The result was Keep. A single that reached #22 in the US or UK charts would undoubtedly be kept at AFD: I see no reason why this one shouldn't (and per WP:CSB as well). Black Kite 10:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No references indicating this is notable. --DAJF (talk) 02:46, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or redirect to Miki Matsuhashi for being performed multiple times on a famous TV show. It was the theme song for Detective Conan, one of the most famous anime (based on manga) still running in Japan, for 28 episodes. The single also reached #22 on Oricon, according to some websites, which shouldn't be too hard to check, I think. The first fact was already in article (I've now included the second), and notability guidelines for music clearly recommend a merge/redirect rather than deletion in this case. --C S (talk) 05:43, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per the guidelines of WP:MUSIC to Miki Matsuhashi -- that it was a theme song and charted is part of the artist's notability, but unless and until someone comes up with something that will make this more than a permastub, it does not warrant a separate article. —Quasirandom (talk) 23:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Quasirandom. --Eustress (talk) 22:40, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:MUSIC#SONGS says "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts,"... " are probably notable". This song ranked on the Oricon chart, a national chart in Japan.--Fabrictramp (talk) 23:46, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
