Breakaway (Tinchy Stryder song) – Overturned as should have been done sooner. The content of the new article is markedly different from the AfD'ed article, and as such is not eligible for G4. Any editor may AfD the article, of course – Jclemens (talk) 06:31, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.

The discussion for this article was closed on 25 November 2009 by Jayjg (talk) and re-deleted by Jayjg on 23 October 2011, with the decision that may not have reflected the significant new information that has come to light since the deletion. There were four delete and one redirect on 25 November 2009. Beside it being deleted on 25 November 2009 by Jayjg. I would like to know the reason for the deletion of Tinchy Stryder's song "Breakaway (Tinchy Stryder song)", by Jayjg once again on 23 October 2011, after 4 years and 7 months of the song being released as the first official single from Tinchy Stryder's debut studio album Star in the Hood on 9 April 2007?. I have left Jayjg a message on their user talk page, but I have yet to receive a reply to the explanation of the article being re-deleted. The reason given for deletion on 25 November 2009 by Jayjg was that the song lacked notability to Tinchy Stryder. But here in 2011, I have collected this Twitter status from Tinchy Stryder from 18 October 2011, clearly confirming that the "Breakaway (Tinchy Stryder song)" is a notable song to Tinchy Stryder after 4 years and 7 months. Here is the Twitter status of the song confirmation, just click on this link ----> http://twitter.com/#!/TinchyStryder/status/126257795321430016, so what I'm trying to get at is that if Wikipedia administrators such as Jayjg are deleting articles or not including songs that a notable artist clearly states as one of their notable songs especially one that is the first single from their debut studio albums, then what good does it do to the artist work throughout their music career and for people using Wikipedia as a verifiable and correct information website or encyclopedia on peoples. I find it amusing that the website http://www.grimepedia.co.uk/wiki/Breakaway and http://www.grimepedia.co.uk/wiki/Star_In_The_Hood gets the information about Tinchy Stryder and his 2007 single "Breakaway (Tinchy Stryder song)" and 2007 debut studio album Star in the Hood more accurate than that of Wikipedia. I would possibly go as far as to say perhaps people should visit that website for a verifiable biography of Tinchy Stryder. Please if you can possibly now un-delete the "Breakaway (Tinchy Stryder)" Wikipedia article that I have recently re-created for this reason I have stated above. Thank you.

The reason Jayg redeleted the article was given in the deletion log: "Recreation of a page that was deleted via a deletion discussion." With regards to the notability of the song, that is determined according to our guideline. Whether the artist twittered about the song is irrelevant and does not show notability in any way. As I see no evidence that this song has become notable since 2009 I am gonna Endorse the original deletion and Jayg's redeletion. Also, ROFL at this being a "verifiable biography".

That title should be a redirect to Tinchy Stryder discography#As lead artist, or alternatively, to Star in the Hood (album). It should not be a separate article, but it should also not be a redlink.—S Marshall T/C 23:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
