Heartlight (song)

The article is 99% trivia, hardly any content at all, 1 reference, this article serves very small importance anyway, If someone believes this article is needed then they can recreate it with more referenced content --- Scarce  ||||  You shouldn't have buried me,   I'm not dead --- 12:46, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The song charted and thus passes WP:NSONGS. Both the chart history and "trivia" regarding the ET influence can be referenced to the Billboard artist biography. Nouse4aname (talk) 13:05, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. A song that charted at #5 in the US is difinitely notable. Deletion rationale is decidely flawed.--Michig (talk) 13:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: meets required notability criteria. Rewrite it if you don't like the way it's written.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 13:16, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NSONGS. Whereas I have great sympathy for deleting articles with poor/no references or mostly trivia it's not the WP way. --Richhoncho (talk) 13:26, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment: If this article is kept, it will need a stub notice, and all content that requires references that weren't provided will be deleted, It's going to need major improvements. Let me see what I can do right now --- Scarce  ||||  You shouldn't have buried me,   I'm not dead --- 15:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I did some improvements to it --- Scarce  ||||  You shouldn't have buried me,   I'm not dead --- 15:47, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The improvements look fine to me. It's good to see an editor prepared to improve an article after nominating it for deletion.--Michig (talk) 15:57, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, passes the 2 criteria for WP:MUSIC; it's charted, and in my view there is enough verifiable material to allow article to grow beyond a stub.   Esradekan Gibb    "Klat" 01:04, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. A notable song, written by notable songwriters and performed by a notable artist. I'm predicting snow.Niteshift36 (talk) 04:08, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Keep in mind, I did improvements to it recently, don't forget to check the history --- Scarce  ||||  You shouldn't have buried me,   I'm not dead --- 04:55, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Special thanks to Scarce. Many articles aren't keep or delete, but "improve" which Scarce has done. It's a pity that I, or one of the others that said keep, didn't do it and back our words with actions. --Richhoncho (talk) 12:17, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Really? That's odd as I seem to remember hunting for and adding references to support the chart positions and ET inspiration . Perhaps Scarce should have read WP:BEFORE and improved the article before the four keep votes above made it clear that the article was indeed notable. Nouse4aname (talk) 12:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
