Wannabe (Get Loose Crew song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

These two songs, much a like the MC Shadow songs I listed yesterday, do not qualify for their own article. The #5 chart position on "Wannabe" is at an unrecognized chart per WP:CHART. The other song has no claim for notability at all. The sparse information contained in these two articles can easily be written into the album which they are on (Get Loose Crew). rayukk &#124; talk 18:50, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. No substantive claim of notability under WP:NSONGS, apart from charting on a non-notable chart that doesn't pass Record charts. Bearcat (talk) 19:38, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 01:44, 30 November 2015 (UTC) These songs do have Historical significance in Canadian Music and relevancy. The CHEER Music Pool Chart was reporting at a time when (which has link to verify its existence) this genre of music was being suppressed. It was a pioneer chart reporting rap/urban music in Canada in its infancy. The artists on the chart that surround MC Shadow are undisputable international music & entertainment icons. They are respected and notable pioneers in the US created music form. The fact that this Canadian artist in his teens was ranked alongside these artists that were already established is remarkable and 'encyclopeic' in spirit and in content! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oldschoolmc (talk • contribs) 02:21, 3 December 2015 (UTC) Get Loose Crew Song is also, significant to the Canadian Music Genre and the genre as the artists historic significance within Canada and Globally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oldschoolmc (talk • contribs) 02:26, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I think Maestro Fresh Wes, Dream Warriors, MCJ and Cool G and Devon, who all got onto actual wikinotable IFPI-certified charts, would be fascinated to hear that this "CHEER Music Pool Chart" (a private service of a membership organization for club DJs, not certified by any chart licensing agency or covered by any reliable sources besides itself) was the only chart a Canadian hip hop song could possibly have appeared on in that era. And what's "encyclopedic in spirit and in content" is reliable source coverage, of which exactly none has been shown here, not opinion-based assertions of how "remarkable" you personally think any unsourced accomplishment may have been. And if you think I'm being dismissive of the genre, you might want to check the edit history on Canadian hip hop to see who originally created it in the first place, and has been the single most frequent editor of it since. I'm fully aware of the barriers to mainstream attention that have often plagued Canadian hip hop, but it isn't Wikipedia's job to rectify that imbalance ourselves, if we have to lean on unreliable sources, assertions of private personal knowledge whose accuracy we have no way of verifying because they aren't sourced at all, and/or non-notable record charts to do it.

 * Keep, clear evidence of notability that obviously meets the relevant guidelines. Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 19:56, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
