Does not pass

WP:CRYSTAL. Furthermore, the article does not assert why it is notable in the the first place. --Prosperosity (talk) 08:27, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply

Keep: Prosperosity is incorrect that the article does not pass notability. I have provided 7 independent sources which mention the release (outside of those verifying that it exists) and discuss the notability of the two songs within Japan. It seems that there is a fatal flaw in
WP:NSONGS that it explicitly forbids articles on verifiable future releases of singles (which are more like EPs in the Japanese music industry).—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 08:38, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply

All of those sources just simply discuss that the songs exist, and how they are associated with a movie and a marketing campaign. None of them discuss the notability of the song in any way applicable to
WP:NSONGS. --Prosperosity (talk) 08:46, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply

Two of the sources (one Japanese, the other an English translation) do more than that. They describe how the artist feels about one of the songs (which is available in a particular format in the Japanese market) and other things that go beyond "hey, buy this CD in March". If the article passes
WP:NSONGS.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 08:52, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply

There's a reason
WP:NSONGS exists, along with all the other notability guidelines
; it has come to a general consensus that certain topics need to establish notability in a different way to a general article (or else these guidelines wouldn't exist).

That an artist has thoughts about her songs isn't a criterion for a song being notable, and the "other things" you mention are just tour dates and what's on the added DVD, or things that aren't to do with the release at all. --Prosperosity (talk) 09:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, now there's more background on the creation of one of the songs as well as its now clearly supported notability as it has been stated she will be performing it live and that performance will be broadcast live via FM radio.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 09:22, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
While I know that userfy is not a valid AfD comment, just move it to the userspace. This will be eligible for an article once better sources are provided and reviews are available. Keegan (talk) 08:51, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of excellent sources provided. The article is perfectly fine where it is in the article space and need not be removed from it for any reason.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 09:17, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
