 * Comment - A rap song about Squidward. Wow. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 09:20, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cupcakke, while it doesn't at first glance seem particularly notable, there's coverage in Rolling Stone MTV news, meaning it's worth mentioning. However, neither article is very in-depth, and probably spend more time talking about Cupcakke herself and her hospitalization. There isn't much potential to expand the song's article, so it makes sense to redirect to her article where the song is A) placed in context and B) given essentially as much information as the article does now. There's an argument to be made for WP:NSINGLE just looking at the headlines in the articles; however, IMO this is a case where "articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album" applies (and there's nothing that can be merged).

 * Weak keep or merge to Cupcakke. Based upon rationale and the additional sources presented by, I think there's barely enough written about the song to merit a stand alone article, though I still don't think it will ever grow much beyond stub or start-class. I also feel that none of the sourcing is particularly in-depth, so it's still somewhat of a borderline case imo. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 19:11, 29 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep: Rolling Stone, MTV News and Billboard have all covered the song. Here's another piece from MTV News which uses the song as a commentary on the singer's "work ethic and commitment to risque subject matters." The pieces are short but are specifically about the song. There is currently sourced content in this article that is not in the Cupcakke article, and it doesn't look like there's much of a place for it there. I don't know why Eddie891 is looking at an article with five independent sources and saying "there's nothing that can be merged." — Toughpigs (talk) 18:26, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * comment well I also don't see how "The song was originally planned to be called "Pinocchio Nose" but she changed the character to Squidward when she discovered that Pinocchio is a child" is encyclopedic Cornerstonepicker (talk) 01:22, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Cornerstonepicker, that goes for the History of the song and the background, it's to give context and content to the reader of the name of the song, I know it does not sound the best, but it's the history -- Thegooduser  Life Begins With a Smile :)  🍁 01:35, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Cornerstonepicker: I agree with you that it's silly, but there are a lot of silly things in the world, and when those things are backed up by reliable sources, they can end up in the encyclopedia. Check out WP:UNENCYC and WP:IDONTLIKEIT for more information. — Toughpigs (talk) 03:01, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The thing with this and all her other songs with articles is that they do receive the attention of writers in music blogs, but never appear on big music sites like BB or RS, nor they enter any type of official chart. Meets one criteria but fails all the others. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 22:08, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * "BB or RS" means Billboard and Rolling Stone? — Toughpigs (talk) 22:52, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, nor any other in that standard. only niche music blogs. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 02:24, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I would like to draw your attention to the Billboard and Rolling Stone coverage already mentioned above. — Toughpigs (talk) 03:12, 29 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep per, and also WP:NMUSIC and WP:NSINGLE states, for independent sources, which are cited in the article. -- Thegooduser  Life Begins With a Smile :)  🍁 23:55, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per Toughpigs. With independent sources indicated above, the article is good enough to pass WP:NSINGLE. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:33, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep since the single has received coverage from third-party, reliable sources. Here are some additional sources, from Paper, Nylon, another Nylon one, XXL, Consequence of Sound, another Consequence of Sound one, and Paste. Aoba47 (talk) 18:53, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Coverage from The Fader, Billboard and MTV News is enough for me.—NØ 12:22, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
