We currently have Wikipedia pages for every one of the tracks on The Division Bell by Pink Floyd. Few of them appear to pass WP:NSONG, on a few counts:
- They don't seem to be the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works, per WP:NSONG.
- I see nothing that couldn't be covered in sufficient detail in the main article about the album The Division Bell; per NSONG:
Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album.
- They have poor sourcing (eg some fansites, YouTube videos).
So I'm nominating the following pages for deletion:
- Cluster One
- Poles Apart (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Wearing the Inside Out (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Coming Back to Life (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Frankly, the other pages aren't in great shape either, and may not pass WP:NSONGS any better, with one or two exceptions. Further opinions there are welcome. Popcornfud (talk) 00:10, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

- Keep all - I am not a particular Pink Floyd fan but I own 2 books that have entries on each of these songs (The Complete Guide to the Music of Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd: All the Songs). Given how many books there are on Pink Floyd music it would be surprising if there wasn't more, but what I own at least meets the minimal GNG bar of multiple sources outside of album reviews. While the articles in their existing state may not be extensive, that is not a AfD concern. Rlendog (talk) 21:35, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Checking Google Books, Pink Floyd: Song by Song also seems to have an entry for each of these songs, although given the limitations on the content I can't be certain about "Coming Back to Life." Rlendog (talk) 21:42, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Keep all. They meet WP:NSONG per Rlendog's argument. SBKSPP (talk) 01:00, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Merge all into their parent album's article. The content in each of those articles are barebones and do not show standalone notability. Neo-corelight (Talk) 00:55, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Notability is based on available sources, not the current state of the article. Rlendog (talk) 15:38, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Keep all - please keep all. When looked at as a whole they are supplying a quality source of information. It can't be mashed into the album page as these details track by track differences in personal and backgrounds to the songs. Wikipedia has a superb coverage for Pink Floyd data and it is clear people have gone to a lot of work to create this. There are sources and they do show as correct data. It would be a pity to delete these tracks beacuse a bot did not like them. Data like this adds to the quality that is Wikipedia data.
