Smoothie Song[edit]

Despite what this article says, Billboard does not have a Triple A chart. This song may have charted on a third-party Triple A chart, but we generally don't accept third-party charts. The only source in this article is a forum post, which is not a reliable source at all. Although it was nominated for a Grammy award, that doesn't inherently make it notable enough for its own article, especially given that there are no sources to be found.

Delete. While it was nominated for a Grammy [1], once you remove all the unsourced filler in the article, you're only left with an infobox, and 1 sentence; "its a song by Nickel Creek, and it was nominated for a Grammy." That can easily be a mention on the This Side page, but not enough for a stand alone article. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 21:22, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the album This Side. The song may not establish standalone notability but information such as a grammy nomination raise it above the run-of-the-mill single and should belong somewhere, and that somehwere in this case is the album. Note that there is some minor coverage about the song such as this article which identifies it as a hit on "adult album alternative" stations across the US. This is sourcing is enough to establish that the material should be merged as a significant track from the album. -- Whpq (talk) 19:49, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Grammy nomination generates real-world coverage, even though sometimes hard to find. Nominations for many less significant awards seen as conferring notability. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 23:42, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If there are sources, then add them. Even then, I don't see anything else than a merge. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 00:06, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
