- Weak keep - I'm considering a "wait and see" opinion based solely on the fact that Katy's other single (which is ALSO from this unconfirmed album) charted very well. On a side note, the Katy B article is in need of some serious expansion. Very little information there for an artist with multiple charted songs. False-notability? ~ [ Scott M.

no independent coverageno evidence given in article of independent coverage in reliable sources besides charting. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:10, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]- What are you on about?! There's loads of coverage. It's charted at number 4 in a country's national chart so is definitely notable per WP:NSONGS.

- From WP:NSONGS - "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate 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."--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:23, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:19, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply- That doesn't really explain why you think it should be deleted...? You are agreeing that it is notable then as it has "been ranked on national or significant music charts". Are you saying that you think it is unlikely ever to grow beyond a stub and so it should be merged into the Katy B article?! Mhiji (talk) 01:23, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep song is #4 on a major chart, which is almost unquestionably within the threshhold of WP:NSONGS. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 02:24, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
