Roll Wit It[edit]

Another "Marc Mysterio" song. Charts listed either aren't sourceable or aren't notable:I can't find a single decent link showing that "futuremusiccharts.nl" is a notable chart site. Fails WP:NSONGS, but efforts to redirect the article have been thwarted. —Kww(talk) 02:52, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closing admin: Due to an error on my part, the notice wasn't linked to until June 4. You may consider extending the period until June 11, if necessary.—Kww(talk) 17:06, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

keep - FMC CHART IS NOTABLE... Secondly, The Canadian National Dance Chart compiled by ZIP DJ is the only national dance chart and official for Canada. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.53.228 (talk) 00:02, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just as on the other article, I'll request evidence. Who considers the FMC charts to be notable? What evidence do you have that they are? Who considers "ZIP DJ" to be an official Canadian chart?—Kww(talk) 00:53, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide a few links: somebody outside of zipdj.com that points to ZipDJ as being a notable source of information and rankings. A Google search for sites that link to zipdj.com yields one link, not a very impressive list. Searching for ZipDJ as text yields blogs, message boards, and the like, but precious little in the way of reliable sourcing.—Kww(talk) 04:03, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A specific discussion about ZipDJ has been started at WT:Record charts#ZipDJ.—Kww(talk) 10:46, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, let me point out a second reason this song article should be kept (in addition to the 3 chartings in Canada, Netherlands & Ukraine).

Under wiki project songs:

Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable.

What I note is that "ROLL WIT IT" has been played by all the largest djs in the world on their radio shows as well, including:

Judge Jules (BBC R1), Roger Sanchez, Stonebridge, Martin Solveig, Bad Boy Bill, just to name a few. That plus the chartings...

I can provide source links if necessary, however, it fits the bill that "Roll Wit It" has been "performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups" AND is therefore notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.180.85.29 (talk) 23:46, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Playing the song is not the same as covering the song.—Kww(talk) 05:28, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per same reasons stated above by Kww and TPH. - eo (talk) 14:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WIKI TERMS STATE 'PERFORM' AS IN PERFORM LIVE... NOT COVER...

I am surprised no one has responded to the ZIP DJ comments above:

I did respond, and asked for sources. None were provided.—Kww(talk) 21:21, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... It appears that post came from kevin unger, the compiler of the chart of the zip dj chart..

dug a lil deeped...

We all know Deep Dish -- right???

Deep Dish notes that "Say Hello" went to #1 on the Canadian National Club Chart here on their own web site:

http://www.deepdish.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=document.home&sectionId=17&id=95

this site references Kevin Unger (of Zip DJ) as the compiler of the Canadian Chart http://www.tobydabrit.com/music/ncc.html

and then has the same kevin unger/zip dj chart as listed by deep dish on their site:

http://www.tobydabrit.com/music/ncc/2005/110105.html

Hence, you have your answer. Zip DJ is a respected chart in the industry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.157.130.104 (talk) 18:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I do have my answer: there are no reliable sources referring to ZipDJ. You really need to review WP:RS to understand what people are asking for when we ask you for sources.—Kww(talk) 19:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I didn't write this article and don't care anymore at this point... None of you are in the music business and simply want to cause drama..

Its the fucking chart, as was the Ukrainian Chart... You are not in the business and therefore have no right to offer commentary on what's legit and what is not.

good luck

Delete no evidence futuremusiccharts.nl is a real national music chart. Zipdj charts appear to be about distribution of promotional material and not about sales. No other indication of notability. Duffbeerforme (talk) 13:40, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
