Let's Get This Party Started (song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I created this article when I wasn't familiar with WP:NSONG. The song fails WP:NSONG and has not gained significant coverage in reliable source. This song needs to be redirected to its parent article  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 16:49, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep. Song is probably borderline notable, given the cited coverage. Article has scores of incoming links, so outright deletion would be disruptive, and because it is a collaboration among several notable performers there is no natural redirect target. In any event, "this song needs to be redrected" is not a valid reason for deletion. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006.

 * You say speedy keep and then say borderline notable. Borderline notable is not the same as notable. What criteria of WP:NSONG does this song meet?  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 17:08, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Coverage suggests song may meet GNG. Note that at least one other editor has independently converted similar speedy nominations by you to redirects. This is just wasting editors' time; the appropriate outcome is evident. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006.  (talk) 17:11, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * You keep using words like "probable" and "may". The song is either notable or not notable. There is no middle ground here.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 17:15, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * That may or may not be so, but you're assertin and repeating it isn't conclusive. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006.  (talk) 17:19, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I think the issue here is a conceptual one. Versace's understanding of WP:NSONG is that if the only significant coverage(s) to a song is in reviews then it shouldn't have its own article. But Hullaballoo Wolfowitz's is of the opinion that for a song to have so many reviews from reliable sources+it's artists being very notable then it probably already passed WP:GNG. For my sake, I hope I was able to break it down well. I am not as experienced as both of you in terms of the guidelines for inclusion of songs on Wikipedia, so I will just pass on this one.

 * This particular article will get deleted. The articles for most of the songs from Drake's Views album will be redirected to their parent article despite them charting. The problem with Drake's songs and this one is that none of them have been discussed in significant detail. Contrary to what you just said, reviews are the driving force that determines a song's notability. If this song has received reviews in reliable sources, it will meet the requirements of WP:NSONG.

 * Delete instead as there's enough to likely keep an article, but nothing particularly outstanding to actually suggests its own currently acceptable article. SwisterTwister   talk  00:52, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. A source already in the article identifies this as an important record in Nigeria. As Hullaballoo points out, there is no natural single redirect target for this collaboration.  Whatever the recent general trend around here may be as to more redirecting of singles, in this case the best result is to keep it. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:31, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. the song has no evidence of notability Samat lib (talk) 21:35, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Meets WP:G7. The article is borderline notable, the author requests deletion, and the author is the only editor who has added substantial content to the article. SST  flyer  10:48, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
