The result was   delete. The source provided by Naurmacil isn't enough on its own to show notability. Perhaps when the song comes out notability will be able to be established. Fabrictramp |  talk to me  23:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Hold My Hand (2008 song)


DELETE - This is a leaked song, we have no idea if it will even be released, whether it will appear on Akons or Jackson's album. It is not 100% proven that those are indeed Jackson's vocals. Not notable enough yet. Nice song though. — Realist 2  ( Who's Bad? ) 15:33, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. — • Gene93k (talk) 16:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MUSIC: the subject of the article is not notable because it has not been ranked on national or significant music charts, has not won significant awards or honors and has not been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups. This article does not have enough verifiable material to ever grow past a stub. SWik78 (talk • contribs) 16:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per both arguments above.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL and possible astroturfing WP:ADVERT. Madcoverboy (talk) 17:50, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge & redirect to Akon, the fact that MTV have reported on the leak makes it worthy of mention, although for sure it should not be a stand-alone article. --Stormie (talk) 00:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 01:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - The song must be true and not false because on the youtube website it clearly states the video has been taken down do to an issue with copyright of Sony/ATV and which akons publishing's are licensed to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tymike07 (talk • contribs) 02:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * WRONG - You added that to the article but you didn't provide a source to back up that claim so I removed it. — Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 02:38, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Billboard Magazine just wrote an article about the song. This 1. Confirms the song to be very true, and will be released for the next Akon album, 2. Gives the song notability, having been covered by one of the top music magazines. Suggest above comments be ignored as their concerns are addressed with this new article. Also suggest Realist2 to be patient and wait for one or two days before nomination of deletion next time, as it usually takes a few days for the full facts to be known as in this case.
