Automatic (Nicki Minaj song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This is a track on an album by Nicki Minaj and it has been announced, in some fairly unreliable sources that it will be released as a single in September 2012. The 'review' quotes are generally brief mentions or reviews of the album, rather than singling out a particular track. In my view it doesn't get anywhere near meeting WP:GNG or WP:NALBUM. We don't want a situation where every unreleased track on every album has a Wikipedia article! At best this article should be resubmitted when the single has been released and it has received in-depth coverage in its own right. Sionk (talk) 00:21, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, the song's parent album. I agree with Sionk that there's a lack of significant coverage in reliable sources for this song; the Popdust song review is the best of the current bunch, but I'm unable to find additional coverage beyond mentions within album reviews (although the paragraph in Billboard is a decent length, too). Reaching #199 on a singles chart is not enough in my view to tip the scales. If this is indeed Minaj's next single, then more coverage and chart entries will almost surely follow...redirecting seems reasonable until the song more clearly satisfies WP:GNG or WP:NSONGS.

 * Redirect - The original content will remain so if it charts or becomes a big hit it's trivial to go back to the previous version. But there's a real proliferation of individual song articles lately about songs that are upcoming or otherwise untested, and not notable. Shadowjams (talk) 05:55, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

If this article is retained, it should certainly have a tag that says "Not to be confused with Automatic_(Pointer_Sisters_song) - and I have already pointed that out on the talk page of this article. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 18:58, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You can do that now, although it's a disambiguated page title, I don't know how someone's going to accidentally navigate there while wanting a Pointer Sisters' song. Shadowjams (talk) 22:35, 31 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect Despite repeated searching I can find no evidence of this tracks release, both artists are about to release other songs... Nicki Minaj Reveals New Song 'Masquerade' & Misha 'Do You Think Of Me', nor is the any evidence they have worked in the studio together. Though Minaj was supposed to have had a top secret trip to a recording studio in Dallas this week http://video.lycos.com/news/view/nicki-minaj-has-secret-recording-session-15073/ so who knows, its just not fact atm....
