Merge suggestion
editContains unreliable source(s), does not meet WP:NSONG, did not chart. Content can incorporated into The College Dropout article, where the song is barely mentioned. (Merge discussion opened by request on behalf of 64.26.97.61 --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 18:32, 1 November 2018 (UTC))
- Support I stated my case below, any further information please visit Notability (music). MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:42, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
1) "Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability. If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created." → one review by Spin is not multiples.
2) "Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." → I don't see how can anyone expand this article.
3) "Has won one or more significant awards or honors, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award. Has been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups." → Once more this is not the case.
- Support while it's a common misconception that charts and awards have anything to do with whether a song warrants an article per WP:NSONGS (it actually only says they might suggest one could find good sources on them), the only credible working source outside of artist commentary (which would be self-promotion) or album reviews discussing this track is one Spin piece. That alone isn't enough. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:51, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
