I Gave You Power

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:N and WP:RS. Not a confirmed single. Also, the reviews are for the cd, not the song. Undeath (talk) 05:47, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Individual songs are rarely notable (see WP:MUSIC).  --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 06:05, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 13:36, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The album is filled with links to articles identifying "I Gave You Power" as a song that is both significant to Nas, his albums and hip hop music. Just because the article references album reviews does not mean that the song isn't notable. Also, commercial attention should not be the only factor taken into account when considering a song's notability; critical success should also be a factor. Not to mention, the article is thoroughly sourced and expanded since the past "delete" comments were made.Noahdabomb3 (talk) 22:35, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete for failing WP:MUSIC, as the song has not been ranked on national or significant music charts, has not won a significant award or honour, and has not been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups. -- JediLofty UserTalk 16:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to It Was Written. It is true that, per WP:MUSIC, "Most songs do not merit an article," but it goes on to state that they "should redirect to another relevant article", not that sourced content such as is present in this article should be deleted. --Stormie (talk) 01:10, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to It Was Written per WP:MUSIC. There is some good content there, but the criteria suggest it belongs in the album article. -MrFizyx (talk) 20:25, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
