The result was delete. I'll go ahead and create a redirect to The Vines for convenience's sake, but as I don't consider this part of the consensus feel free to change the redirect target in the future. --jonny-mt 13:23, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:MUSIC, there needs to be significant coverage for albums and songs to warrant their own single in reliable independent sources. The article itself mentions that the single was strictly limited in number of copies. Also, searching doesn't reveal much coverage beyond lyrics and download sites and unofficial reviews etc..

• Keep WP:MUSIC aside, I'd say keep it because it's the band's debut album single. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 03:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Apparently unreleased single that didn't chart and wasn't on any albums; fails WP:MUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 03:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, debut single by notable band. A limited edition release is still a release. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 11:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC).[reply]

  Yes, but that doesn't subvert the requirements detailed in WP:MUSIC. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 15:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Maybe I'm missing something, but WP:MUSIC doesn't enumerate any notability criteria specifically for singles, so I'm not sure what requirements you're talking about there. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 05:37, 5 April 2008 (UTC).[reply]

  WP:MUSIC#Songs and WP:MUSIC#Albums is what I'm referring to. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 05:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, there are loads pf pages on limited singles that are being kept. How is this page any different? Titan50 (talk) 19:33, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Please see WP:ALLORNOTHING and WP:OTHERSTUFF. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 20:05, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to The Vines. Limited edition single doesn't stand alone as it didn't chart anywhere and didn't appear on any album. B.Wind (talk) 03:22, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
