My Everything (Owl City song)

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

Does not seem to meet WP:Music - the articles cited are either not reliable sources, are focused on the overall album, not the individual song, or do not constitute in-depth coverage. Even though it is a single, it seems like this should simply be merged into/redirect to the album page. Nerd1a4i (they/them) (talk) 18:40, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, I hope you don't mind if I ask but which sources do you consider no reliable? Shout4Serenity (talk) 19:17, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Well in order: the first source is not in-depth coverage; the second is mostly an interview (primary source) and not focused on the song but instead the singer; the third source is a random YouTube video that does not seem to be something one would count as a reliable source; the fourth is again an interview with the same problems as the second source; the fifth is just referencing musicstax which does not show notability; the sixth is again for sheet music/technical question/does not show notability; the seventh is not in-depth coverage/is just a boilerplate notice of the video being released (similar problems to the first source); the eighth has similar problems to the fifth/sixth; the ninth is the only source that seems reliable and has actual in-depth coverage...but it's focused on the album not the song itself (the song gets half a line of mention). So none of the sources show the notability of the song as required in WP:Music. Nerd1a4i (they/them) (talk) 01:07, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thank you. Shout4Serenity (talk) 19:03, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge with and redirect to Mobile Orchestra. The content of this article is adequately sourced and I would hate to see it deleted, but unfortunately the topic does not meet our notability standards. However, WP:NSONG also says that "Songs that do not rise to notability for an independent article should redirect to another relevant article, such as ... a prominent album". Matt's talk 09:17, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Mobile Orchestra/Move to draftspace. Redirect to Mobile Orchestra per WP:NSONG, but I would also say move it back to a draftspace so improvements can be made. Shout4Serenity (talk) 19:06, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Stereogum, Houstoon Chronicle, Star Tribune all appear to show a more than trivial interest in this particular track. Jclemens (talk) 21:53, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I would vote to keep it. I just ran across it today when looking for information on the song. It was very useful. 2601:2C0:4700:9400:7DBA:33C0:B52A:22CC (talk) 00:02, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Jclemens. SIGCOV seems to be fulfilled but I'm uncertain if it's really worth breaking this song out separately from the album. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:10, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep per Jclemens. WP:SIGCOV is met by the sources they found, and I don't think there's any issue with having this separate from the album article. JML1148 (talk &#124; contribs) 07:11, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
