I believe this should actually be a redirect to The Fame Monster but my attempt to make that happen was reverted without discussion, which is why I'm taking this route. My understanding of WP:NALBUMS indicates that since this song has not charted, won a significant award or been performed by several notable artists, and since there is not enough verifiable material material to warrant a reasonably detailed article, this song should redirect to the album on which it appears. The single useful citation is one where the artist explains the meaning of the song on the MTV site and I believe this article is unlikely to grow beyond the stub that would be in place if the original research, unreferenced speculation, etc., is all edited out.

• Delete Quite clearly one user taking things personally. I agree according to WP:NALBUMS this should be deleted. Jonathan McLeod (talk) 22:56, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I should add that this article was created by a new user whose first and only contribution this is, and I have every reason to assume good faith; just someone who doesn't know Wikipedia's processes/policies. Accounting4Taste:talk 23:00, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - There might be one or two notable performances of this song, such as the mash-up of this song with the single Telephone at the 2010 BRIT Awards in memory of Alexander McQueen, although this event is already covered well in the Telephone article. Other than that, there's no charting, awards, covers, etc.. so it's a clear violation of WP:NALBUMS & WP:SONGS.
• Merge and redirect as is the norm (and supported by our guidelines) in such cases. Likely will chart, no reason to make recreation harder.Hobit (talk) 06:03, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge or Delete. Every utterance by Lady Gaga does not need its own article. This is not notable (and the title is not formatted properly anyway). - eo (talk) 12:03, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge or Redirect to the album, per WP:NALBUMS. Rlendog (talk) 22:14, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
