Declined Speedy (or Contested Prod) &mdash; "non-notable. Only links are to MySpace profiles. Google search of song DOES give lyrics, though. More than a year without any references."   Vengeance is mine,  saith   the Prime  03:01, 14 Aug 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. I have to ask did the nominator even do a search before they put this up for AfD, like you're meant to I might add. The second sentence mentions a charting song, and a 10 second search at billboard.com confirms it . Meets WP:MUSIC.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 05:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * keep now why would anyone decline a speedy when the article says, "charted in the top forty?" Allmusic indicates adequate charting for notability. If an article lacks references, my suggestion would be to find/add them rather than bringing it here. There are other venues for article improvement. one could use maybe one of these books listed on Google Books. Significant coverage by third party writers about music.

 * Keep meets WP:MUSIC. My copy of Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits by Joel Whitburn confirms the song's Top 40 placement (and as does allmusic). I agree some work should be done to add some sources, but Afd is not cleanup. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 18:54, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
