Spitfire (Infected Mushroom song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I am creating this nomination on behalf of an IP editor who posted the following text at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion:


 * None of the sources in this article are reliable; some of these sources fall under WP:BLOGS. Fails WP:NSONG as a song that never charted. 99.203.30.163 (talk) 17:33, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

My participation here is purely to assist the IP editor who thought this article should be taken to AfD; I take no position for or against the deletion itself. RL0919 (talk) 21:39, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. GermanJoe (talk) 22:13, 27 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete. Although some of the sources are usable, there are a minimal amount of them, with one being in Russian and one from Twitter. If the article had around 7 to 10 at minimum, it would be fine (as long as those sources are similar to EDM Sauce, Dancing Astronaut or Your EDM, which are usable) but because the song got so little coverage, it doesn’t have enough references to have an article.

 * Keep has three reviews, Russian or any other language sources are acceptable for WP:GNG, so there is enough coverage for a stand alone article, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 13:09, 28 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete The reviews are very short and quite promotional. Not even close to the significant coverage required to justify a standalone article for the single. AIRcorn (talk) 21:36, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * , Just because a review's positive doesn't make it promotional, per se... or do you mean they're fake reviews that aren't actually independent? (bias disclaimer: I like the track and artist) —&#123;&#123;u&#124;Goldenshimmer&#125;&#125;｜✝️｜they/their｜😹｜T/C｜☮️｜John 15:12｜🍂 15:17, 29 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I think it is more a symptom of being a short review that doesn't go into much depth about the song. These (all from different reviews) don't help the tone either:
 * Without futher ado, I give you Cats on Mushrooms aka Spitfire.
 * You can experience the journey of “Spitfire” for yourself, available on Spotify and Soundcloud now.
 * In the meantime, listen to “Spitfire” and download the track below
 * Re-looking at these reviews many seem to be more about Monstrcat signing them than the band or song itself. AIRcorn (talk) 15:26, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Aha, those quotations sound to my ear like the good old "we need an article, so let's just post a link to something else with a couple sentences of fluff!" style of journalism, LOL... -_-; —&#123;&#123;u&#124;Goldenshimmer&#125;&#125;｜✝️｜they/their｜😹｜T/C｜☮️｜John 15:12｜🍂 03:04, 30 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete There is a difference between a proper review and a rehash of a news release. These do not constitute significant coverage. --Bejnar (talk) 03:06, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
