The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. With the sources MookieZ cited now included in the article, the keep arguments are stronger than those in favor of deletion. Mgm|^(talk) 09:10, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Solar System (song)

The article essentially reiterates the infobox; there is no content or notability here and this is probably true for dozens of Beach Boys song articles. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A7. The band is notable, the album is notable, but there seems to be nothing to signify notability of this particular song. HJMitchell You rang? 21:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Love You (album). Mandsford (talk) 01:19, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as an unlikely redirect term, fails notability per WP:MUSIC#Songs. No awards, no chart, no covers, no WP:RS. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 03:34, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This page does need work. But, according to WP:N, the general notability guideline is: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." Off the top of my head, I can think of at least two sources which deal with this song in sufficient detail, Inside The Music Of Brian Wilson by Phillip Lambert, and Andrew G. Doe & John Tobler's book which I forget the name of at the moment. So, in my opinion, it passes the notability guideline. Again, though, it does need work.

Don't forget Peter Carlin's book. Rlendog (talk) 19:12, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per MookieZ, passes WP:N due to multiple independent sources covering the song. And WP:N trumps WP:MUSIC, since WP:MUSIC is just an add on to the general notability standard. And the title is perfectly valid and appropriate per WP:DAB. Rlendog (talk) 17:32, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No proof of notability (the title must be changed in order to avoid confusion with scientific content) Rirunmot (talk) 01:44, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

Comment when someone actually finds and cites the sources, they can be judged better. DGG (talk) 00:09, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It didn't apparently chart, or otherwise meet indications of notability as a stand alone. I recommend against a redirect, although it's preferable to a keep. Every song on an album does not warrant an article of its own. Shadowjams (talk) 09:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
