 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. This discussion reveals many editors with doubts about the notability of this song; but there is no overall consensus to do anything in particular with it, and definitely no consensus to delete. A merge to Confessions of a Shopaholic (film) does seem a reasonable way forward, but I can't really pull a consensus to do so out of this discussion. ~ mazca  talk 00:19, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Fashion (Heidi Montag/Lady Gaga song)

Delete - fails WP:MUSIC. Never released as a single and no notability outside its album. Not a lot else to say really. DJ 23:57, 3 July 2009 (UTC) Delete - per nomination.

 * Delete for reasons given, no non-trivial media coverage--CastAStone//₵₳$↑₳₴₮ʘ№€ 04:03, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Confessions of a Shopaholic#Soundtrack KMFDM FAN  (talk!) 18:39, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Very notable. Recorded by two major pop figures. Included on soundtracks to major shows. Definitely worth including. Plenty of coverage here . ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:43, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 4 articles. All trivial mentions. DJ 17:59, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If an article is about a subject, it is by definition more than a trivial mention. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:20, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Baloney. Read WP:RS. DJ 19:57, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * First you argued that the mentions were trivial, now you're arguing that the sources aren't reliable? You're welcome to take MTV News and Access Hollywood to the RS noticeboard. I'm confident that when it comes to pop music they are very appropriate to use. ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:03, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * merge to Confessions of a Shopaholic (film). This song fails WP:MUSIC: it hasn't charted, there's no reviews, and the given sources don't cover the song deeply. --Andrewlp1991 (talk) 03:15, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge to Confessions of a Shopaholic (film). The song was sung by two well known recording artists and features on very well known television and movie soundtracks. It was also released as a single. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User: (talk • contribs)
 * Delete per nomination. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 10:46, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The song has been performed independently by two notable artists and thus passes WP:MUSIC. --Pokerdance (talk/contribs) 11:14, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Have you actually read that notability guideline? Simply being performed by notables doesn't make the song notable. --Andrewlp1991 (talk) 20:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Per WP:MUSIC, being indepedently performed by several notable artists - which this song is - automatically makes it notable. Maybe you need to read into policies a little better... --Pokerdance (talk/contribs) 02:14, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The song is still not notable, as not received by third party critics or charting in any charts. Hence fails badly. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 08:38, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:MUSIC states, "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable." So the fact that neither version has charted is irrelevant. And being received by third-party critics is not a requirement. --Pokerdance (talk/contribs) 22:06, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
