I Promised Myself (Basshunter Song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested prod. The reason for the proposed deletion is: "Per WP:NSONGS: "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article", only reached 94 on UK singles chart, no references."

Prod was contested by 71.111.133.130, who said on the talk page: "Don't delete this page!!! Just because the song only made it as high as 94 doesn't mean it should be deleted! 94 is still in the top 100! And it's a single off of his album, so there should be a page for it. And it's not like it's hurtful having the page here, and it's not completely useless, so it should stay! And if people try deleting it, I will just recreate it. So, ha. There!"

I would still propose the article is deleted per WP:NSONGS which not only says that "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article", but also "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."

I'm sorry if I mess up typing how we're supposed to on this page, because I don't know exactly. And if it's listed somewhere, well then it's too mess to find. Sorry! "I Promised Myself" is truly a single. It may not have risen up to a super high number, but not all singles do. The single does have a music video, and the page is informative. Therefore, I think it should stay. If even needed, I will research more about the single to add information to the page and cite everything. Please don't delete the page. Thank you for your time. And apologize with how I acted before. I was in a bad mood and very stressed when I discovered that the page was up for deletion, and Basshunter is my favorite, and this is where I come for information on him, his albums, and his singles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.111.133.130 (talk) 00:39, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to I Promised Myself. The Basshunter version is cover of a Nick Kamen song that already has its own article, and we shouldn't have separate articles for every cover version regardless of whether they charted or not. The are no sources in this article, so there is nothing to merge, but redirects are cheap, and it is a plausible search term I suppose. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 01:08, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

So how about this compromise? I find citations for information there is currently (for what actually needs it) and that can then be transferred over to the other page to have its own mini section, just like the A*Teens version. Would that be okay then? And now that I think of it, that's been done with another one of Basshunter's singles that was a remake. I think it was "Please Don't Go." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.111.133.130 (talk) 03:55, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge anything missing (which, by the looks of it, is a lot) over to I Promised Myself, then redirect to the same. This is a cover version, and we don't have separate pages, regardless of its notability. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  14:20, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
