@Ss112: Hello, and apologies for the random ping. Since you are very knowledge about music articles, I was wondering if you could assess the notability of this one. I created this article around the same time the song was released, after I noticed that it was getting coverage from third-party, reliable sources. However, there has not been much in the way of updates on the song, and I would not imagine that there will be anytime in the future (I know this is 100% Wikipedia:CRYSTALBALL, but Rowland has not performed this song live or did any interviews on it). Do you think that this song is notable enough for its own page, or should it be merged/redirected somewhere in the future (such as the main article on Rowland or an album article if this song is ever included on a future release)? The main reason I ask is because I am conflicted on the matter. The song has received coverage so I am reluctant to merge and redirect this, but I am also uncertain if any new information will ever be released about this song and if the article can ever expand beyond this point. It may also be best to simply wait a year or two, and then decide when if further information does indeed come out or not. Again, apologies for the random (and rambling) message, but I wanted to get your perspective just so I have a better understanding if/when I run into similar situations in the future. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 (talk) 06:23, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Aoba47: Hey there. I think you have a decent collection of sources here, and there appears to be enough coverage on the song even to stand on its own without charting or reaching much beyond what it already has. Several critics have assessed it, which is usually what we need in the absence of charting and what comes with that (as the song is not immediately new and is past the period of being a new release). I wouldn't worry about it too much; it's fine to stay as it is, even if you can't significantly expand it beyond this point. If at a future point, Rowland releases an album with this on it and you feel that the material here can be merged without sacrificing much, that's really up to you.

Thank you for the response, and that makes sense to me. I agree that it is best to keep the article up for the time being and possibly assess it again at a later date. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Aoba47 (talk) 06:48, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
