This was previously nominated for deletion sixteen years ago, when it was redirected to the article Hypnotize (album). There are only four sources, none of which independently discuss the song or assert any kind of notability outside of the album it appears on. I was willing to take a look at the article to see if it had improved in the years since the original discussion, and clearly it hasn't done so by much. Seems like a no-brainer redirect, but I want to open up discussion so that others can have input. JeffSpaceman (talk) 16:40, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Hypnotize (album): A no-brainer indeed. Of the sources in the article currently, one is WP:REDDIT and one is just a listing on iTunes which absolutely doesn't convey notability. The Ultimate Guitar piece, though assembled by a writer, is based on user votes and may skirt the USERG line (I'm not actually sure if that applies here but it's still questionable methinks). And the CMJ review only mentions the song briefly. I managed to find other brief mentions in reviews, but even altogether I don't see enough to make this worth keeping. I think the CMJ and Tankian AMA quotes are worth keeping and they aren't already in the album article, so if anyone wants to vote merge then I'm in support of that as well.
