Fails Music: "A separate article 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." -- Jeandré, 2008-09-06t16:42z 16:42, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. I don't think that all chart singles are inherently notable, but I usually give Top 10 hits the benefit of the doubt. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 17:26, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep per TenPoundHammer. Eric444 (talk) 17:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Per the nom, I don't think this has much value to the pedia, and is unlikely now that it will be beyond a stub.  I found this on IRC via mention by TenPoundHammer where he mentioned it. NonvocalScream (talk) 17:56, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I wasn't canvassing. :-P Seriously, though, there are virtually no editors on Wikipedia who wish to expand country music articles, so I'd give it a bigger chance than I would most other stubs.

 * Just for clarification, there was *no* disruptive canvassing. Just a mention in passing and TPH did not make any recommendation.  NonvocalScream (talk) 18:12, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I know that. I just said "No, I wasn't canvassing" to be silly. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:12, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I did not want anyone else to get that idea that you were when you were not. NonvocalScream (talk) 18:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * In all seriousness though, your argument comes off as WP:USELESS to me. Precedent is that charting singles are usually notable, and I see nothing that makes this any less notable than any other charting single. In fact, I'd probably say it's even a little more notable, given that it was also a #3 hit on the Canadian country charts. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:19, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Your counter argument of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS does not hold. The reason for this is that articles are discussed as single entities not dependent on precedent. NonvocalScream (talk) 18:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Either way, I see no reason to delete. Could it at least be merged? WP:MUSIC suggests a merge if the single article is unlikely to expand, not a deletion. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:23, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You can merge and redirect, see if it holds, and if it does for a few hours, I'll post a note here and ask if there are any discussions to closing the AFD as merged. NonvocalScream (talk) 18:25, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll sit on it for now. Right now, the consensus looks more like keeping than merging (although merge is technically a keep). If anyone else suggests a merge, then I'll probably do it. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:28, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per TenPoundHammer. --Caldorwards4 (talk) 19:19, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per TenPoundHammer. I'd say top 10 singles would certainly be notable. matt91486 (talk) 22:54, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
