• SO? It is not only the first song on their first album, but also their first ever release in general (as a demo tape single/ep). It has more sources than songs like Sweating Bullets and The Conjuring, yet those still get pages. BoxxyBoy ( talk) 15:15, 9 September 2022 (UTC) reply

• Redirect to Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!. This is a weird article that is trying to do two things at once. The first half of the article is about the song "Last Rites/Loved to Death", which is not notable outside its album. The song has been mentioned in a few books and magazines as one of the first-ever Megadeth songs, but that is not significant enough to get the song its own article here. Meanwhile, the second half of this article is about a completely different item, Megadeth's 1984 demo tape, which happens to include the song from the top half of the article. The demo tape is also not notable in its own right, both because all of its songs later appeared on the band's first real album, and the fact that the band had a demo tape is a historical tidbit that is already mentioned at their main article. In closing (finally), this AfD is about an article that is titled after a song, so the namespace should be redirected to the parent album in case anyone searches for it. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 14:28, 10 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Redirect per nom and Doomsdayer. I'd also like to specifically note for @ BoxxyBoy that the number of references doesn't matter, rather we're looking at the quality of those sources. In this case, " Sweating Bullets" would likely clear notability for its significant charting and could be expanded with quotes already present in the Countdown to Extinction album article. " The Conjuring", however, might not clear notability so thanks for pointing that one out. QuietHere ( talk) 21:58, 10 September 2022 (UTC) reply
