World in Action (song)

No evidence of significance apart from reaching a lowly position in the UK chart, which by itself cannot establish its notability. In the absence of multiple independent non-trivial coverage of the song, it fails WP:GNG. Hzh (talk) 20:46, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: fails WP:NSONG, because at the time (1985) numbers 76 to 100 on the UK Singles Chart were not considered official chart placings, and only a strange retrospective decision by the OCC a few years ago has made a no. 93 position a chart placing. A redirect to the parent album probably isn't useful, considering how commonplace the title is (in the UK "World in Action" will almost certainly be associated with the ITV documentary series of that name).

 * Delete - I really like Richard's point about why a redirect does not make sense. Anyways, a lowly mark in the U.K. Singles Chart is not an automatic keep under WP:NSONG, considering how the chart was structured at the time. It would need to pass GNG which it falls well short of.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 16:20, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
