Talk:Blow (Beyoncé song)/Archive 1

Title
I accidentally made this article with a title inconsistent with the other song articles. I'm sorry! I don't know how to change it. Shiningroad (talk) 10:49, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
 * That's ok. The article should be moved to Blow (Beyoncé Knowles song), I already requested that.  Ma y ast  ( talk ) 12:17, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Temporary redirect: January 2014
As per WP:NSONG I think it is best that this article be redirected to the Beyoncé page for the time being. Specifically when comparing the article against this section of the notability criteria:


 * "Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability. If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created."

And the three further credentials listed:


 * 1) Has been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts.
 * 2) Has won one or more significant awards or honors, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.
 * 3) Has been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups.
 * Note: Songs that do not rise to notability for an independent article should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song.

Even though it was to be released as one of the first singles, it was swapped out for another and the only media coverage has come as part of album reviews. Until it charts I think it's best to leave it as a redirect, otherwise we may as well create an article for every song on the album, which would be redundant at this point.

What happened to the entire article history from before the redirect?  Ma y ast  ( talk ) 20:25, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I was thinking that earlier as well. Because I remember working on the article before. — Status  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 20:26, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Someone recreated Blow (Beyoncé Knowles song) and then Blow (Beyoncé song) was deleted to make way for the move. I assumed the deleting and moving admin would have merged the histories... Adabow (talk) 20:32, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I recreated the article, and no, I couldn't get access to the article's history before it became a redirect. 和DITOR  E tails 10:53, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
