Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Every track from Synchestra

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 delete all. Merges were considered. However, there is no material worth merging into the album article, and searches for the individual songs are unlikely. A delete does not prevent an article being created later with the same name. SilkTork *^YES! 22:52, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These are all non-notable tracks from a barely notable album, Devin Townsend's Synchestra. There are no sources cited, and the articles consist almost entirely of very long, unsourced quotes from Townsend, with a little bit of original research thrown in. They do not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability of individual songs. A merge is not appropriate since there is no usable content in the articles. —Heavyboat (Talk) 03:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete No sources ==> no article. A dummy merge (replace unencyclopedic content with a redirect) in case by some chance any of this might be useful in the future would also be an option. All articles were started for the spinout from the album and appear to have mostly trivial revision histories, but it would not surprise me if there exist more notable songs that might be created at some of these titles. - Eldereft (cont.) 07:42, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete the lot, none pass notability per WP:MUSIC#Songs.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 07:44, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Vampira (song) which appears to be a single and has more information than all the others and tag it for cleanup. Delete the others. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, it was never released as a single. Townsend just shot a low-budget video for it, which was only released through his website. That's enough to go in the album article, since there aren't any sources that discuss the song independent of the album. —Heavyboat (Talk) 14:22, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge anything useful with the article on the album. There are pretty cut-and-dried notability requirements for indiviudal song articles, and unless these recordings have attained historical import, have been profiled in major media, have been widely released as singles, or have otherwise been hits, I don't see a need to have an article on every song. 23skidoo (talk) 17:32, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
