Not Notable. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 05:23, 29 March 2015 (UTC) *Delete-Not sure why the prod got removed for this, but not notable. Wgolf (talk) 16:28, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the edit history you will see it was removed when the article was recommended for deletion which is just as well since I was going to remove it today anyway.--Ergincompnalin (talk) 06:00, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

well this might of been the best also given the fact if you look at the back long of expired deletions-dang. Wgolf (talk) 18:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Unless the criteria of WP:BAND was changed, the subject most definitely meets notability guidelines. Has a single on a national music chart which meets WP:CHART (published by Billboard).[1] If I am missing something, please let me know. I'll add the reference to the article for others as well.--Ergincompnalin (talk) 06:00, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per Ergincompnalin, and multiple notable sources writting about the new single, including Rolling Stone, Consequence of Sound, Fuse.tv, Pitchfork, Stereogum. — Mayast (talk) 12:44, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I don't think this is anywhere near as clear cut as some have suggested. One of the criteria of WP:NMUSIC is "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart". In the US that would be the Hot 100, which the subject has not appeared on. High placings on specialist charts may indicate notability, but no. 49 on a genre-specific airplay chart is not sufficient on its own to demonstrate notability. So it comes down to coverage, and when you look at the genuinely reliable sources, there isn't much there, mainly brief mentions in articles that focus on Janelle Monáe. --Michig (talk) 06:59, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
