Capital G (song) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Believed to be the second single off of the new Nine Inch Nails album Year Zero. Was tagged for speedy, but speedy was invalid, and now we have some prod warring, so moving here. No clue whether this will really be the second single, but if it is, it's entirely likely to be recreated if deleted anyway. This is simply procedural for the sake of avoiding an edit war between two other parties, so I'm abstaining. badlydrawnjeff talk 13:40, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Yes, WP:NOT is not criteria for speedy, so I apologize for my folly there. Again, the only "source" that this is the second single is that the sticker on the front of the album says "16 noisy new songs, including Survivalism and Capital G." (Survivalism is the first single from the record.) As it stands, this song is not notable, and is simply a track off of a Nine Inch Nails record. –King Bee ^{(τ • γ)} 14:04, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It has been confirmed that the song is the second single. –King Bee ^{(τ • γ)} 12:49, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Confirmed where? It probably is, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. BotleySmith 21:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The Nine Inch Nails hotline has confirmed it; since they're linked from the official nine inch nails website, I have faith in them as being a reliable source. –King Bee ^{(τ • γ)} 22:07, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Yeah, but their source is speculative at best... it's only been rumored, not confirmed. BotleySmith 18:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Damn, I suck. I should have actually looked. I am changing back to Delete. –King Bee ^{(τ • γ)} 20:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Interscope are now confirming it via email, so I'm going to have to say Keep. BotleySmith 15:25, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I've been following the Alternate Reality Game Reznor and 42 have made for all of his fans since the beginning, and I personally believe the Capital G will in fact be the second single. However, for the sake of accuracy and reporting, this article is very speculative and needs to be deleted (or kept in storage?) until it is affirmed by Reznor or the band's representatives, or the record label for that matter, none of which have happened yet... Take it away for now, because if it is a single later, the article will come and be accurate... Jgrizzy89 17:56, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Strong circumstantial evidence says that this will be the second single, but nothing verifiable yet. -- rynne 19:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Not verifiable. Can we please wait until there is an announcement?  Tabanger  19:26, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Though it is speculative, I think we should keep it unless we get info that it won't be a single. And it is a notable song without being a single. Goldenglove^{Contribs ·Talk} 15:59, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I agree with goldenglove plus if it does become a single there will be more info such as, chart positions, tracks on the single, etc. Doody 09 22:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. As per [1]. Although some language cleanup might be necessary, the article should stay. Drewcifer3000 23:09, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I agree with Drewcifer3000. Also, the sticker on the cover of the new album states '16 noisy new songs, including: Survivalism and Capital G'. So in the very unlikely case that the song will not be a single, there is still something special going on, and for that reason it deserves its own page. eboy 10:04, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It's pretty much confirmed as the next single (only a matter of time till it is "officially" announced), the page has been created and people have put effort into the article, no point in deleting. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ajplmr (talk • contribs) 11:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

• Keep As previously mentioned, Capital G is looking like it's going to be the second single. Promos are already appearing on eBay. The page is already set-up and ready to go - may as well keep it a bit longer until a definite confirmation comes about. Geologik 00:55, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep on the basis that the album cover would contain single names rather than individual songs Will ^{(I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!)} 01:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There is enough WP:RS material to write an attributable article on the topic. Thus, the topic does meet Wikipedia notability guidelines and the article can meet Wikipedia article policies. -- Jreferee 05:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment This page now no longer relevant - it has been officially confirmed by the record label via the mailing list that Capital G is Halo 25. Needs to be removed and wrapped up, and the details moved to discussion. Looks like the sticker was right all along. Slavedriver 16:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
