It lacks notability 12345abcxyz20082009 (talk) 13:24, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Absolute Giblets. The song doesn't lack notability, nor does the artist. I think you need to expand this to say WHY you don't think this song is notable. It's referenced on the net, and it's received national airplay on one or more major radio stations in the UK (inc. BBC Radio 1). I think you're simply testing the AFD process :) Although I have to "assume good faith!". Thor Malmjursson (talk) 13:34, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not testing anything! I'm not saying the artist lacks notability, just this song. All songs on the album have been reviewed when the album was, so, yes, they all have references on the internet (btw, this article doesn't cite any sources); the thing is, a song is only notable to have its own article when it charted or made media impact. This song hasn't done either. It isn't uncommon for non-single songs to be heard on radio.--12345abcxyz20082009 (talk) 14:04, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Alright, Still, the album that this song was a bonus track on, as it would be a useful redirect. The song itself is NN. Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 03:00, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete (redirecting to the album would be ok) Nothing I can find on Google would establish notability and the article itself provides no sources at all. Rusty Cashman (talk) 00:11, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - It is, as User:Iceflow pointed out, a notable song receiving national airplay from a notable artist. Nutiketaiel (talk) 16:56, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The notability of the artist doesn't matter, and, as I said before, it is not uncommon for songs which are not released as singles to be played on radio. So, please argue the notability of the song; "it is notable" is not an argument. In fact, a song is only notable if it has either made cultural impact or charted somewhere. This song has done neither. Though, I think I just might change my mind about the deletion after seeing the AfDs for A Place With No Name; this song meets the general notability guideline too and has been cited almost all of the times Allen was interviewed about her beginnings in the music industry. Now I don't know what to think anymore. I change my vote to weak delete.--12345abcxyz20082009 (talk) 18:54, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
