Play the Guitar

 * – ( View AfD View log )

newly released, non notable song, no references other than itunes. tried redirecting, it was reverted. fails song inclusion criteria. Gaijin42 (talk) 19:44, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect to Strange Clouds. I do understand why this was brought to AfD though, as new or inactive users indeed keep reverting the redirect.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 21:35, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

 * comment While the before citation is fair, in my defense, a google search on "Play the Guitar" is an insane amount of cruft to sort through. The coverage should have been added in the first place. Gaijin42 (talk) 15:28, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Done.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 21:43, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG, with significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Per WP:NSONGS, "a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article". In my view, that threshold is met by the references presented above.  Gongshow  Talk 20:42, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
