The result was redirect to parent album articles. What and where to merge, as always, is an editorial decision, as there is a clear interest in doing so, histories will be left intact. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 08:05, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Foreword (Linkin Park song)

Non notable, non single, 13 second long song, article contains no notable info or sources. An exaple of over zealous article creation. Rehevkor 01:52, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same reason, non notable non singles with no or unreliable sources:

Merge & redirect most. "Forward" page might make an interesting note on the album's page, but "This is a thirteen second intro to the multi-million second studio album" is a bit of a stretch for independent notability. Some are just "$SONG is the $NUMBER track on the album" statements. Several others appear to be solely an extended quote from a member of the band...WP is not a collection of liner notes. "Session" is only one that seems to assert real notability. DMacks 02:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

True, Session does has some notability, but there's not enough info to warrent it's own page.. Can be merged into the album page. Rehevkor 02:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. We're already in AfD land, so let it run its course, but note that if merge/redirect was the initial goal, could have just been bold and done so without needing admin help or AfD noms. DMacks 02:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect all except Session - the Grammy nomination and film usage is (barely) enough to establish notability (but these must be sourced). The rest are, as noted, quotes about the songs from a magazine interview. Otto4711 02:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mergethese have no notability, except Session, and most cannot be sourced easily Patar knight 21:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all the songs to the appropriate Linkin Park album(s) articles where they are listed, or to the band if they are true singles with no album afiliation. I too find it very odd and confusing that the AfD nominator put the songs up for deletion, and then proposed redirection instead. Whatever. --T-dot (Talk | contribs) 16:26, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. Wasn't thinking I guess, changed it now.. Rehevkor 17:48, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

comment - what precisely is the WP criterion of notability for a song nowadays? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 04:52, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
