Cartoons (song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While I like the song, there is no indication that the song is notable. As a hidden track and not charting it's barely known. Fails WP:NSONG and WP:GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:26, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 07:30, 26 December 2016 (UTC) The reason this song is so notable is because it was so popular on the U.S. Christian Pop charts in 1999/2000, and then suddenly fell out of favor among national groups who took the song literally. It was a huge controversy in Christian music at the time. The song was included on the album "Wow 2000: The Year's Top Christian Artists & Songs," and the controversy is documented in the articles "The Cartoon Song by Chris Rice" and "Chris Rice and the Great 'Cartoons' Controversy". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grattan33 (talk • contribs) 21:40, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: Nothing enough found to support general or [WP:NSONG] Current sources rely on interviews of Chris Rice and blog posts from sites without editorial policy. The controversy aspect sources are again blog posts. Lacks independent coverage by reliable sources. Gab4gab (talk) 16:50, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep per Grattan33. While it may not meet NSONG, the controversy around the song itself meets GNG. Jclemens (talk) 02:12, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
