Although this song seems notable (?), sources aside from ones on the chart table are not reliable sources. The article also lacks references, too. My choice would be to redirect to Stephen Sanchez, but I was told to put this in AfD, so here we go. Spinixster (talk) 09:22, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: Charting in as many countries as it did and even passing year-end charts in some of them already makes it eligible to have an article. The song is also still reaching new daily streaming highs as we speak. In addition, there are multiple sources from reputable publications that are yet to be added to the article, including: 1, 2, 3, 4. If anything, the article is looking to be expanded beyond its current state in accordance with WP:NSONGS. Redirecting it would be a misstep. Decent pageviews speak for its notability too.

Keep: as Lk95 just said, the charting is so significant across so much of the world that I would've never thought to bring this to AfD. Though the nominator is correct that the other sourcing on page is no good (especially that ever-pernicious uDiscoverMusic), the sources Lk linked should make for good replacements. And while I'm here, I went and found an article about that Ginny & Georgia appearance which I will add right now. QuietHere (talk) 11:52, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. Baffling nomination. The chart sources alone prove this song's notability. Ss112 13:19, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's charted in the top 20 in about half of the charts listed, notability is established by that alone. Rest is gravy upon gravy. Oaktree b (talk) 16:53, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:NSONG with sources presented by LK. They're reliable and in-depth enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 01:35, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Significant coverage satisfies notability. Belichickoverbrady (talk) 01:55, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep: One of the dumbest AfD nominations I have ever seen. The song has charted in 20+ countries and is still climbing up the charts in the US. It easily meets WP:NSONG. 139.190.236.109 (talk) 13:37, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Song is charting high internationally, whether it's from the original or the remix, WP:NSONG is easily met, rest could just be added or improved on... Toyota Impreza (talk) 15:50, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I would like to push back against the "baffling" and "dumbest" comments above. While yes, the charting does make this an easy pass, the sourcing was absolutely abysmal prior to this discussion. I don't think it's unreasonable to at least call this too soon if the non-charts coverage isn't there yet. Of course it was, but that doesn't invalidate the initial claim. Besides, those same awful sources are still in the article now, and none of the better ones Lk listed above have been added yet. QuietHere (talk) 17:01, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

...but note that WP:BEFORE says that a concerned editor should tackle those exact same problems before or instead of resorting to an AfD. See also WP:NOTCLEANUP. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:03, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Snow Keep. Obvious keep, a patent passing of WP:NSONG giving the significant charting. VickKiang (talk) 23:21, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
