Talk:Zerox

Proposed merge with Zerox Machine

same song, per WP:NSONGS Richhoncho (talk) 13:12, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm all for it.

Given the entire contents of that article were already in this one, it's clearly already happened, so I just made that a redirect here - David Gerard (talk) 16:06, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Zerox (song) → Zerox – No mentions of Zerox in the Superman article outside of the hatnote. Doesn’t appear to be a majorly notable comic character, while the song was a hit for multiple bands. Hatnote could be reversed, but not if DABNOMENTION applies. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 02:18, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Support. Nothing more than an obscure part of Superman mythos. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 02:16, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Don't forget to remove the hatnote from the Superman article and add one about the company & photocopier to the song article. As long as the Superman article doesn't mention Zerox, there's no need to mention that one. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:03, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose Nothing about this song strikes me as notable, should probably be merged to Dirk Wears White Sox. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:07, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

  Multiple recordings of it charted in the UK. How isn't it notable? QuietHere (talk | contributions) 01:08, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

  "Charting" is not sufficient to be notable. Per WP:NSONG, "Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." It only says that charting increases the probability a song is notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:40, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

  I guess I'm just so used to how much less restrictive the rest of NMUSIC is (especially NALBUM) that I forgot how tight that section in particular is. Frankly, I doubt that language would hold up to current consensus if tested. I have seen too many AfDs where the article gets kept on charting alone, and much weaker charting than this. In fact, I might actually bring that up at WT:SONG tomorrow if I remember (I will ping you if I do, assuming you'd want a piece of that conversation). And regardless, this still makes a far stronger case for notability than the Superman character, so it should still be PTOPIC at least until an AfD is brought against it.
