- SingSong (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Despite good faith Google searches ("SingSong"; "SingSong karaoke", and "SingSing karaoke review"), I was unable to identify any significant coverage or reviews in reliable independent sources. Given that this is software that was published in 2008, the Internet is a suitable place to seek to find references of notability.
The only third-party references identified are in catalogs of products available for various platforms lacking any editorial comment.
If this product subsequently becomes notable, it will be ripe for inclusion at such time, but WIkipedia is not a crystal ball. Bongomatic 00:41, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- delete, did a search through the first few google hits and the best source I could find it this: http://www.linuxgames.com/archives/11085 Hmmm... even that is no good really, so delete. Mathmo Talk 04:27, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete--per above, and of course the fact that the article is really just an ad. Drmies (talk) 05:12, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- More third party coverage of the game: http://baixaki.ig.com.br/linux/singsong.htm Note the text is not a translation of the SingSong website, but someone's own, new text. http://www.linuxgamingworld.com/index.php?q=node/340 I realize this may not be enough to include in Wikipedia, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball makes sense. Would it be possible to undelete if the product becomes notable in the future? How? Also, for my own education, please cite the portions of the article that are written like an advertisement.

- I don't think that the two links you provided quite qualify for WP:Reliable sources. However, there's certainly no prejudice against recreation in future. I don't understand the addition of the {{advert}} tag either - the article reads about as neutrally as they come. Marasmusine (talk) 17:52, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. I think I understand why WP:Reliable sources are needed. This is only my second article, but I'm learning! I've saved off the text in case the game becomes notable enough in the future, since I'm not sure how/if it can be undeleted. I don't see how to delete the article, I guess I leave that to you guys? Also I was wondering why clicking "this article's entry" from the SingSong page takes me to the *edit* portion of the "Articles for deletion" page. I had to remove "&action=edit" from the URL in my browser so I could more easily read comments here. I was thinking if this link comes from a template, maybe the template is incorrect and needs fixing? N4te (talk) 22:22, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
