Delete. One line about a song, a couple of quotes from it, and the link? Why is it notable as a song? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:55, 20 December 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep. Hi. I created this article. The song is at least as notable as some of HBO's previous musical duo Tenacious D's songs: Kickapoo (song), Classico, History (Tenacious D song), The Metal (which in my opinion is their worst song ever), or POD (song). Why are those pages not being marked for deletion? The only reason I can think of is because Tenacious D has been around longer. The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room is the first song in the first episode of the first season of Flight of the Conchords which is funny and clever, and the song is hilarious, as are the vast majority of their other songs, although this is just one person's opinion. However, I urge you to try to see the artistic merit this song has (because notability is distinct from "fame", "importance", or "popularity"). This article is not self-promotion. Although the show itself is about struggling artist trying to find exposure in a music industry that survives on pop record sales to brainwashed MTV fans, this song is a poignant look at life and love in New York City. The song also introduces Sally, who becomes a main character later in the show as can be seen from the episode Sally Returns. Finally, even if it is found that this article is not notable, it should not be deleted but should redirect to an article that mentions it such as, Flight of the Conchords (TV series), Sally (Flight of the Conchords) (which uses a picture of the show during the song), or The Distant Future which has been nominated this year for best comedy album.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 20:11, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I do apologize if I sound at all perjorative, but it might be best to refer you to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, as well as WP:ILIKEIT. The article itself, last I looked, was a single line about a song - and a song is not unto itself notable. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:16, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You don't sound especially perjorative, although I take it you mean to sound that way. I think you are confusing the notability of the article itself which is short (a stub) because it was just started, instead of looking at the content to which the article refers, a popular song that gets 22,000 Google hits on a Grammy nominated album. I'm not going to get personal, but maybe you should actually listen to the song before you decide it's not notable. I think this page deserves a chance to develop, and by the way, there are plenty of songs that unto themselves are extremely notable.
Delete. I'm a long-time FoTC fan, but this song (which I like a lot) isn't notable enough for an article. -- Avenue (talk) 11:34, 23 December 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
