Il pescatore

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I PROD'd this article with the reason, Fails WP:GNG, WP:NSONG. It was opposed by the article's author, with the reason, "the song itself is one of the most popular in the whole of De Andre's discography. Its popularity is attested by the inclusion of its lyric in several published works not about music, such as poetry anthologies and school books". Popularity is not a valid argument to fulfill notability. — Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 03:41, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn by nominator, sources found and article improved, making article pass notability. — Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 23:06, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep, apparently the nominator is nominating for deletion all articles by the same creator, and while the creator seems to be ignoring en.wikipedia rules on sourcing and notability criteria, the nominator is himself disruptively ignoring any attempt to WP:BEFORE. The song easily passes GNG (just look at Google Books for a hint of its coverage, there's enough material for a class B article at the very least) and NSONG (by the way it reached #13 in the Italian hit parade). I made some corrections and added some sources to the page (more work to come). Cavarrone 10:30, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi there. I did not ignore any attempt at WP:BEFORE, I took a look for each of the articles I nominated (but I clearly wasn't thorough enough). I make mistakes though and I apologize; I will attempt to be much more thorough in the future AfDs. Thanks — Mcguy15  (talk, contribs) 13:48, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Article has sufficient RS. The song has a history and that is evidenced here. Lamona (talk) 15:24, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Decent sources (mostly in Italian) including books results available for this charting song. AusLondonder (talk) 13:38, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
