This article does not demonstrate that "Six or Seven Times" has been "the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." It has only one source -- Catalog of Copyright Entries. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:19, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Song written by an iconic composer with recorded versions by at least two American Jazz icons. My google search finds the Calloway version of the song was in the Billboard charts (pre-“Top 40” era) for multiple weeks in 1931, peaking at #14. While it is true this article may not show significant evidence of “multiple, non-trivial, published works…etc…,” per our normal criteria (after all, were talking 1931 here) it’s worth remembering that WP guidelines are just that: guidelines. They are not rules meant to be seen as absolute, unbending standards. There is flexibility in determining a topic’s encyclopedic value, subject to these debates. My argument is that a wiki page for this song is of benefit to, say, someone doing deep background research on the discographies of two notable recording artists.

• Keep - I am finding several books on Google Bools alone covering this song at least to some extent, such as [1], [2], [3]], [4] and [5]. It seems extremely likely that alot more was written about it over the past 85 years that is not easily accessible. Rlendog (talk) 21:20, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per above sources and comments.
