Decatur, or, Round of Applause for Your Step Mother!

Non-notable song. Only claim to notability is to being by a notable artist, but notability isn't inherited. Never released as a single. "References" don't attest to notability but instead try to back up the creator's interpretation of a line or two in the song. Delete. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 11:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Much as I adore this album, Wikipedia is not songfacts and there is no separate notability for this song. --Dhartung | Talk 20:06, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctantly delete, while resisting the urge to point out that every bloody Beatles song has its own article... But yes, Decatur, or, Round of Applause for Your Step Mother!, is not notable, being part of a great album isn't enough. MookieZ 22:04, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I couldn't find any mention of the song in the two references. Obviously worth a mention in the album though. Spellcast 06:35, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article solely consists of information already in the article on the album ("is a song on {album} by {artist}") and the author's original interpretation of a few lines on the song. As the song was never released as a single and does not seem to be particularly notable, the page can probably better be redirected to Illinois (album).
