WP:TOOSOON article about a song (from an as yet unreleased album) that leaked online two days ago, but has not yet been released as a real single for the purposes of clearing WP:NSONGS. Three of the five footnotes here are a Reddit discussion thread and its lyrics on an online lyrics database, which are not reliable or notability-supporting sources -- and while the other two are real media, they're just covering the initial leak itself with no analysis of its potential long-term importance, and thus make this the musical equivalent of a BLP1E. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when there's more to say about it than just the fact that it exists -- but it has no strong claim to passing NSONGS yet, and not enough quality sources to get it over WP:GNG.

Delete. Besides being not notable for any reason, the title is also not even wrong - if I were gay is proper English. This can only be a parody of rap music or something akin to spam, or at best, a creative project not ready for an article. No prejudice if it actually gets coverage in the media for any reason. (My students forced me to listen to that rap, so I know something about it, now get off my lawn.) Bearian (talk) 19:51, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
