Danke Deutschland (song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No proof of meeting WP:GNG: just one reference to a book, where the song is mentioned in a single sentence. That's good enough for the article's single-sentence first paragraph; everything else is unverifiable. GregorB (talk) 23:24, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Note: here is a paragraph devoted to the song; this book has a chapter named for the song (though the song is apparently mentioned in the second half of the chapter, which has no preview, see Note 21 to Chapter 17). הסרפד  (call me “Hasirpad”) (formerly R——bo) 23:55, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Hmm, actually, this is quite known... This slogan somehow became quite popular in ordinary life. But, it would be nice to have a little more references and data... -- WhiteWriterspeaks 11:47, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree with you in that the song is not exactly unknown. My point is rather that its notability needs to be backed up by non-trivial coverage in reliable sources. Even if the song inspired a slogan: a) RS must confirm it, and b) this fact must be demonstrated to have an importance that is beyond trivial (globally, there must be thousands of slogans or catchphrases inspired by popular media, that is films, songs, even commercials, which does not make them necessarily notable).

 * Keep: per WW - Ret.Prof (talk) 23:37, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep unless anyone can suggest a suitable merge target. This was fairly widely covered, e.g., , , , , but there isn't so much to be said about it that it couldn't be summarized in another article - Croatian War of Independence seems the nearest we have to a suitable target but I think it would be too trivial to add there. --Michig (talk) 16:19, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
