Lost (MC Shadow song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )



My personal opinion is that an article for every single song of this rappers upcoming album  '88'  (for which no article exists yet), plus two songs from compilation albums, is not needed and unencyclopedic. rayukk &#124; talk 00:24, 22 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I respect the opinion of rayukk. My opinion is that this artist is relevant and the project with the 3 separate singles has relevancy in that they are separate songs released apart from his future album. The name of the album was released but the single (Lost) in it's current version will not be included on the album, just the musical score in the film only. These individual songs are actually individual chapters in the trilogy - short film project. This artist and his team are creating something that hasn't been done before in music and would also be very relevant. It is informative and organic in that more details of music relevancy & significance will be able to be added and update thus article. This is not being used as some form of promotional tool but historical value based upon the artists historic Canadian music background and accomplishments. Additionally, this is something that has appeared by numerous other musical artists.   oldschoolmc talk 00:45, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak delete all. None of these songs have ever charted (CHEER music chart notwithstanding). Frankly, I'm not even sure MC Shadow himself (or his group, Get Loose Crew) are notable either; and it doesn't help that the articles' respective tones are far from neutral.

 * Delete all per nom. Per WP:NMUSIC, every song that exists — or even every song that happens to get released as a single — does not necessarily get an automatic standalone article as a separate topic from its parent album. Rather, a song only gets a separate article if it can be reliably sourced as being more notable than most songs for some substantive reason (e.g. charting on an IFPI-certified national pop chart). Of these songs, however, "Resurrection" is the only one that's actually even attempting an actual claim of notability, rather than mere existence — but it misses the mark for two reasons: firstly, !earshot is not an IFPI-certified chart that counts toward a song's notability per Record charts — and secondly, the source fails to actually support the claim. It's not the actual !earshot chart, but merely the tracking report that one individual radio station (CFRC-FM in Kingston, Ontario) submitted to the !earshot chart for calculation — so it quite literally counts for nothing toward whether a song clears the notability bar or not. I checked the actual fully-compiled national charts for the entire past three months, and the song doesn't show up at all in any of them. So there's just nothing here that gets any of the songs past Wikipedia's front door as of right now. No prejudice against recreation as redirects to an article about the album if one ever actually exists. Bearcat (talk) 21:24, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
