Tonight (Jonas Brothers song)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Questioned redirect. The reason I'm putting this up for deletion is because it's a stub-length article about a barely notable song that won't grow UNLESS it is released as a single. The song, along with many others, was released as an album preview song on iTunes, and charted high based solely on high digital sales, then quickly dropped off. I'm fine for this article existing if it was released as a single, but as of right now, it (and the other pre-released songs) are comparable to the High School Musical songs, which were all merged. I'm not necessarily arguing against notability necessarily (because that is debatable), but as per WP:NSONGS, a separate article is only appropriate on a song when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album. Please note that the info is already merged in A Little Bit Longer, and Tonight (Jonas Brothers song) is an unlikely search term. SKS2K6 (talk) 15:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Keep. I don't think being released as a single is a criteria. "Tonight"'s significant chart achievement is impressive. A top 10 debut without any radio promotion (beyond Radio Disney)? In this digital download era, it is possible for a track to reach #1 without an official single release (however unlikely). I'd argue that "Tonight" is more notable than "Lovebug", which as a single has had little chart impact. There is much more to this article than a majority of SONG STUBS (just look at some of those Van Halen song articles - a big name group with songs that only have two lines of text). Finally, I added some sourced comments from reviews of the song to add some critical reception for it. --Wolfer68 (talk) 18:36, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Merge Yet another of the millions of the "infobox plus chart table" stubs. These should generally be merged back to their parent album articles, which is exactly what WP:NSONGS tells us to do.&mdash;Kww(talk) 22:18, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
