Under the Gun (The Killers song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-single, and only charted in a low position on one chart. Article cites no references to reliable sources other thn the Billboard website. Keytar Shredder (talk) 21:38, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: It charted. Joe Chill (talk) 21:43, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:MUSIC says "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts... are probably notable [emphasis added]. Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." Since I've been unable to find any significant coverage of the song it seems likely this is the case; therefore I suggest redirecting to Hot Fuss. The only disadvantage is that we lose a place to mention its rank of 83... perhaps this could be briefly mentioned in Hot Fuss or perhaps, since the song seems to have no significant coverage anyway, we can just leave it out. My feeling is the latter but that can be established independently of this AfD. Olaf Davis (talk) 22:06, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we could implement a "Chart Positions" section into the Hot Fuss article giving the charting positions of all singles in one section, similar to discography articles. Or we could include the song in the Discography article but explain it is a charting non-single. Keytar Shredder (talk) 22:16, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, those are both good ideas actually Keytar. Olaf Davis (talk) 22:53, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Merge into either Hot Fuss or the discography article, and Redirect to Hot Fuss. Keytar Shredder (talk) 21:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge into The Killers discography and Redirect to the discography. This is an empty, useless article. Besides the trivia that this was a B-side in Britain, it has nothing to say that's not already covered in the album article or the discography. If all one can say about a song is that it charted, it shouldn't have a separate article; that's what footnotes are for. The track wasn't originally released with Hot Fuss, and the discography lists it under Other charted songs, so it makes sense to redirect to the discography rather than to the album.
