The song appears to be non-notable, I could not find any articles online or in print that discuss the song at length individually. Most media mentions seem to be in the context of the broader Disclaimer album and not the song itself. CJ-Moki (talk) 02:52, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - as the article notes, the song broke into the top ten of US rock radio in the early 2000s. Realistically spreading, it's rather unlikely that the sourcing doesn't exist out there somewhere, but due to the timeframe, it's likely locked away in print media. If the article is redirected anyways, it should be without prejudice of recreation if someone is able to dig up some of these sources. Sergecross73 msg me 16:05, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

~~Keep~~ The song hit number 8 on the chart, per [1]. I think that's a RS, we can use it as sourcing. And a reprint of the Modern Rock Chart in a period newspaper [2], bottom left side, about 3/4 of the way down. Oaktree b (talk) 14:42, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's listed in several newspapers [3]. Oaktree b (talk) 14:46, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b: As I understand it, these mentions in chart reprints and listings in newspapers count as trivial coverage per WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM. CJ-Moki (talk) 17:54, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I know, but having a charted single is one criteria for NMUSIC. We still have to flesh out the rest of the article. Oaktree b (talk) 18:00, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b: Assuming you're referring to NALBUM criterion 2, The recording has appeared on any country's national music chart, as far as I'm aware, "Gasoline" did not appear on any national music chart, such as the Billboard Hot 100. Please correct me if Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and Hot Modern Rock Tracks count as national charts. CJ-Moki (talk) 18:04, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per [4], "may be notable", not that it makes it notable automatically. I suppose you're correct. I'm not opposed to a redirect to the album. I'll amend my !vote above. Oaktree b (talk) 18:30, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the album as suggested seems the best choice. I can't find anything discussing the song, only proof that it charted at one point. Oaktree b (talk) 18:31, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
DeletePer nominator. Not notable song. DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 22:54, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
