Bring It Back Home

Series of articles about Guns N'Roses songs which were never released but have leaked onto Youtube. Doubt has been expressed whether they are genuine, but anyway they fail WP:MUSIC#Songs: "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article." These songs were never even released, and the articles can only say "Not much is known... except that it was written by the band but was never published onto a record." One similar article was deleted at AfD last September. JohnCD (talk) 15:54, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Some songs seem not to be originally by GNR (but other artists, with proper releases etc.) what could make them somewhat notable. Any info is highly appreciated.--Avant-garde a clue-hexa Chord ² 16:00, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all: non-notable songs WP:NSONGS. JamesBurns (talk) 07:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I vote to delete all of these alleged songs by Guns n Roses. These are articles about songs that may not even exist. They cannot be verified. Question: How notable can a song be if it has never been published? Answer: Not at all.Esasus (talk) 20:12, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We might add Cornshucker (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).--Avant-garde a clue-hexa Chord ² 20:18, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment by nom. - I omitted those two because unlike the first lot they each had a little bit of information and I thought I'd nominate them separately later; but no objection to including them here if no-one else objects. JohnCD (talk) 22:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I had a look around today and did not find much info to rescue them. Usually I don't like articles to be deleted (if not no-brainers) - but - ehm - guess they're lost. If someone wants to build a list of unreleased GNR songs or what...--Avant-garde a clue-hexa Chord ² 22:53, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. Rlendog (talk) 20:50, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Question — isn't Night Crawler notable enough? (At least I remember listening to it as a kid, and it was mentioned on an episode of Beavis and Butt-head) I'm not going to look for anything on it, but it seems like might be. MuZemike 02:50, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You must be thinking about the song of the same name by Judas Priest Esasus (talk) 18:31, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: consensus - The series of non-released songs, allegedly by Guns N' Roses, was proposed for deletion by JohnCD. Via the discussion is appears to me that the consensus is to Delete. 3 have voted to delete, and one has nominated other suspect articles to the list. Only [SMSpivey] has suggested that these songs be rescused Merge and Redirect to a new section in Guns N' Roses. I strongly suggest that these songs be immediately deleted as per the consensus:

Goodnight Tonight (Guns N' Roses song)

Liqour and Whores

Night Crawler

Sentimental Movie

Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll

Sorry I Ruined the Show

Too Much Too Soon (song)

Cornshucker

Ain't Goin' Down

If somebody wishes to create a new article, or new Guns N' Roses' section of "Rumored Guns N' Roses songs", then they would be clear to give it a go. Esasus (talk) 18:21, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all per Esasus, including Bring It Back Home. Bearian (talk) 20:15, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all, no question. Not only do they failWP:MUSIC, but they are also intrinsically unverifiable. Maybe a sentence or two would be appropriate on the Guns N' Roses page, but they are clearly not supported as separate articles. LSD (talk)
