Colors (Crossfade song)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non notable song. Although the song charted, there is no justifiable reason for an independent article. As per WP:MUSIC, "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, ... are probably notable" and "Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article". A huge description of the music video does not constitute a detailed or informative article, with "significant coverage in reliable sources" also lacking and thus failing WP:GNG.

Redirect to Crossfade, as per WP:NSONGS, which states that: "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song." If the redirect is reverted, an admin can always protect the page.--hkr Laozi speak 17:28, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to ~~We All Bleed~~ Crossfade (album) as stated above. Also, it's apparent that a fan of the band is pushing for these marginal song articles without appreciation for notability guidelines, so maybe protecting will be necessary. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:44, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with this decision, but thought it should be pointed out that this one shouldn't be redirected to We All Bleed, it's not on that album. It's on their self-titled album. (And no, I'm not the fan who keeps making these articles.) Sergecross73 msg me 20:34, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oops, my mistake. The prose in my vote above has been fixed accordingly. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:23, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I understand these aren't the easiest search terms, but has anyone looked to see if this song article is expandable? - Theornamentalist (talk) 18:23, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I have, and this song (and others by the same band that are currently in the AfD stage) have not been discussed by reliable third-party sources as separate entities from their respective albums. So anything that can be said about these songs (which isn't much) can be said at the album articles. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:22, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
