Unknown Ballad

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No significant coverage in reliable sources, fails WP:GNG. Author contested PROD with reasoning that the song has been discussed in "album reviews, discography websites, videos, progressive rock discussion forums, and fan groups of ELP and of the renowned remix engineer Steven Wilson" but almost none of those are reliable or can be used for establishing notability.

 * Trim and merge to Spontaneous Combustion (English band) or possibly Tarkus. Bondegezou (talk) 10:57, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable bonus track. WP:NSONGS states that song reviews within the context of album reviews do not qualify for notability. Most sources in this article are from unreliable sources i.e. Twitter, Discogs, Facebook. Song has not even charted to denote any sign of potential coverage in independent, non-trivial sources.

 * Delete - Total fancruft from the ELP crowd. This song actually has an interesting story, with detective work decades later on who was involved, but the song itself is not notable. As noted by the nominator, the story has only been revealed in social media chatter, and this WP article is dependent on magazine sources that are actually about the album and mention this song briefly or not at all. The presence of Spontaneous Combustion at the ELP session could be mentioned briefly at the Tarkus article. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:19, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Tarkus: Definitely WP:FANCRUFT. A brief description about it in the target article will suffice. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:00, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable.  A brief mention in the Tarkus article should indeed be wholly sufficient.  RobinCarmody (talk) 14:26, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
