A Shot in the Arm

I am also nominating:

Delete - not every song by your favorite band is notable. Perhaps keep the singles, whichever those are, but not every single track by Wilco ever. Wickethewok 18:29, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Delete 'em all. You should have tagged them though, even though it's a pain. NTK 18:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- heheh - I'm working on it :| Wickethewok 18:53, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete all per nom... and have fun tagging!--Isotope23 18:55, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Keep singles, and delete or possibly redirect the rest. bikeable (talk) 19:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Not all of those are even songs, at least two are albums! Keep singles and albums, delete the rest if they have no substantial content, else merge and redirect to the albums. Also, Candyfloss should redirect to Cotton candy. Muzzle of Bees should redirect to Beard of bees. Reservations should redirect to Reservation. Kamera should redirect to Camera. I hate group nominations, and this is exactly why. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, Which are albums? All I saw in the articles were "song by Wilco", etc. I don't think anyone would object to a Bold redirect on the articles Andrew Lenahan mentioned above.--Isotope23 19:46, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  - Reply The original list included A Ghost Is Born and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. They were later removed by the nominator in this edit. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:59, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
    - Comment, ah gotcha... thanks!--Isotope23 20:29, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete them all; let God sort 'em out. -AED 20:59, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete the lot. Every single one of these "articles" is the same: foo is a song by the band Wilco, from their album bar. Note to author: if you can't be arsed to even tell us whether it was released as a single, don't be surprised when I can't be arsed to expand your fancruft for you. What you are saying with these articles is "I like Wilco enough to make a copy-and-paste article for every song but not to actually put any effort whatsoever into those articles". Seriously. Just zis Guy you know? 21:10, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Delete them all. Nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only way to be sure. RasputinAXP c 23:59, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete These are pretty much all one-sentence entries which provide little room for expansion. Cosign with RasputinAXP. Danny Lilithborne 01:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Keep singles, redirect the less notable songs. Royboy crashfan 01:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Deleteper nom--Zxcvbnm 01:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete per JzG. Redirects to various locations may be appropriate afterwords. Melchoir 02:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom and reasons above. Funnybunny 02:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Redirect all to the albums they are from. ...Scott⁵¹¹⁴ 03:39, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete all, nn songs. --Ter e nc e Ong 03:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
'Delete per JzG, though redirects to the albums might work. Borderline speedy, as far as I'm concerned. --Calton | Talk 04:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Keep singles and redirect others, per Roy --Hyperbole 04:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm a Wilco fan, I have a sticker on my car. But nuh-uh to all these. Keep per Royboycrashfan. T K E 04:42, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

As an aside, I'm kinda upset the user didn't include the songs from Being There T K E 04:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

~~Oh but wait, they did. Someone with the time, could you look at the contributions for User:JeffTweedyIsGod? I'm off to bed, but I figure there's more out there.~~ Wickethewok has notified the user, and they are civil about it. T K E 04:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep singles, redirect others, per Royboycrashfan et alia. Fishhead64 06:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete as per Just zis Guy you know. We really do not need this sort of thing. SorryGuy 07:21, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment. I agree, but Wilco is a Grammy winning group; singles should be kept. No luck falling asleep...sighs. T e K E 07:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC) <~ Hey, new sig!
Speedy Delete the whole cacophonous lot of them; there is no assertion of notability on any. If the original author wants to assert that any particular track entry is notable -- winning a major award in its own right -- then that's different. RGTraynor 15:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Delete all, nn. Sheehan (Talk) 08:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete all. --Ton e 10:40, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete all as per NTK. -- Kjkolb 12:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete the lot per nom. --Arnzy (Talk) 15:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Comment: According to AMG,[1] Outtasite (Outta Mind) is Wilco's only charting single, and (ironically enough) that one doesn't have an article. Don't know whether any others were released but didn't chart. -Colin Kimbrell 17:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete all An article about their album is enough. Bige1977 17:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Comment - I'd like to inform all that the editor who created these was not familiar with WP policy at the time he created these. I believe he is in agreement with the deletion at this current time, although I don't claim to speak on his behalf. Wickethewok 17:44, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Comment - Thanks Wick. Sorry for any trouble I've caused... I'll look around for something else to contribute with. JeffTweedyIsGod 18:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - We were all new once, so no worries. :) Wickethewok 19:08, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete all. - Rynne 14:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete all. --84.168.217.177 16:58, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
keep as long as they are actual songs, why not keep the pages. just expand them. Pooja.bhatt
- Ummm - an article on every song ever? Seems like a poor idea to me... Wickethewok 23:44, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Pooja - I recommend you check up on some WP policy/precedent before voting on AFD. Welcome to WP btw! Wickethewok 23:47, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - note the above user is a big sockpuppeteer, as seen in other AFDs. Wickethewok 05:14, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  - COMMENT to Wickethewok Just because I just created an account does not mean that I do not know how Wikipedia works. Your pompous and arrogant attitude is noted and completely unappreciated. Back off. Pooja.bhatt
