Mobile (song)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:NSONG. Was only released as a radio airplay single in a country other than album's origin. Poorly sourced (includes one fansite), holds no other significant notability other than it existed.  ~ [ Scott M. Howard  ] ~ [  Talk  ]:[  Contribs  ] ~  23:43, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Avril Lavine. This article fails WP:Notability (music), specifically:
 * "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song. Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside, a separate article on a song 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. If the artist associated with the work does not have an article, or if the artist's article has already been deleted, an article about a musical recording that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant is eligible for speedy deletion under criterion A9."
 * There is nothing special or significant about this song, therefore it does not warrant its own page. Epass (talk) 00:22, 7 January 2011 (UTC)


 * This single has in a chart in New Zeland. And there are a clip video. -- Vitor Mazuco  Talk! 12:15, 7 January 2011 (UTC)


 * The line of WP:Music that is mainly referring to is this one: Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article. Although it did make it onto the Australian charts, I do not think that there is "enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article" for this song.

 * One foreign chart ranking, to me, does not define the song as having been "significantly charted".  ~ [ Scott M. Howard  ] ~ [  Talk  ]:[  Contribs  ] ~  01:07, 8 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect, I find it funny that Victor Maxzuco considers a fan-made leaked video clip notable? YouTube is full of thousands of video clips, made by fans, for songs which did not receive an official music video. Not only in the information here not detailed, it is sourced from a fansite and frankly such information could be merged to the parent album. Charting aside songs need to receive independent coverage. --  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  13:34, 8 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep, this single is notable, all singles relased by Avril did a big sucess in the world. -- Vitor Mazuco  Talk! 18:19, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The song may have been "successful", but it is not "notable".  ~ [ Scott M. Howard  ] ~ [  Talk  ]:[  Contribs  ] ~  01:39, 9 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - I've just improved the article about as good as it can get with the information provided in an attempt to be sure it should be deleted, but it still seems to fail WP:NSONGS. The song has been used in movies, but its only indication of notability appears to be the fact that it charted in New Zealand--which I don't interpret as significant.  ~ [  Scott M.
