Drive the Boat

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Kyle Peake was wanting to take the article to AFD. Saying it lacked reliable resources. I did it myself so he wouldn’t go through the trouble. It is up to the community to decide to fate of the article. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 20:13, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Comment: I never said that it lacks reliable sources; if you go back, I actually only noted the small amount of sources. Take a look at WPN:Songs – this song not only has a very small amount of sources, but it also failed to chart, receive any awards, nor has any notable live performances, evidently. --:Kyle Peake
 * Kyle Peake he was never able to perform the song live because he was murdered 2 months after the release.

 * Redirect - article at hand fails WP:GNG, and the above mentioned project notability guideline for songs. BEFORE shows nothing better. Pro tip for the article creator: interviews with the artist do not show notability for either himself or his work. At best, WP:TOOSOON. The page at hand should be redirected to the artist's article and only recreated when enough independent sources are available.
 * Redirect to Pop Smoke discography. While there appears to be some coverage on this song, I do not believe it has received a significant amount of coverage. However, there is limited coverage and this is a viable search term so I would think this would be better suited as a redirect rather than an outright deletion.

 * Redirect to Pop Smoke discography This fails per WP:NSONGS, which requires significant third-party coverage. HĐ (talk) 03:45, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I would also personally note to the editor, and any other Music-related editor, although it is tempting to create articles on songs of your favorite artists, it is not always a case of notability. We have had quite a few AFDs in the past on this matter i.e. this, this). Make sure the songs do have significant third-party and non-trivial coverage (i.e. independent of album reviews / press interviews / radio briefings). HĐ (talk) 03:53, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Pop Smoke discography Not really his most popular song. I agree that this should be redirected. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 03:47, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
