Keep Young and Beautiful (song)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article makes no attempt to flesh out its notability, and brief researches don't throw up any reliable sources discussing this song directly and in detail. It was deleted via PROD and undeleted following this ridiculous request which duplicates WP:ITSNOTABLE to an extent of true beauty. ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  high seas  ─╢ 14:05, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Speedy deletion has been declined. Prod has been overturned.  And now what I tell you three times is true: the topic is notable, being documented in detail in sources such as Designing women: cinema, art deco, and the female form.  It is our editing policy to keep such promising material. Colonel Warden (talk) 15:53, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Just because a 1933 song isn't mentioned much on the internet doesnt make it non-notable. Cheers.--Richhoncho (talk) 21:52, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Can you cite a couple of non-Internet sources which discuss this subject directly and in detail thus making notable? Cheers. ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  sundries  ─╢ 22:19, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * If I could I would have already added to article. My only source is my memory - and I wasn't around in 1933. LOL. Cheers.--Richhoncho (talk) 22:22, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Please could I advise you to read WP:ITSNOTABLE, particularly the passage which says: "Simply asserting that something is notable without providing an explanation or source for such a claim of notability is problematic." If you cannot substantiate your claim that reliable sources provide significant coverage of this song, then you have essentially provided no helpful reason to keep the article. Cheers. ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  CANUKUS  ─╢ 22:27, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very well-known song that has also been recorded by Howard Beaumont & John Taylor, Denny Dennis & Roy Fox, Phil Kelsall, and the Pasadena Roof Orchestra, according to an old R.E.D. Tracks catalogue that I have.--Michig (talk) 06:07, 19 May 2011 (UTC)...and there are an awful lot of sources that discuss this song, e.g., , , , , . The song appears to be notable for the objections to its message almost as much as for its popularity. --Michig (talk) 06:31, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Michig; seems that there's plenty of sourcing. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 15:26, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, I do see why this has been nominated, however, i's a very famous song so I think it should stay. TehGrauniad (talk) 16:39, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Michig. Rlendog (talk) 17:13, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per basic common knowledge, this being a song that is immediately recognisable by most people in the English-speaking world and many beyond. Yes, I know that this is original research, but I was born 25 years after this song was written and "know" that it is notable, but to check further I just asked a Pole of about my age and two English people in their twenties whether they knew this song and all replied "of course". Let's use deletion discussions for subjects where there is some genuine doubt about suitability for an encyclopedia, rather than ones that anyone with enough general knowledge to be capable of editing an encylopedia knows to be notable.

 * Comment. I would add that this, being more notable by orders of magnitude than the Dad's Army episode, should be moved to Keep Young and Beautiful, and the current article at the title should get the disambiguator. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:25, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with both your comments above. It is indeed a very famous song, and the Dad's Army article suggests that the episode was named after the song. TehGrauniad (talk) 23:08, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
