Stay (SafetySuit song)[edit]

No charts, no covers, not enough information to bring beyond stub level. Fails WP:NSONGS. Efforts to redirect to artist have been thwarted. —Kww(talk) 15:13, 24 July 2009 (UTC) Extreme change of heart by nominator: Something must have gone wrong with Billboard during their big site changeover, because I would swear I found nothing on these songs. Per allmusic.com, an extremely reliable source, both songs have achieved respectable chart positions. The articles are pretty bad, but they pass WP:NSONGS.—Kww(talk) 03:32, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to SafetySuit, there isn't enough here to make a worthwhile stub. - 2 ... says you, says me 15:48, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as an unlikely redirect term, fails notability per WP:MUSIC#Songs. No awards, ~~no chart~~, no covers, no WP:RS. Esradekan Gibb ^"Klat" 12:39, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Both songs did chart.[1]. Rlendog (talk) 20:24, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - On reviewing the chart histories, my vote still stands. As per WP:MUSIC#Songs, "Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article". Both are effectively one sentence long, and neither is likely to grow beyond a stub, and the titles are an unlikely redirect term. A referenced mention in the album page is more appropriate, not a stand alone article. Esradekan Gibb ^"Klat" 02:15, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As noted in the nominator's change of heart, both these songs did chart and thus do meet WP:NSONGS.[2] Billboard may be having a problem with its newly redesigned site right now. Rlendog (talk) 20:23, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Both articles certainly could use improvement though, but that is not a reason to delete. Rlendog (talk) 20:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep Both songs do meet WP:NSONGS as they charted, and a Google News search brings up some interesting articles on the songs. I'm going to go ahead and add some more content to these articles once they're off AfD. talking birds 14:00, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
