A single chart position does not make a song notable per WP:NMUSIC. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 16:09, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - nowhere does it say in NMUSIC that it must have multiple charts (although I will admit the wording is very woolly and can be interpreted either way) - however, for me, it fails another criteria of WP:NSONG: Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album. I do not see how there is enough verifiable material, from a quick Google search, for this to justify an article. Lukeno94 (talk) 16:19, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And then protect the article as it has twice been reverted from being a redirect, both times by IP-based users. Lukeno94 (talk) 16:23, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Lukeno94. A separate article is simply not needed, and it's covered at the Pink Friday article. --Michig (talk) 18:54, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - Agreed. Usually, a chart position will suggest notability but I'm reluctant with this one. Google News archives found one minor mention here and speculation Britney Spears was going to be featured on the song here and confirmation that she was not here. Aside from this, I'm seeing much to improve the article. SwisterTwister talk 06:32, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Bonus track on deluxe edition of PF:RR but not the re-release (The Re-Up). Not notable at all. —Andrew_stalk 06:09, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and Temp Protect per above PianoDan (talk) 23:16, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Based upon WP:NSONG the article does not have enough material to warrant a standalone article. I think we should wait and see if the IP's continue to stop the redirect now that its been taken to an AfD and (seeming) consensus reached. Mkdw ^talk 23:13, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
