Missin' You (It Will Break My Heart)

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

Tagged as unreferenced since 2008 and still unreferenced to this day. A Google Books search finds three bare mentions naming it in lists of songs; a Google web search finds the lyrics, but I'm not spotting anything to suggest it's notable enough for its own article as opposed to just being listed in Ken Hirai discography (where it's already listed&mdash;good job us). I checked Notability (music) to make sure this wasn't a situation where just verifiably existing was enough for an article. I notice that page also advises "Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." -sche (talk) 08:19, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Started a related AfD for the album at Articles for deletion/Life Is... If that gets kept then I vote to redirect there, though with my doubts about that album's notability in mind I would primarily suggest this either get deleted or redirected elsewhere. Either way, this song definitely isn't getting a keep from me from the lack of coverage I've seen. QuietHere (talk &#124; contributions) 19:30, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Scratch all of that. Life Is... is definitely getting kept, and per Dekimasu below this one is probably as well. As much as I don't like the idea of leaving an article on the promise of sources that we don't readily have, it appears I'm in the minority on that being a reason to delete more often than not. Consider me a no-vote here. QuietHere (talk &#124; contributions) 11:30, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

 * The single went to #4 in the national Oricon chart in Japan in 2002, per sources here (Oricon) and here (news tabloid). As for other coverage, most of it is probably on paper for a song from 2002 in Japan. Keeping or marking as r with possibilities both seem fine to me. The reference to the producer can be verified by Sony Music itself. Dekimasu よ! 04:13, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per Dekimasu.  Ss  112   00:39, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Redirect to the appropriate album or discography. Not every charting song needs an article. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:18, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Life Is...: per above. Fails GNG and NSONG.  // Timothy :: talk  02:14, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
