Wake Up (Rage Against the Machine song)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable non-single without enough coverage in reliable sources. Almax999 (talk) 01:53, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * BE BOLD and redirect to Rage_Against_the_Machine_(album).  Lugnuts  (talk) 08:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Decent enough third party sourcing. IIRC, this song was also featured on the soundtrack for The Matrix. I'll see if I can find some sources for that. Glass  Cobra  11:35, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Err, howabout sourcing that to the closing credits of The Matrix, where it is quite apparent. :) JulesH (talk) 00:40, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect This article does not seem to be encyclopedic or notable enough. Redirect to Rage Against the Machine (album).--74.163.253.149 (talk) 22:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as it isn't a charting single. Tavix (talk) 00:51, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Surely there is more to notability than just that... Drmies (talk) 01:57, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - I am sorry to ask this question, but did anyone do a quick Google search to see if this may be Notable enough for inclusion? Just a quick entry, under very specific parameters produced these results, .  I believe they fulfill the requirements of inclusion here. Rewrite yes, deletion, No. ShoesssS Talk 02:11, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Agree If this article is rewritten using these sources, it may be notable enough to keep.--65.8.237.87 (talk) 01:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Those sources look more like reviews of RATM shows that mention the song. I didn't see any evidence of the "media furor" claimed in the article. Even the Spin reference given in the article only mentions a single show that attacked De La Rocha's speech during a live performance. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  23:44, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. One of the band's best known songs, even if it wasn't released as a single.  Use as closing theme in a highly influential film also suggests notability. JulesH (talk) 00:40, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
