Non-notable song by itself. Merge to artist's article instead failing WP:GNG. Jay Σεβαστόςdiscuss 11:15, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It charted. Meets the notability guideline. Happily ever after. I Help, When I Can. [12] 00:21, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Major hit single. Clearly notable. --Michig (talk) 08:45, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete & Redirect I'm pretty sure that #5 on a national chart doesn't make a song notable without some sort of award or recognition, but in any case there is not enough here to make an article so it fails the second part of WP:NSONGS - this is just (and is likely to only ever be) a track listing and some facts about crew that are equally applicable to the album Bob House 884 (talk) 14:46, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'd add that I disagree with Night Gyr and imo its totally acceptable to bring this here, nom wants the article's content deleted and redirecting is obviously the appropriate step after that. Bob House 884 (talk) 14:46, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is no requirement for a song/single to have received an award to be notable. If it's been written about it's notable, and I've found reviews of this from rockfeedback, The Sun, The Daily Mirror, and the Sunday Mail, and further coverage from The Telegraph.--Michig (talk) 15:44, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
To reitarate, I favour deletion because there is not enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article per WP:NSONGS. For comparison, the current #5 single's article looks like this - it has multiple, well sourced and verifiable sections on different significant areas of the subject, it has achieved this in around 2 months. The AfD concerns a single which may be as notable, but which has never become more than a stub despite existing for over 4 years. I don't think its unreasonable to suggest that this article will never grow beyond a stub and therefore should be a redirect to the main article. A rescue may be a possibility, but in it's current state this is a slam dunk delete. Bob House 884 (talk) 16:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
