Take a Whiff on Me

This article meshes a list of recording artists as coverage for a topic that is a song. This topic is not covered significantly in multiple reliable sources, therefore it fails WP:NALBUMS and WP:NSONGS. Steve Quinn (talk) 18:47, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Widely recorded ny multiple notable artists, and sufficient coverage exists:, , , , . --Michig (talk) 06:39, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Strong Keep. One of the most notable songs about cocaine or illicit drugs in general and recorded by Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, The Byrds, Jerry Garcia, Old Crow Medicine Show, etc. It needs a much better introduction though. --BenStein69 (talk) 04:40, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep as per the reliable sources identified by Michig that enable WP:GNG to be passed. Atlantic306 (talk) 18:53, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep for the reasons already stated above. Aoba47 (talk) 21:57, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per pretty much all of the above. I particularly remember nontrivial print coverage of the song c.1970 after the Byrds used their recording and live performances of the song for some well-earned mockery of Spiro Agnew. It's hard to find such coverage online nearly 50 years later, but here's a trace of it. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006.
