Like a Surgeon (Ciara song) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

no evidence or references to support the single's release. it also contains an image which breaches wikipedia's rules as it is not tagged or copyrighted properly. Lil-unique1 (talk) 16:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Non charting single, will likely be undone if redirected. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Many otters • One hammer • HELP)} 16:44, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, on account of WP:MUSIC. Not even released, so it can't yet chart, right? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 17:39, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Change to Redirect to Ciara. Keeps the history, so if it charts, it's easy enough to recover. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 13:39, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep for now It actually looks like she will release this song. A bloke called Andrew^Convos_{My Messies} 18:19, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• So? Why keep it if all we can do is look into a crystal ball and say "it actually looks like it'll be a single"? Why not wait until it actually, you know, is one? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Many otters • One hammer • HELP)} 20:14, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Well, you could say the same about A Dustland Fairytale by The Killers, but that still has a page. A bloke called Andrew^Convos_{My Messies} 06:21, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I know everything is agaisnt it right now, but it is being released in a few weeks and sooner digitally along with 'Work'. Sort of like the two songs at a time approach that Beyonce has taken. It will just be recreated in two weeks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raintheone (talk • contribs)
  • That's fantastic and all, but remember, we can recreate a deleted item if necessary. Note, too, that if it's recreated in two weeks and not notable, it will probably be speedy deleted. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 03:35, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Fails WP:MUSIC for now. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:50, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect as per TrEeMaNsHoE below. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:12, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - unreleased, nothing to suggest why we should ignore WP:MUSIC. Seriously, how hard is it to wait until a single is released before creating its article? There's no deadline. Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 18:25, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Ciara "herself" posted on her twitter that she would be simultaneously releasing two singles. One being "Work", and the other being "Like a Surgeon". I feel that even though there is no physical evidence "on paper" yet, there isn't a much better source than it coming from the actual artist's mouth in the meantime. Why not leave the page up and just wait it out?? She made a statement also about seeing the director for this video recently, so this has to mean that a next single decision has to be SOMEWHERE in the near future. (User:Ldt88 07)

• Delete, WP states that personal websites such as Twitter, Facebook and Myspace are not suitable sources. This article fails to cite any references and is terribly laid out. (Lil-unique1 (talk) 20:42, 14 May 2009 (UTC))[reply]
• Do you have other releases as to this? If so, I can change my mind. What Lil-unique said about the sources. If not, it's like I said, we can recreate the article later if it warrants it. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 21:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This is going to be released. Pages aren't started after a single charts. They are started earlier to give an overview. Her other single Love Sex Magic started out the same At least if you don't keep it, redirect it, so when it becomes a single, we wont have to start a whole nother page.

• • You know, I like your idea. Good compromise, makes it easier. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 13:38, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
