Hey Men

This single does not meet notability criteria for singles or for songs. If the details can be sourced, merge them into the article about the album The Adventures of Women & Men Without Hate in the 21st Century. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 21:54, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Article as written is definitely inadequate, but this song was a top ten charting hit: you'll see it in this chart parked at #8 between Lou Gramm and Paula Abdul. And on a ProQuest search, I am finding a few pieces of coverage that specifically address aspects of the song, including some criticism of the possessive implications of the lyric "Stop pushing your women 'round" and some implications that the anti-violence theme actually fed its chart performance — it actually seemed to be stalling out on the charts until Polytechnique happened, and then bam, top ten because current single by band from Montreal which addressed violence against women = easy instant anthem. So, yeah, that's notability per WP:NSONG. I'll substance and ref it up properly. Bearcat (talk) 20:28, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Thanks for improving the article. Would you also be able to use ProQuest to help improve Sideways as well? Heepman1997 (talk) 09:07, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - WP:NSONG, WP:GNG - Has been highly ranked on a significant music chart. Ranked #8 on RPM, which is one of the "Recommended charts" listed at Record charts. Also the song has received significant coverage in reliable secundary sources and meets WP:GNG. -- Taketa (talk) 08:53, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
