Hold Tight (Justin Bieber song)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article seems to be getting by entirely on inherited notability. There's no evidence of it meeting WP:NSONG. While it has been ranked on national charts, NSONG says songs still need to be "the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label" (i.e., WP:GNG). I found coverage of the song in the right sort of sources, but not of the type that I would call "non-trivial." Most of these amounted to announcements of the release of the song with the music video embedded.

Redirecting to Justin Bieber discography would be fine. --BDD (talk) 19:51, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I think that in this case redirect would be best. --Jeffrd10 (talk) 22:11, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are plenty of reliable sources covering the song. On top of that, it charted on several national charts. That's more than enough for the song to pass WP:NSONG. — Status (talk · contribs) 00:28, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's pretty light coverage. Those were the sort of sources I was referring to that "amounted to announcements of the release... with the music video embedded." --BDD (talk) 17:18, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The first time I read the article, I was about to AFD it, but then I realized that there were plenty of sources about it, and that it just needed an expansion. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 00:53, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep This single was top of the charts in Denmark. See http://www.danishcharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Justin+Bieber&titel=Hold+Tight&cat=s It was a hit in a multiple of charts including UK and USA Billboard. werldwayd (talk) 22:14, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NSONG, that means it may be notable, but it still has to pass GNG. --BDD (talk) 23:28, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the "Composition" section shows many notable outlets discussing and critiquing the song including the Los Angeles Times for one. Here ae some more independent \, reliable and non-promotional sources to add: One from Billboard no less: Justin Bieber's Stuck In Love on 'Hold Tight' Track. Here one from the Toronto Star Justin Bieber's new song ‘Hold Tight’ is probably about something naughty There is also a regional issue of the Guardian newspaper no less talking at length about his specific release: Justin Bieber New Release is Hold Tight Like His Grip on Strippers Assets So quite a coverage over and above what we had on the page werldwayd (talk) 12:46, 15 December 2013 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 12:53, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Charted in several countries. YuckieDuck (talk) 23:18, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
