Apple (song)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Although released as a single, the song does not have substantial coverage in multiple reliable published sources that are independent of the music group. Sources like this and this are more of routine coverage without an actual discussion on the song's composition. The sole Metro source is obviously unreliable and this briefly mentions about the track while focusing mostly on the album. The recording has appeared on the Gaon Digital Chart at 54 and K-pop Hot 100 at 41, but has not been certified or received major accolades. The fact that the song has charted or was released independently as a single is not by itself reason for a standalone article since notability requires independent evidence, and charting alone does not indicate that a song is notable. I had originally redirected the article to Song of the Sirens but another editor reverted it, so it might it be worth discussing if a standalone article for the song is at all appropriate.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: No support for deletion given, but those supporting "keep" haven't given rationale beyond NSONG bullet points, which only suggest possible notability (depending on other sources).
 * Keep: The sources are reliable and the song has recognition in South Korea. I think that the article doesn't fail WP:NSONG. 2A01:E0A:252:630:8C0F:8A54:20F7:95F 21:15, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Charting may indicate that a song is notable, does not mean that it is notable. Where is "substantial" coverage in multiple reliable independent sources? Ashley  yoursmile!  04:36, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as the IP above said. Ahxomy (talk) 19:23, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , sorry but that does not address the concerns raised. Notability requires significant independent coverage, something that the song does not have. Ashley  yoursmile!  10:04, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Song of the Sirens. There is only one actual source reference about the song (Teen Vogue); all the rest are links to videos or chart lists. Does not meet WP:NSONG or WP:GNG in my opinion. If coverage blows up later then a separate article may be warranted, but this is at least WP:TOOSOON. LizardJr8 (talk) 15:57, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect for parent album, it doesn not meet WP:NSONG, at least for now. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 10:46, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
