The result was Redirect to the album article. The single hasn't charted; best to just go to the album for now. Tony Fox (arf!) 05:46, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no chartage, no WP:RS, fails WP:MUSIC. I was going to say redirect back to the album, but as TPH has pointed out in previous discussions, very, very few people are going to type in that exact phrasing as a search term. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 23:55, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I have just restored the AfD to the article. It was down for 2 days. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 18:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This page should not be deleted because, it is a legitimate single from an artist that is set to be extremely popular, she has been featured in many popular urban magazines & websites & is hotly tipped to be the 'next big thing'. The track is already available for download on Amazon.com & is doing well. I think this article is relevant & is worthy of remaining on Wiki. Maybe the situation should be reviewed at a later date? - Markieboy (talk)
Comment - If the article is deleted, it isn't irreversable if the song later becomes notable. As it is, there is very little actual information in the article and none that can't be easily found to re-create the article, if appropriate, at a later date. That said, that the song has been released as a single or that the artist is notable (or expected to be very popular, etc.) does not mean the song is currently notable. Please see a detailed explanation of what (typically) is considered evidence of notability at WP:MUSIC#SONGS. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 19:48, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Keep The general precedent is that when an artist is notable (passing WP:MUSIC), their singles generally get articles too. I don't see any reason why this particular single would be some sort of exception. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:53, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I have seen nothing to indicate this precedent. Albums by notable artists are notable, as detailed in WP:MUSIC#ALBUMS: "In general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia." But songs are another story: "Most songs do not merit an article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for a prominent album or for the artist who wrote or prominently performed the song." WP:MUSIC#SONGS (Note that it's redirecting songs to the articles on notable artists or albums.) If the precedent is otherwise, the consensus should reflect it. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 20:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment A point about WP:MUSIC#ALBUMS. You said albums by notable artists are notable, but WP:MUSIC#ALBUMS says may be notable. It's a common error, but there's a world of difference. :) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:12, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I have restored the AfD tag again. down for about two days. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 12:55, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. If it becomes notable, then it can easily be reverted. If it doesn't, then it can be left as is. There's no need for an outright deletion as of yet. SKS2K6 (talk) 22:17, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think like Andrew. BGTopDon (talk), (contribs) 16:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
