Does not pass WP:NMG. Please merge or delete. Steve Quinn (talk) 05:18, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

"Withdrawn by nominator". I am rescinding this AfD that I created based on information from User:Cavarrone's Ivote below. The article passes notability requirements and will become a Speedy Keep. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:53, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

 * The song appears to pass WP:NSONG for having charted in multiple national sales charts (including a third place on Billboard Japan Hot 100, third on Oricon and first on Taiwanese G-Music Chart). There are obvious language barriers which makes searches very hard, but there is little doubt some coverage exists. At the same time this AfD seems a case of systematic bias, as no one would ever nominate a song ranking third on Billboard US charts for deletion (and even if they would, the discussion would be closed in minutes). I'm going with procedural keep as a song with such a verifiable success should be at least merged and redirected to its parent article (as suggested by the same nominator), but not deleted in any way.

 * I didn't see where it charted, that is the reason I put this in AfD. Also, it was tagged for notability in the first place. The references seemed to be unintelligible. But if you want to vouch for this then I will withdraw the AfD. I will just attribute this to my inability to determine what the sources were saying. What you are saying matches what this article indicates and I don't see any need to merge - I agree with Keep. Now I have to figure out how to withdraw this AfD. --- Steve Quinn (talk) 00:41, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
