The Charladies' Ball

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lacking in notability. Has been tagged as such since 2008! In all the time we've had the article it has attracted the addition of almost no content, and most of what has been added was subsequently pruned again. There's simply nothing to say about this because reliable sources do not cover it in sufficient depth; thus, it is not notable. Madness Darkness 00:33, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose. The article has been on Wikipedia for more than a decade, and it has not been deleted for non-notability thus far. Instead of deleting the article, why not take it upon yourself to improve it? Biglulu (talk) 08:19, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: The age of the article has nothing to do with whether it should be kept or deleted. Toddst1 (talk) 16:21, 31 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - No instances of WP:SIGCOV seen in my WP:BEFORE. No content to merge. FOARP (talk) 13:44, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I've been trying to improve this article for a while. It appears to be popular but utterly lacking any in-depth coverage that I've been able to use. Toddst1 (talk) 16:21, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - - do you think that it might be worthwhile to redirect to Jimmy O'Dea, and just include any relevant info on that page? It doesn't seem to be notable enough to support an article. I have found some passing references to it in archival newspapers from my paid subscription at Newspapers.com, but nothing is really enough comprehensive detail to qualify as WP:SIGCOV. But I think people might search for the term so a redirect would be useful. Michepman (talk) 00:24, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Quite a few folks have recorded it. I'm not sure O'dea has any particular claim to the song.  I just can't find anything useful in terms of coverage.  Toddst1 (talk) 00:26, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * -- True. I guess I misunderstood what the article was saying. O'dea's article does mention the song though. Michepman (talk) 01:43, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Suggestion - is there a version of WikiQuotes or Wiktionary that is for songs? It occurs to me that this might just not be a Wikipedia topic but it could be OK for another website under the Wikipedia umbrella. Michepman (talk) 01:44, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
