Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Thriller (Fall Out Boy song)

Spot check

 * 1) Rolling Stone: "It felt like a time warp back to 2006, and when the group took the stage and launched into “Thriller,” the squeals were deafening." -> This is a concert review and that's the only mention to the song, a mere passing mention that the article references twice
 * 2) Guitar.com: "As much as contemporary reviews were quick to complain about the record’s lack of hardcore edge, opening track Thriller clearly didn’t get the memo. Guitarist Joe Trohman’s relentless right hand providing a chugging pulse that electrifies the track, and lights up similarly hardcore-adjacent tracks on the record like Carpal Tunnel of Love, You’re Crashing But You’re No Wave and G.I.N.A.S.F.S. among others." -> Passing mention on an album context.
 * 3) The Aquarian: it doesn't even mention "Thriller"
 * 4) MusicOHM]: "They’ve netted a big fish in Jay-Z for a guest appearance, but his contribution is over if you blink a little too hard after pressing play, little more than a lazy, cursory intro to the rat-a-tat explosion of Thriller." -> Passing mention on an album context.
 * 5) Billboard Hot 100: not about the song
 * 6) Rolling Stone: "Fall Out Boy open the album with “Thriller,” named after a Michael Jackson album they’d love to outsell, with a go-get-’em intro from label boss Jay-Z. Now that they’re famous, they have even more sordid secrets to dish about, and it suits them." -> Passing mention on an album context.
 * EW: "The song [...] is a meditation on Fall Out Boy’s favorite theme, Fall Out Boy, that mixes paeans to loyal fans [...] with what is either a parody of rock-star grandeur or the genuine article" -> Passing mention on an album context.
 * 1) The Angeles Times: "Fix me in 45, he croons, romanticizing the idea of a juke-box single on the aptly named "Thriller," which not only props Michael Jackson but features a cameo by Jay-Z" -> Passing mention on an album context.
 * 2) Fallout Boy Biography: "The opening song is called 'Thriller', for the love of God - they were naming songs after the most successful album of all time, and any coyness that the band had ever had about their own potential had clearly fallen by the wayside." -> Passing mention
 * 3) Exclaim: "Hurley admits the opening breakdown in his band's 2007 tune "Thriller" was ripped off from "Islands to Burn" by Racetraitor" -> The first source that could indicate notability aside from the album. This seems to be the only source that discusses this, though.
 * 4) Slant: "The opening track “Thriller” (yes, the title is a nod to Michael Jackson) is an autobiographical recap of the last two years, with lyrics referencing the group’s own mediocre CD reviews and subsequent rise to superstar-headlining act"
 * 5) The Big Lead: Passing mention on a ranking list
 * 6) They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us: "Jay Z was on the intro for the album's first song and they called the song "thriller" because I guess Pete decided that if you're going to be famous anyway you might as well fucking go for it"
 * 7) Northern Valley Suburbanite: "That being said, from the angry, new-age anthem "Thriller" to the surprisingly complex", that's it, a trivial passing mention
 * 8) Alternative Press Magazine -> Passing mention on a ranking list
 * 9) Allmusic: It just sources the credits, four times, which can be done with a simple "Credits adapted from Allmusic.[16]"
