Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Songs from the album Giving You the Best That I Got


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. If there were a consensus not to have an article, the result would probably be a merge/redirect to the album. Whether that should be done can be done on the article talkpage, so there is no need for the AFD to remain open. Sjakkalle (Check!)  19:26, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Songs from the album Giving You the Best That I Got

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This song hit the charts at the time of its release. However, that's all it happened, or so it did. I read that a demo was tried by another artist, but the information would be too short to help the article hold on any longer. I added information to the parent article, Giving You the Best That I Got (album).

I am also nominating the following related page for the same reasons as above: Nonetheless, I've not found a demo attempt on the nearest above song. George Ho (talk) 04:09, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * No reason for such articles to be deleted. Redirects will suffice but I am indifferent to whether these are redirected or kept. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 15:15, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect as there's contents but it's still questionable for its own article. SwisterTwister   talk  05:14, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Just Because (Anita Baker song). As indicated in the article, this song was a top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart and a #1 hit on the R&B chart. Because of the latter, it received coverage in The Billboard Book of Number One Rhythm & Blues Hits. I have no opinion as to Lead Me Into Love except that it would be preferable to redirect it rather than delete it. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:57, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * @Metropolitan90: Even when it was a moderate hit in its days, the "Just Because" page would still be too small to hold such valuable information, like charts and production. Also, the page fails to meet WP:NSONGS standards. --George Ho (talk) 21:47, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you mean by "too small" to hold such valuable information. If you mean that the article doesn't contain enough content to justify being kept as a separate article, I have already mentioned a book above which, I understand, contains additional information about this recording which could be included in the article. If you mean something else, I'm not sure what that is. I've also added another source to the article as well. Regarding WP:NSONGS, "Just Because" apparently has at least one "non-trivial published work" which can be cited; it was ranked on national or significant music or sales charts; and it was part of an album that won a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female for 1989 (the title track, "Giving You the Best That I Got", had won the same award for 1988). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:15, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * @Metropolitan90: Would adding info based on that source help make the article stronger much? Compare this to Giving You the Best That I Got (album), which is also small. George Ho (talk) 23:25, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, it certainly wouldn't hurt. I haven't seen the book itself (although I am familiar with its format), nor is enough text visible on Google Books to use it here. But the book is owned by numerous libraries (some of which are in the city where I live), so it should be possible to access it. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:35, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
