Delete as either a non notable song~~, or a hoax.~~ -- Asartea ^Talk ^| ^Contribs 12:19, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- User:Asartea, it is real, just a demo, though. https://bowiesongs.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/rupert-the-riley/ wizzito | say hello! 12:25, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Wizzito:, thanks for finding that, amended -- Asartea ^Talk ^| ^Contribs 12:31, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Zero in-depth coverage, passes neither WP:GNG or WP:NSONG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:31, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The song might serve as geek trivia for Bowieheads, but as an unreleased demo with no reliable notice it does not qualify for an article here. (Someone please send the article's creator a tutorial on how to capitalize words.) ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:38, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge useful content into David Bowie, and Delete the rest. Demos are not automatically notable, and there's no evidence to support that claim that this one is. RomanSpa (talk) 10:20, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Selective Merge to David Bowie. Fails WP:NSONG per Doomsdayer's argument. SBKSPP (talk) 03:32, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per doomsdayer520. Oppose merge as this is trivial non-encyclopedic WP:Fancruft, and not seeing any value to a redirect.4meter4 (talk) 02:41, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
