X (System of a Down song)
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No indication that this is a notable song. Not a real single (promo-only), most sources are passing mentions, unreliable, or links to copyright violating footage on Youtube. My redirect to the album was reverted. Fram (talk) 13:55, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Albums and songs and United States of America. Fram (talk) 13:55, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Toxicity (album): Found no additional coverage and what's on the page is as bad as nominator says. QuietHere (talk) 14:01, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Redirect - appears to be a failure of WP:NSONGS. What little is here would be better portrayed in the respective album article (if the sourcing is there, I see a number of unreliable and iffy sources being used too.) Sergecross73   msg me  14:22, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Toxicity (album) - The song has generated some fan trivia on what the lyrics are about and when it was first played live, but that is not material for a standalone article. Per WP:NSONGS this one has not earned its own notability. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:33, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Reverted due to the use of the "under construction" tag. You should have waited. In any case, it passes WP:SIGCOV. BoxxyBoy (talk) 14:54, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Please remember to identify yourself as the article creator.
 * Please consider starting articles in the WP:DRAFT space moving forward. Even now, the article is rather incomplete for being published.
 * What sources are supposed to be providing SIGCOV exactly? Sergecross73   msg me  15:12, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Sources 8 and 9. Two sources is the minimum for WP:SIGCOV. BoxxyBoy (talk) 18:22, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Number 8 only mentions the song by name once and is mainly focused on it being an early live performance regardless of what songs they're playing. Number 9 purports to be more focused on the song itself but doesn't actually say anything substantial about it beyond that it appeared on Toxicity. And my understand is most folks look for a three source minimum, although you haven't met one here so it matters not. QuietHere (talk) 20:43, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Pretty much my thoughts as well. Additionally, I'm not sure "Metal Maniacs" is an RS either... Sergecross73   msg me  13:19, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
