Non-notable compilation/EP released only in Germany. Zero coverage in any reliable sources. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 17:11, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Absolutely no notability. Ajf773 (talk) 10:25, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to "Standing in the Rain". According to the Australian Charts Portal, here, the three-track EP version of the single was issued in 1988, it has a catalogue number ZYX 8-5630 and the same album cover seen in the infobox of this article. "Standing in the Rain" charted in Australia (No. 12) as well as Austria (No. 11), Belgium (No. 2), Germany (No. 4), and Netherlands (No. 3). There is no problem of notability there.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 12:00, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- This is part of series released 10 years after that song was a hit. The song may be notable, this release is not. Notability is not inherited. It would be like creating article for every budget-priced hits album simply because it contains well known songs. There is zero coverage on this EP. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 17:23, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's why I'm arguing for a redirect. As this EP appeared 10 years later, I see it as an alternative release version of that single. Any useful content here can be transcluded to that article to leave behind a redirect.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:51, 17 February 2017 (UTC)21:57, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - But there is no useful content. It was common practice to re-package singles year later under a brand (in this case Golden Dance Floor Hits, which Discogs lists at least 21 of these) containing two hit songs by an artist or one hit song by two different artists. These type of releases don't even deserve a redirect. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 16:46, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      - I dispute your contention that there was "no useful content", the fact that this EP had two extended versions of "Standing in the Rain" (one of which is an instrumental) does add useful information for the single's article. In fact, I've already moved this content to said article. A redirect helps non-expert readers of WP find out more about the single and its EP version. Your comments about discogs having another 21 versions of Golden Dance Floor Hits are not germane.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 04:33, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        It actually adds zero useful information for the song's article to list a re-release of no consequence limited to a single country some ten years after the song's initial release and which received zero coverage in any reliable sources. Simply being released doesn't make something worthy of inclusion in a song's article. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 16:47, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
