Tora! (song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails the criteria for notability according to WP:NSONGS, which says:

Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album.

The following factors suggest that a song or single may be notable, though a standalone article should still satisfy the aforementioned criteria.

Has been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts. Has won one or more significant awards or honors, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award. Has been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups.

 * Delete. We want articles on singles and albums with chart positions and professional reviews and/or other RS coverage. Generally we don't want articles on album tracks and B sides. There will be exceptions for a very few individually notable album tracks but there is nothing to indicate that this, or the others that the author is creating, fall into that category. I fear that what we have here is a new and inexperienced editor who has misunderstood the inclusion criteria. We should try to put him right without destroying his enthusiasm for editing. --DanielRigal (talk) 10:12, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Note: Other AfDs for similar articles made under the same circumstances exist. Here is the list so far: Is there any way we can combine these? In the meantime, I'll put Prod on other similar articles to avoid making too many AfDs. --DanielRigal (talk) 10:18, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

*Speedy Delete per G5 as a page created by a blocked user (User:Igorro 666) in violation of his or her block, with no substantial edits by others. I'm going to boldly flag this and any other ones created by the same user for speedy deletion per the same criterion. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 13:45, 20 June 2015 (UTC) Redirect to Speak Spell.

 * I've declined the G5 request. Unless I'm missing some history, this article was not created while the editor in question was blocked.  Kuru   (talk)  21:39, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Many thanks ! After another look, I discovered the user had created the pages before they were blocked. Thanks for letting me know. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 21:44, 20 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete: Redirects are cheap, so redirecting to the album is possible, but a redirect is likely useless, too, in a case like this. Nothing is gained by keeping (there isn't unique information), and the song is not notable. Hithladaeus (talk) 18:59, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete not notable Heyyouoverthere (talk) 00:56, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Speak & Spell (album). Not notable, but a plausible search term for the album. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:08, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
