Hail to Pitt

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No indication of notability, as mandated by WP:GNG. Fails WP:MUSIC as well.  P G Pirate  23:02, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The article covers more than the topic of one song as an obvious breakout article from the University of Pittsburgh and is too large to be re-integrated back into that article. The slogan is notable and has been discussed in third party literature and press. The song itself is highly notable in that it has been recorded and performed by a myriad of notable national artists (see See the Historical performances and recordings section of the article). WP:NSONG addresses this point specifically by stating that "[Songs] independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article". As this article is more than reasonably detailed, the multiple recordings and performances by notable artists satisfy notability. Further, it is of historical significance as the first college song to be broadcast on the radio. Importantly, Notability is not Temporary applies in this case with respect to the historical recordings, performances, and notoriety of the song. WP:LOCALFAME may apply as well. Although cleanup for the format of the references and cleanup are clearly needed, the article is well developed, well sourced, and provides a collection of historical information that is only found on Wikipedia.
