PROD contested by IP with no other edits. Per WP:MUSIC. Song is not independently notable, has not been released as a single or charted as such. Only results to Google search for song name + "coldplay single" are speculation that it might be released as a single. XXX antiuser ^eh? 22:20, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment There's also Chinese sleep chant, Cemeteries Of London, Yes (Song) and Yes(Song), all created by the same user. Based on the links they've added to these articles, it's likely they intend on making seperate articles for every single song on Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. -- I need a name (talk) 01:01, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Addendum: Death And All His Friends and Reing [sic] Of Love Reign Of Love too. -- I need a name (talk) 17:49, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Never released as a single and not notable outside of its parent album. I endorse the deletion of all these new pages for non-singles, since aside from the record's four singles ("Violet Hill", "Viva La Vida, "Lovers in Japan" and "Strawberry Swing"), none of these songs are notable by themselves (with "Life in Technicolor" being redirected to the article for its second version which was released as a single, if it already hasn't been redirected) Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 02:20, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all of the articles or create them as redirects to the album. If these stay, then "White Shadows" and "What If" deserve to be created as well. This is just a violation of a formed consensus.--Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 19:16, 20 February 2010
• Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC. No indication of individual notability outside of inclusion on the album.--Madchester (talk) 22:21, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment while I'm all for deleteing all of these articles, Death And All His Friends charted on the Swedish and the UK charts. the UK charts are one of the most important in the world so perhaps we can salvage something out of this article. Or is this still a violation of the notability policy for songs?--Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 02:31, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• I think if it charted as a single, then it's effectively a single, regardless of whether it was released as such. There's probably precedent for this as well. XXX antiuser ^eh? 02:58, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete no indication that this song meets WP:NSONGS, lacks coverage in 3rd party sources RadioFan (talk) 16:04, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - in agreement with above votes. Also, what's happening here is the creator of the various song articles is simply making use of recording/writing trivia on each song that will be of interest to fans, but not necessarily notable for everyone else. That stuff can be added to the album page. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:25, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
