Hit the Lights (Selena Gomez & the Scene song)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No charts, no cover versions by multiple notable artists, no awards: fails WP:NSONGS. Attempts to redirect the article to the parent album have been thwarted without explanation, unless you count "the song have a music video!" as an explanation. &mdash;Kww(talk) 01:15, 17 November 2011 (UTC) Incubate This song may not pass WP:NSONGS now, I think that in a few weeks the song should have a notable atrticle.

 * Keep per WP:GNG. I found the following sources today (which may not have been available at the time of nomination, since the video aired today) that reviewed the video in detail.  There are in total, about 40 other articles like these ones.
 * This MTV review
 * this review by Billboard
 * this review by The Improper
 * this review from The Vancouver Sun
 * Therefore, I think this is pretty open-and-shut case of keep here. The song is independently notable from the album. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 03:47, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The GNG simply makes a topic eligible to have an article. It in no way mandates that we have one, and the relevant SNG indicates that in this case we should not.&mdash;Kww(talk) 04:16, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * This is fair, and I think an important distinction that you've made, Kww. But because I think the coverage of the song and related video is likely to grow (as it has just today since the video's release), I think it might be more reasonable to redirect and merge the article into When the Sun Goes Down for the time being, rather than outright delete the article.

 * Redirect to When the Sun Goes Down. Fails WP:NSONGS (for the time being) due to not charting, although a redirect makes more sense than a delete. Till I Go Home (talk) 06:35, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Seeing as the song is new, it should stay until it has had time to impact the charts, then you can decide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.46.101.48 (talk) 22:56, 20 November 2011 (UTC)  — 194.46.101.48 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Sorry, but we don't presume to know the future of whether the song will chart or not. I think we can wait until it does.  I, Jethrobot  drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 23:03, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
