I.L.Y. (Yokubō)

Fails WP:MUSIC and the guidelines mentioned in MUSIC. MS  (Talk | Contributions)  00:50, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep because it is clearly notable: it is the debut single of a very popular Japanese singer, it charted modestly on Japan's national music chart, and it has been used as a theme song in the TV show G Paradise, as well as at least one commercial. Sorafune   +1  01:09, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: Um...why do you think that it doesn't pass WP:MUSIC? Joe Chill (talk) 02:22, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * "All articles on albums, singles or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" and I tried to redirect the article per this (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.) but Sorafune disagreed and undid the redirect and said to send the article to AfD.

 * It meets the criteria of WP:MUSIC as Sorafune pointed out (WP:N doesn't matter in this situation). Joe Chill (talk) 03:06, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
