 * Redirect to the album Dilettantes (album) from which this single is taken, merging such content as is appropriate (ATD, PRESERVE, R). James500 (talk) 01:10, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep have added references - satisfies WP:GNG. Dan arndt (talk) 23:11, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep its been described in multiple sources including at least three reviews, passes WP:SONGS.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:12, 10 March 2016 (UTC)


 * ,  and . I have checked all the added references to the article, and they are:-
 * 2 confirmations that the song exists (APRA and ARIA),
 * a link to an archive of the band’s webpage (which confirms release as a single), and
 * 5 reviews of the album, each of which contains one sentence about the song.


 * So I remind you of the some of the contents of WP:NSONGS which says, “Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability.”  WP:GNG gives “The Blind Mice“ example, which sums up the references for this song so far. Perhaps the call for a redirect has been proven, but not for a separate article.--Richhoncho (talk) 10:29, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment the APRA reference is confirmation that Tim Rogers wrote the song and the ARIA reference is confirmation of the release date. The reviews are not the same as "The Blind Mice" example as they specifically comment on the song and are not merely a mention that it exists. Dan arndt (talk) 06:23, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Response. The Three Blind Mice part of GNG reads, "Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton, that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band." --Richhoncho (talk) 10:21, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree that the Blind Mice example is a trivial mention, the reviews however clearly are not. They are actual critical reviews of the song not a mere mention of the song's existence. Dan arndt (talk) 13:05, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Still doesn't pass NSONGS, which is why you tried to hang your opposition on GNG. Do I need to actually list the sentences where the song is mentioned as part of the album review to prove how nn the song is? Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 17:21, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Dilettantes (album) as the reviews, although they could've been convincing enough to keep, seem to still be thin to support keeping the article altogether so this is best connected to the album. SwisterTwister   talk  04:23, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to album. Not enough in-depth coverage to pass either WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:19, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
