The subject passes .  There are several books that cover the song in some detail, for example Blaney's ''Lennon and McCartney: together alone : a critical discography of their solo work'', du Noyer's ''John Lennon: Whatever Gets You Through the Night'', Johnny Rogan|Rogan's ''The Complete Guide to the Music of John Lennon'', Madinger and Easter's ''Eight Arms to Hold You'' and Urish and Bielen's ''The Words and Music of John Lennon''.  And that's just a non-exhaustive list from books in my personal collection. Notability is determined by the availabilty of multiple published sources independent of the subject, not the current state of the article.  The nominator made similar claims about the non-notability of other Lennon songs, such as "Meat City" http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meat_City&diff=528197061&oldid=524328971 and "Well Well Well (John Lennon song)|Well Well Well" http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Well_Well_Well_%28John_Lennon_song%29&diff=528198848&oldid=502136494 and those were quickly turned into decent articles.  It will take some time to complete all the songs that the nominator wishes to redirect, but their notability is similar to "Meat City" and "Well Well Well (John Lennon song)|Well Well Well" and so should be kept.  Further, contrary to the nomination, at least one of the facts in the article as it exists today are not covered in the ''Mind Games'' article: the specific instruments played (and by whom) on the song.  It is particularly inappropriate that the nominator wishes to "delete and redirect," since deletion prior to redirecting (even if redirecting were appropriate) would unnecessarily require an editor to perform additional work to restore the information that currently when expanding the article
