Every Day (Sick Puppies Song)[edit]

No indication of meeting WP:NSONGS guidelines. noq (talk) 13:16, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It definitely meets WP:NSONGS guidelines as the song was very popular on Australia's biggest indie radio station, Triple J, produced a music video and even helped the band win the prestigious annual Triple J Unearthed band competition in 2001, therefore making the single notable (not to mention there's an exclusive track on the single). Not only is it notable, there is new content in the article. There is also no use of personal knowledge in the article whatsoever.

How does it meet WP:NSONGS? I am seeing nothing to back up your claims above - which do not appear in the article either. I am finding nothing to show Triple J Unearthed is "prestigious", there seems very little about it on google - especially considering it is supposed to be an on-line competition now. Having a video made does not make it notable. noq (talk) 13:20, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment You're not finding much about it on Google? Did you check Wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unearthed_(talent_contest). In the article you can see that Sick Puppies won it, so I don't see how that claim is not backed up. I will admit that a music video does not make a song notable, bad point by me. I have not yet updated the article to include the competition, but I was finding reliable sources and planning to add it in before this was filed for deletion. The contest has been going for 17 years counting in one form or another, is run by Australia's biggest indie/alternative radio station, the winners always receive fair media coverage and only in 2006 did it change to an online competition, so for an Australian music competition, it's prestigious no-doubt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Splasher9 (talk • contribs) 15:11, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wikipedia is not a reliable source - you cannot use another article to establish notability for this article. Besides, that article does not have a reference to the group winning it or this song in particular being instrumental in that. noq (talk) 15:55, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:NSONGS, notability is not inherited from the band or the radio station. The two references are a blog and a link through to a place to buy... --Richhoncho (talk) 18:29, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/unearthed/past/ That site confirms that Sick Puppies won the competition, and also, only 2 songs had been made from the trio at the time of their win (not including tracks off of their extremely rare first EP): Nothing Really Matters and Every Day. So it's obvious that Every Day played a major role in Sick Puppies Unearthed win. I am not saying that the song is notable because of the radio station, rather the popular competition that the station held. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Splasher9 (talk • contribs) 11:42, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment That makes no mention of the song at all. You are surmising that it played a major role. Having no idea how the competition is judged or was at the time I cannot make that conclusion. And again, I have seen nothing to suggest the competition itself is prestigious. noq (talk) 12:25, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I couldn't find any reliable sources that cover this song in detail, and it doesn't seem useful as a redirect. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 04:00, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
