Keep. Somewhere in here there is a notable single that reached #34 in the UK Singles Chart. We seem to have a little confusion in the articles related to this - it was a regular single with two tracks (FICS15 - although it isn't listed as a single in the band's discography article), with an additional limited double-7" format with 4 tracks (FICG15), as occasionally happened in that era. I would suggest that it be treated as an article about "The Hanging Garden", the regular single which is the primary release, which I believe is notable. It is reviewed here. It was also recorded by AFI and the song's title was taken by Ian Rankin for the title of one of his books. Enough has been written about the band that it seems unlikely that this isn't covered further. It would also have been reviewed in the music press of the time. --Michig (talk) 08:53, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Charting single that was covered at the time of the release. I've got a print copy of the NME review (10 July 1982, page 21); not a positive review, but it refers to the double 7" release in a review titled "The Hanging Gardens" -- Foetusized (talk) 00:21, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Move to The Hanging Garden (song) per Michig. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:14, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep charting single, notable band. Not really seeing the problem here. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:33, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
