ABC-DEF-GHI

Even though I love this song, article doesn`t establish notability in reliable sources as a google search doesn`t yield anything useful. If there`s something that makes these songs notable besides being on the show, I`ll withdraw as I love this song. Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 18:35, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. I can't find a lot of sources for this song -- although that may have something to do with the fact that its title is not prominent. (I never knew the proper title of the song before I saw the Wikipedia article about it.) In the song's favor are the fact that it seems to be reasonably notable as Sesame Street songs go -- having appeared on at least 14 different albums over the last four decades -- and the fact that this article has been on Wikipedia for over five years. I have made some improvements to the article since the AfD began. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:25, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering, but if it was in 14 albums, wouldn't the track listing list it as ABC-DEF-GHI, therefore making the title more widely-known? Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 21:00, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would help. But just from watching the original segment of the Sesame Street television show that featured this song, neither a child nor an adult would be likely to figure out the exact title. If you asked them the title of the song Big Bird sang in that segment, they would probably call it "Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", pronounced something like \æbkədεfgidʒəkəlmənapkwərstuvwəksəz\. They would have to see the album track listing to know the proper title. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:28, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, song by notable composer Joe Raposo. Apparently it was performed on Evening at Pops in 1971 (per Muppet Wikia, which isn't a reliable source, but I'm still looking). NawlinWiki (talk) 22:00, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep being on the show makes it notable enough. I'd say WP:Ignore is in order here, as sources cannot be found for something that almost no one would know how to refer to (and as it is notable, it's likely that somehow, sources will be found).

Keep highly notable, and as above, difficult to fit into notability criteria as they stand. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:04, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
