• Keep. References are
  WP:RS, and confirm the rumors. (Possibly the article should be rewritten so that a reader will better recognize that this article isn't itself just scuttle-butt.) —SlamDiego_←T 08:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

  • The only reliable source among the references is this, which doesn't confirm anything about the song. --Amalthea^Talk 14:00, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep per above Delete. But lets wait and see if she performs it at the VMA's tomorrow before we make a decision. TheLeftorium 14:49, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She didn't perform so I'm changing my vote to delete. TheLeftorium 14:08, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Hold on a decision until after the broadcast on Sunday (which falls well within the usual time frame of AFD considerations anyway); if she performs the song, then that combined with the sources gives this article viability. If it is not performed, there is still sufficient sourcing here that
  WP:BLP is satisfied, but I would lean towards it being merged into the article on the singer. 23skidoo (talk) 22:30, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

  • According to E! Online, she is not performing at the VMAs: [1]. Corvus cornix_talk 22:37, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per above. Nothing is incorrect, all statements have been sourced.UKWiki (talk) 20:28, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. If kept, should be redirected to Underground (Britney Spears song), per naming convention. tomasz. 10:21, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Page move has already been performed. --Amalthea^Talk 13:46, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - all rumors. Article titled incorrectly also. - eo (talk) 18:51, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This really is a non-article. There is fuzz about a leaked dance video which one of the linked sources says doesn't even feature the song in discussion. Then there is speculation that she might perform that song at the MTV-MA. Then there is information that she didn't. OK ... that leaves us with "Lady Gaga confirmed in early August 2008 that she had written a song titled "Underground" for Britney's upcoming studio album" and "Its lyrics feature racy content, backed with breathy vocals and an up-tempo beat", both statements unsourced, which doesn't even leave anything that can be merged into her article or her discography. To be technical, it fails
  WP:MUSIC. --Amalthea^Talk 14:00, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply
