Considering the song is only a B side, it is likely undeserving of its own article per WP:MUSIC songs. Wisdom89 _{(_T / ^C)} 18:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was merited, as it could be a part of the collection of Oasis songs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Oasis_songs)? Kidmercury (talk) 18:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC)kidmercury[reply]

Yeah, I understand your position. But per the notability guideline for songs, if the criteria cannot be met, then usually they are deleted or merged into an appropriate article - in this case perhaps an Oasis discography or an album. Wisdom89 _{(_T / ^C)} 18:50, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's not really about notability, it's just that there doesn't seem to be much to say about it with third party reliable sources. We are not a directory of songs. The JPS ^{talk to me} 18:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per WP:MUSIC: Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. A separate article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; permanent stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album. This song does not meet any of those criteria. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Given the last clause of what you quoted, why do you say delete instead of merge? —Quasirandom (talk) 22:40, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's the editor's prerogative really. "Should merge" is different than "must be merged". Wisdom89 _{(_T / ^C)} 23:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
