Contested prod, but I don't think being played on Radio Disney and having a video makes this song particularly notable. It fails every aspect of WP:NSONGS. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 14:22, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the band sounds awful for sure, but we do keep singles from notable bands, which they (unfortunately) are. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:44, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability isn't inherited. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 14:55, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is not the guidance given by WP:NSONG. Your (Stablind) rationale seems to apply to albums, but not individual songs. RichardOSmith (talk)

Delete. Fails to establish notability per the guideline at WP:NSONG. RichardOSmith (talk) 19:04, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable as per WP:NSONG. "Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." - SudoGhost (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:42, 22 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. Whatever was in that article could be summarized into one line on the band article itself. - Mailer Diablo 20:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
