Only You (112 song)

The article falls short of notability for singles by a substantial margin from all appearances. Tyrenon (talk) 21:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - Released single by a very popular group and, I don't know what the source is on this (probably Billboard Magazine), but the 112_(album) article indicates this song did chart, reaching #1 on Billboard Magazine's Hot Dance Singles Sales. --Oakshade (talk) 03:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Oakshade. The article needs some expansion, however. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 03:16, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as a non-plausible redirect term, fails to meet the criteria per WP:MUSIC. While it has charted, there is not "enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article". This is very unlikely to grow beyond a stub, and there is already a sourced mention in the album article, so there is nothing to merge.   Esradekan Gibb    "Klat" 11:00, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Of course there's more potential content for a "reasonably detailed article". What was the writing process?  Where did they record it?  How were the sessions?  Did they record several versions or just one?  What was the process in getting Notorious B.I.G. to perform on the track?  How was he during the recordings?  What were the gross sales?  What charts was it on?  How long did it chart on each of them?  Does 112 still perform it live?  How are the live performances different from the studio track?--Oakshade (talk) 18:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sweet as. If you can supply reliable, third-party, sources to back all of that up, I'll be more than happy to change my vote.   Esradekan Gibb    "Klat" 02:22, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has no deadline. I currently don't have the time nor inclination to research and write an entire in-depth article with sources just to please an impatient Wikipedia user who doesn't understand how a one-day old article of a #1 charted song can be expanded, which was my point. --Oakshade (talk) 02:33, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:N and WP:MUSIC. Was a major hit in the mid-1990s that received tons of airplay, and still receives airplay every now and then to this day. Shaliya waya (talk) 01:59, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Shaliya waya, notable song. feydey (talk) 11:08, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
