If Need Be

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No evidence of notability, failed WP:NSONG. All the sources provided are either associated with the artist, or trivial (short announcements, simple listings, discogs, musicbrainz, etc.) or mentioned as part of an album which does not confer notability for the song. There is no significant independent coverage of the song. Delete or redirect to the album Breaking the World. Hzh (talk) 18:51, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails NSONG. Album also seems to fail NALBUM, and I don't think "Threatin" meets NMUSICIAN either. These articles were all created by a SPA (they made exactly enough edits to become auto-confirmed then only edited articles relating to this person) with a likely COI (see repeated use of "the famous musician Threatin" and other PR language in the creator's edits).

Keep No COI. Saw a need for the article and fulfilled it. “PR language” not intended and was never included in article. Recent focus on particular artist because I saw the need for the articles & Was trying to be thorough. Passes WP:NALBUM. Meets criteria 1, 6, and 7 for Recordings. Physical release of single with B-sides indicated the need for its own article. But, understandably could be redirected to album page or artist page LisaGolding (talk) 21:59, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NALBUM is irrelevant for discussion on article about a song, which is judged independent of the album. Please refer to WP:NSONG. Hzh (talk) 22:44, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: fails WP:NSONG. Sources are entirely primary (artist or record company's own websites), passing mentions in interviews where Threatin speaks about his own songs (also primary sources) or user-generated content (Discogs, iMDB). Richard3120 (talk) 00:36, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NSONG. Sources provided are not independent and lack depth. They are merely associated with the article and recording company. I suggest replacing the page with a redirect to the album Breaking the World.desmay (talk) 15:46, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Note WP:EXIST; there is evidence that the song exists and was released as a single but that does not justify a WP article. The release has received practically no reliable or significant mentions in the music press. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:54, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
