The result was closed. No longer the same article after CJPargeter (talk · contribs)'s rewrite; just needs watching to keep the hoax info from creeping back. ➨ ❝ЯEDVERS❞ is repressed but remarkably dressed 13:07, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Real Thing (Lisa Stansfield song)

An article by 5ivetv (talk · contribs) whose other articles are on AfD as hoaxes. This one was prodded, but the prod was removed by an IP, who also blind-undid every edit I've made to any article 5ivetv also edited. Hmmm. Anyway, a Google finds no sources other than speculation on a forum called "digitalspy". If anyone has other sources, please come forward, otherwise I say it's time to delete. ➨ ❝ЯEDVERS❞ is repressed but remarkably dressed 08:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rewrite. The song meets the notability criteria at WP:MUSIC#Songs for reaching #9 on the UK singles chart as a Lisa Stansfield song. I believe the article, if kept, should be rewritten with the focus on the original version, with the current info under a notable covers section. Or something like that.
