Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marigold (song)
There's no doubt the current article needs to be improved, but that's hardly a valid reason for deletion.  As to the song's notability, it appears to be notable for several different reasons, some of which I admit I am lifting directly from the article's talk page.  In , it is stated that "Songs that ... have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable."  This song certainly qualifies, since the Foo Fighters, Nirvana, and Dave Grohl solo/in early bands all have recorded this song, and those artists are some of the most notable in rock history.  It was mentioned on the talk page that this song "didn't chart, didn't sell, it's not notable", but there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of song articles on Wikipedia that were never on any Billboard chart, so that's not a valid reason for deletion.  Finally, even the argument on this nomination page seems slightly biased: It is stated that "Throughout its lifespan, the page has been primarily redirected to Heart-Shaped Box, the single it appears on." - the thing is, that's just not true, lots of people have contributed to this article in its history and most of the redirecting seems to have been done by one user, WesleyDodds, who, coincidentally, happens to also be nominating the article for deletion. I have a feeling that personal feelings and a desire to "win" are affecting his judgement of this song, and for any article to be deleted because of the actions and feelings of one user, I think, hurts Wikipedia in the long run.  Considering the considerable interest in this song, and the fact that  considers it notable, I think working on this article to bring it up to Wikipedia standards is the more desirable option, rather than deletion.  There is plenty of information available on it, we just need to find it and cite it.  —Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by
