No proof that this really was a single (instead of an album track). No proof that it ever charted anywhere. As sources given are about the album or the remixes. The Banner talk 12:45, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect (or merge) to the parent album, Higher Than the Eiffel, as a plausible search term (single by a notable band). Though the song charted, coverage for it in reliable sources is rather thin (and consists solely of brief/trivial mentions) and can be easily incorporated into the album article. There's probably more potential for a standalone article on their earlier hit, "We Don't Care", as I found a couple reviews of that single.

Keep (or at a minimum, merge with Higher Than the Eiffel) - I have recently expanded the article, adding references showing that "Only Man" won the 2010 UK Music Video Awards for "Best Visual Effects" in a Video in association with BEAM and that the song peaked at No.44 on the UK Singles Chart. I have also added a track listing, indicated where versions of the song have been used and transcluded a review from Lizz Paige of Future Radio. For seven days, I listed a section about this article for splitting off, and I did not get any response. Since I added this myself, I split it off into an article. If we were to merge it, it would be one long article. --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:02, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I have notified several individuals who have taken part in writing Audio Bullys. --Jax 0677 (talk) 03:09, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article contains song-specific commentary, information about the award-winning video, and detailed discographic info. All of this content would fit awkwardly at best into the album article. I really don't know why this was nominated for deletion. InnocuousPseudonym (talk) 04:30, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You should check the version of the article that I nominated. That version gave no mention or proof that it made the charts. That version, and the emergency edits Jax made later, are typical for the rather sloppy way he writes the articles. he often writes "place fillers" to protect his, just as sloppy written, templates instead of articles.

Keep The article includes a number of reliable sources. It is about a single that has gained notability including presence on the official UK Singles Chart, and has connections to winning a significant award for its music video. The recent expansion, which has included more decent sources, easily tips the balance for this to be retained. Also, there is no question about the recording ensemble's own notability. A merge, in my view, would leave the 'host' article top heavy, and to have imbalance. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 09:46, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the evidence is there that the single barely made the charts (2 weeks, highest place 44) I request speedy closure as keep, as nominator. The Banner talk 10:29, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
