The Lady In My Life?

Is the final track in Thriller "The Lady In My Life" notable enough for it's own article? Besides it being featured on the greatest selling album of all time and an often covered hit one could argue it had a major influence on the songs Nite And Day (recorded by Al B. Sure) and Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun). Eatspie (talk) 00:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It used to have its own page but it was deleted as it wasnt noteworthy enough. Questions like this regarding article creation are quite important. They should really be directed at the michael jackson wikiproject. --— Realist² (Come Speak To Me) 00:26, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks for the information, and you're correct I should have posted my questions at the Michael Jackson Wikiproject however "The Lady In My Life" redirects here so I figured this would be the best place to ask. It's a shame it's not notable enough for its own article, it's really a great yet underrated song. K.H (talk) 02:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah thats why you came here, no sorry it was deleted a while back. — Realist² (Come Speak To Me) 02:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, a lot of articles on The Beatles always does articles on all the songs of their albums regardless if it was released or not. There's articles of songs by Marvin Gaye and even Prince where there's articles on non-released singles. I actually didn't dig the removal of that song's article but oh well.

It must have been stuby as well, if it was a well written article with substance they wouldnt have deleted it. But since it wasnt a single and was probably only a few lines long it was removed. Ive been tempted to start an article for the Dangerous track since its one of his most famous in live performances. — Realist² (Come Speak To Me) 00:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"To be honest, a lot of articles on The Beatles always does articles on all the songs of their albums regardless if it was released or not." I smell a WikiConspiracy! K.H (talk) 01:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah there is a conspiracy against Jackson article but theres nothing we can do about it. — Realist² (Come Speak To Me) 02:08, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article Length

44k. Seems a bit lengthy per WP:Article Size. Also needs more facts, above those recently added. Sentences like "Jackson's success was unusual for a black artist in the 1980s" could also use some editing... sure, his success was unusual, and it was unusual for ANY artist in any genre and of any race. But was there any reason the same sentence mentions a replica doll? What does that have to do with the album? Gront (talk) 19:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
