Iron Maiden's lyrical themes and inspirations: The Iron Maiden#Musical style and influences section itself is much-better sourced and comprehensive, and sufficient without this page.

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 20:42, 27 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete as an unnecessary and short spin out.  This sort of content should be covered at Iron Maiden#Musical style and influences .  Very little of it is sourced and not redundant to the main article, so no need for a merge, and I don't feel like it's a particularly likely search term either, so probably doesn't require a redirect either.  Sergecross73 msg me 20:48, 27 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Maybe it should be covered in this section of the main article.  As an author, I think someone should try to use the content from may art to create something correct.  RALFFPL ( talk ) 17:24, 29 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Far too many of the entries in your article are unsourced, and without a source, would violate WP:NOR .  Until this is addressed, it can't be placed in the main Iron Maiden article.  Sergecross73 msg me 13:45, 31 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Unnecessary and pretty trivial.  Shankargb ( talk ) 02:26, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete but agree with User:Sergecross73 that the literary and historical themes should be covered on the band's main page, I will try and make a start on that today.  Orange sticker ( talk ) 11:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] As the author of the article I improved the content, added sources, links, data, and more details.  Originally I planned to add to the main article info about the lyrics of Iron Maiden - mainly describing the inspirations and connections between their music and dramaturgy and lyrical content.  The problem is with the band's catalog which contains numerous songs based on historical events, films, novels, etc.  You may check my article and choose fragments to use them.  And referring to the deleting process - if we have a bunch of info about the lyrics on the artists' arts on Wikipedia, so - why can't I write a little about IM ones?  Not interesting content (?) for whom and why?  I can not understand this kind of limitation and restriction policy.

HorrorLover555 ( talk ) 17:29, 29 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Sorry, it's about semantical context.  I called myself an "author" regarding the fact I have started publishing the content, nothing less and more.  Ownership is no reason, I'm just a member of the community and trying to develop some articles on Wiki.  Referring to the subject of Iron Maiden lyrics I try to improve the article.  Regards RALFFPL ( talk ) 18:09, 29 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Unnecessary and clearly not sufficiently useful or encyclopedic information to justify preserving the page history by redirecting.  Psychastes ( talk ) 18:36, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Definitely WP:FANCRUFT and per Sergecross73's reason.  HorrorLover555 ( talk ) 15:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak delete A topic like this certainly seems like something that could justify an article depending on how much research academics have poured into the subject (for example I'm sure a dedicated Beatlemaniac could make one for said band), but in this case I don't think the article justifies itself with enough quality sources.  ★Trekker ( talk ) 21:11, 29 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Draftify I was skeptical at first but the subject may be notable.  See [this book by Routledge https://books.google.com/books?id=DOoGDAAAQBAJ ]: "...the more widely disseminated (and hence culturally significant) work of major bands such as Iron maiden...Campbell questions whether the traditionalism inherent in adopting classical paradigms undermines the ostensibly radical ideology adopted by some bands, or whether for others it simply underlines what is a surprisingly conservative standpoint"...I'm convinced by this that the subject is notable even if the article is not ready for mainspace.  Ben Azura ( talk ) 12:23, 2 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I dont think said article would look anything like this though.  It's not currently an article, it's nothing but unsourced example bloat and name dropping.  It reads more like something you'd read on a fansite or fan wikia.  Sergecross73 msg me 15:02, 2 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I agree with Sergecross73.  It feels like it would be more suited for the Iron Maiden fandom wiki.  HorrorLover555 ( talk ) 18:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] THX for your opinion, I have improved the art a lot.  I think the article referring to the lyrical content of every artist which we use to describe as "legendary" is worth publishing.  RALFFPL ( talk ) 20:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comments - I don't suggest this is an easy deletion, but as it's currently written, this is an essay, not an article.  Userfy?  Bearian ( talk ) 15:38, 3 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete a typical example of Iron Maiden fancruft which has subtly proliferated on wiki.  ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk ) 16:41, 3 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.
