I'm from Texas

Desired recommendation would be to redirect to artist and protect, due to lack of established notability. Article creator removed PROD and continues to revert redirect without communication. In essence, all articles on singles or other recordings must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Unreleased material is only notable if it has significant independent coverage in reliable sources. This song is only released on iTunes. Sources include iTunes and a blog. The article as created stated it would be released on the album Street Life (Trae album), date unknown. Now the article states it will be released on a future mixtape, Tha Blackprint or Street Life (Trae album), date unknown. Simply WP:TOOSOON; see WP:NSONGS and WP:CRYSTAL. Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album.

 * Redirect or merge to where? - The Bushranger One ping only 23:23, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Trae. duffbeerforme (talk) 14:13, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Trae or Tha Blackprint (redlink), per WP:NALBUMS. No reliable sources in article to warrant merge. I found two sources, which aren't sufficient to establish notability. -- Trevj (talk) 11:20, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
