This is an article on a song that has been posted on Mandy Moore's official MySpace page, but there are absolutely zero references supporting the assertion that it has been released as a single. When I redirected it to the album article, the original author, Parys (talk · contribs), reverted me; when I asked him/her for sources, he/she didn't provide any and told me I was "wrong". Because nothing is referenced (there's a huge slab of original research concerning the meaning of the song and comparisons with Moore's previous material), there's nothing to merge into the album article. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Extraordinary Machine 15:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I was NEVER asked to provide Machine any sources in his message, that is a lie. but since he requires some here you go. 1 2 3 4 i could go on forever. but i am tired. Parys 16:25, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know why you say I'm lying, when it's all there to read in the edit histories [1] [2] [3] ? Regarding the "sources" you list: the first one has "hot off the press" news that is inaccurate (e.g. Dido's next album doesn't have a release date yet, contrary to what that website reports), the last three are blog posts. These are not reliable sources. You say the song is already being played by radio stations, but it doesn't appear on this Mediabase chart. The release of "Extraordinary" as a single is not even mentioned in the official press release about the album from Moore's record label, or Moore's MySpace, or her official website.

- Delete and redirect to something... I can't think of anything appropriate right now, but that name should not remain vacant, I think. --Nlu (talk) 17:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- For the lack of anything better, delete and redirect to writ. --Nlu (talk) 16:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- If you really don't want it blank, perhaps a soft redirect to wiktionary would suffice? GassyGuy 16:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as per nomination - no reliable sources. Hang on in there Extraordinary Machine. Madmedea 21:58, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. --Kurt Shaped Box 22:33, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Non-notable song. Not even the most notable song with this title. GassyGuy 05:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Then we must delete the unreleased michael jackson songs, the numerous all over wikipedia. Parys 14:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- You may very well be correct, but could you point to the specific offenders? I did a quick glance at Category:Michael Jackson songs and it looks like it's populated with his released singles. GassyGuy 15:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- You know where they are - nominate them for deletion yourself if you believe them to be non-notable. There's lots of articles on WP that probably deserve to be deleted, it's just that they frequently go unnoticed. --Kurt Shaped Box 23:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- 1 a leaked song that never was released as a single along with that gangsta song. But it strange we are all over a mandy moore song that has atleast questionable valid release. Parys 23:30, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
