Article about a song, not properly referenced as passing WP:NSONG. As always, songs are not automatically entitled to have their own standalone articles just because they exist, and have to demonstrate a notability claim supported by WP:GNG-worthy reliable sourcing -- but this just claims that the song exists without documenting anything (chart success, awards, etc.) that would constitute a notability claim at all, and cites absolutely no referencing whatsoever.
A redirect to the album it came from would obviously also be perfectly appropriate, but since that's the kind of thing that tends to trigger revert wars I'm not prepared or willing to unilaterally impose that without consensus.
But this needs a more meaningful notability claim than just existing, and GNG-worthy reliable sourcing about the song itself to support it, before it qualifies for its own standalone article as a separate topic from the album. Bearcat (talk) 13:55, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

- I agree. Nothing about the song is notable other then it's a promo single, which isn't a good enough reason, especially when taking into account the lack of any sources and minimal content. CleoCat16 (talk) 20:16, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Evil Empire (album). Various other songs on that album have their own articles and some of those are dubious as well, but at least the others were released as singles, analyzed by journalists, or nominated for awards. "Down Rodeo" has never done much more that exist. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:12, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
