Shut Up and Dance (Walk the Moon song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable, does not meet WP:NSONG. That guideline specifically says that simply being listed in rankings is not sufficient to demonstrate notability; there must be substantial coverage in independent sources. Bringing to AFD because it doesn't qualify for speedy deletion (the list of rankings is arguably a claim to notability, even if it's not a good one) and PROD was removed. r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 18:28, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong keep: Notable as charting in the United States in a multiple of genre charts like Adult Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs, Alternative Songs as Top 10 as well as the Hot 100 at number 75. Also charting internationally in Sweden and the Netherlands. As for lack of references, I have now included five media references and reviews of the song. Please refer to amendments included on the page. werldwayd (talk) 13:44, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * As I explained above, WP:NSONG (Wikipedia's guideline on what makes songs count as notable or not) specifically says that charting alone is not sufficient to indicate notability. r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 22:43, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep: Due to the sources recently added to the article, as well as this and this. These should be significant enough. Kokoro20 (talk) 15:28, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: Notable song that has charted in different countries. This article only started recently, therefore it is stubbed. Some songs that are not even charted can be featured articles, so why not? Nahnah4 (talk | contribs | guestbook) 08:37, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
