Why Should I Be Sad?

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is an album track on Britney Spears' latest record. There is no news or source stating that this will be released as a single, nor is there any information on a possible music video. The song does not seem to have any notability other than the fact that it appears on her album. Although the article's writing is not poor per se (there are even footnotes) I question the notability of this track... seems to be written by a fan who particularly likes this one song. Does it really need its own article? eo (talk) 13:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I can't see no harm in this song having it's own article, to be frank. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.243.158.80 (talk) 13:53, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * My opinion: I can't we this song shouldn't have it's own article? The song 'Touch of My Hand' from 'In the Zone' also has it's own page, even tough it has never been released as a single or even as a airplay track.
 * It seems that Touch of my Hand has received some notice among reviewers, juding by the four quotes on the page, making it notable. Even if this were not the case, asserting that x has its own page so why not y is not an argument for keeping y. It is only an arguement for deleting x. Redfarmer (talk) 14:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Blackout (Britney Spears album), non-notable song. Some of the information could conceivably be merged into Blackout (Britney Spears album). No prejudice for re-creation should this become a single or something else notable happens. Redfarmer (talk) 14:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I created the Wikipage for the song and i think that it should have its own page because many unrelease song from different artist have their own page because they were succesful and this song is succesful too. It has already been reviewd by professional critics including Rolling Stones and its getting airplay so thats why i think the page should Stay. User:password16 (talk) 14:40, 4  January 2008
 * Non-single songs that have their own article are notable for some reason or another (think "Stairway to Heaven"). I don't feel that this one is.  It's just an album track, and critics have only reviewed this song as part of an overall review for the album.  As far as airplay is concerned, I see no sources or chart action regarding this. - eo (talk) 22:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have no opinon on this, except that if it gets merged into the album article, then Touch of My Hand should be merged into its album's article too, since Why Should I Be Sad has quite a detailed article compared to that... – Alensha   talk  13:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
