Shorty (song)

Song with questionable notability. Ani Mate 22:07, 6 June 2008 (UTC) Ani Mate 22:07, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Get Up Kids. The band seems notable enough, but the song doesn't appear to have charted, and was self-released. Corvus cornix_talk 22:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The song was the band's first release, and is one of the most re-released and well known songs by the band. It's release played a pivotal role in getting them signed to Doghouse Records, and convinced Ed Rose to produce Woodson, their first release. (Information which, in hindsight, should be put into the article. I will add that now.) Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 23:07, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Get Up Kids. Not enough information or sources for its own article. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 23:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've updated the page with the history of the record, as well as a reference. I'll add more as I find them, but that was the most substantial information I had at my immediate disposal. Also, should a song have to be charted to be notable? Much of the band's notability stems from this release, so that in itself should make it notable.

Conditional Keep If sources are found to support the article's assertion that this song is responsible for the band being discovered. faithless (^speak) 00:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It is the first single from a notable band, it was produced by a noteable producer, and it was released on a notable label (Doghouse, and later Vagrant).Natt the Hatt (talk) 06:11, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
