 * Keep http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_wizard/Musical_notability This song is by a major record label and also a pop Musical standard and also Ross Lynch's other singles exist on wikipedia like Heard It on the Radio. It also didn't win a major award. Your claim is not proper. You cannot nominate an article for deletion without proper criteria.The song has been played on International television.This song is notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shane Cyrus (talk • contribs) 05:11, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete and Redirect to Ross Lynch Austin & Ally (soundtrack). No evidence of notability per WP:NSONG which is the standard. Cited sources generally fail WP:RS and many seem to have little or nothing to do with the subject of the article. A quick Google failed to yield anything that rang the notability bell. With respect to the Keep argument posted above I don't see any evidence presented of notability. The burden of proof where notability is concerned is with the article's creator, not the nom, though AfD noms are expected to exercise due diligence to avoid frivolous nominations. The notability of a singer or composer does not automatically transfer to their works. As for the existence of other articles about singles from the same source that is a WP:OTHERSTUFF argument which holds no water. If evidence of charting or some other notability endowing factor is found I am open to reconsideration. -Ad Orientem (talk) 06:36, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Austin & Ally (soundtrack) - plausible search term as a promotional single from a notable album, but I'm finding no evidence that this meets WP:GNG or WP:NSONGS.  Gongshow   talk  07:23, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
