Fails WP:NSONG. Listing on Billboard is not sufficient, editorial discussion is required, and there needs to be enough discussed to warrant a reasonably detailed article. -MJH (talk) 22:13, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:NSONGS. Has charted on three billboard charts. Used in Champs Sports commercial. A simple google search turns up [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Which more then suffices. STATic message me! 22:46, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and speedy close. Nom is based on the condition of the article rather than the notability of its subject, which the nominator does not appear to have properly researched. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 23:14, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - All those references merely list the song, mention that it was performed, or that the artist is making a video. Notability per WP:NSONG requires substantial and repeated discussion about this particular track. Then you article needs to pick up enough details from those discussions for an actual article, no just the Billboard ranking. WP is not a marketing platform. At best, I suggest a merge the content to Based on a T.R.U. Story---MJH (talk) 23:28, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Has appeared on several Billboard charts, so passes the notability criteria. The article isn't in a great state, but that appears to be the only issue – it's still notable. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 16:53, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:NSONGS. The article is rather short, but its subject has charted on several Billboard charts; it became a top fifteen hit on two of them. Holiday56 (talk) 11:55, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
