-- Hello Kitty (Avril Lavigne song)Hello Kitty (song) – Only notable song titled "Hello Kitty" with an article on Wikipedia. – –Chase (talk / contribs) 23:50, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:11, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hum and Critters Buggin's songs are not notable enough for articles, nor does there appear to be any other notable song titled "Hello Kitty" with an article on Wikipedia. Lavigne's song is notable, however, due to a wave of third party coverage earlier this year, and it is currently the only "Hello Kitty" song with a Wiki article. It makes no sense for there to only be one "Hello Kitty (song)" article on Wikipedia, yet its title has additional disambiguation. –Chase (talk / contribs) 15:45, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • And again, I would like to ask how there would be any confusion with the "Hello Kitty" brand when Hello Kitty is about the character? As to whether adding "(song)" to that implies association with the Hello Kitty brand, what about Tom Ford (song) - just one of many examples of this? –Chase (talk / contribs) 15:58, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Avril Lavigne song meets WP:NSONGS due to its presence on at least three national charts and, more importantly, its coverage in third-party sources. The other songs presumably have not charted or received significant coverage, which is why they do not have articles and are presumed non-notable. –Chase (talk / contribs) 16:40, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kitty (Avril Lavigne song)Hello Kitty (song) – The last RM took place nearly 2 years ago. A discussion at WT:Article titles#RfC: Artist name as disambiguation regarding non-notable song titles recently concluded that if only one song topic on Wikipedia is notable and has an article, it is preferred to simply use "(song)" as the disambiguator and attach a hatnote.

Removed references to unverifable reception by some Western Twitter users[edit]

I've taken out some content that made mentioned to some of the apparent reception in Western countries to the Japanese style/content of this song. There was one article on Billboard that made reference to that some Twitter users had labled the song racist or having cultural appropriation etc. I don't see how some anonymous Twitter users should be used a reliable sources in a Wikipedia article. That's no different from asking a couple of people walking down one street in one city about what they think about the song. What does seem relevant and a good source is Avril Levigne's own response to the apprarent critism. We know what she said, because she said it. Her response in itself illuminates the context, but more importantly for Wikipedia is verifiable and notable (because she said it about her own song). Her comments are towards the end of the page.

It's interesting that as of today (25 June 2020), this song has 180 million views on YouTube (released on 24 April 2014) with 1.8 million likes, 0.4 million dislikes and 261,270 comments. That's a lot of comments. For me, those comments are no/less important that what people might said on Twitter.

As a side issue, I wish we could include some reviews from Japanese music review sites. It does seem weird that a song that was released as a single in Japan only gets Western reviews in this article. The song was on her album which was released worldwide, but the single/video was for the Japanese marker. Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese, so I don't know how to find those reviews.Seaweed (talk) 10:00, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
