 * Speedy Keep - the song has charted and, therefore, passes WP:NSONG. SplashScreen (talk) 11:40, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * comment To meet WP:NSONG, the song article need to be more than a stub, and describe at length details about the song and it's effect. Being notable is not enough for a standalone article for a song, without enough material to devote to a single page, it should be deleted or merged to the album. As far as charting goes, it is required to have charted on a national or significant music chart. For Belgium this would be Ultratop 50 singles, not the low 40's or 60's on UltraTip("Tipparade" ).

 * Keep: Song has charted. It does not matter what chart that is. It will also be officially released in the greater music markets in 2 weeks, so it does not make sense to get rid of this article in any form now. It passes WP:GNG anyway.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 19:19, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment I disagree, the Ultratip chart is not the "National" or significant chart for Belgium, the Ultratop is. While this single could warrant a standalone page at a later date. If not deletion, a merge would make more sense following WP:NSONG using WP:CHARTS to satisfy WP:IRS.Newmanoconnor (talk) 19:40, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The matter still stands that Only the Horses has a decent number of third-party reliable sources which means it passes WP:GNG.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 19:42, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Significant coverage for the song at MTV and NME .  Gongshow  Talk 23:18, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Seems like standard coverage to me from music sites, kinda like sports coverage. But it's something...Newmanoconnor (talk) 04:23, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Charting is not the only metric we should use to determine song notability.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 04:33, 30 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. Apart from comments not listed as votes, this appears to be a Keep Consensus. That might even make this a candidate for Non-Admin Closure. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 08:34, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
