There is only one source, MTV, talking about the song directly the rest is either about the remix or album reviews, one doesn't establish notability since there needs to be multiple. It has not won one or more significant awards or honors, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury...or was independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups. Therefore it doesn't pass WP:NS. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 02:51, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I note that this article is a WP:GA. Could a non-notable article have gotten far enough to become a GA? Is not the fact that it is GA proof enough of its notability? There were clearly enough sources to write a GA. I also would find it extremely demoralizing to delete a good article. Perhaps that's a bad argument, but if so then its time to have village pump discussion about it. Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 04:46, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- @CaptainEek:. GA criteria do not mention notability. Enough sources to write an article does not mean enough independent sources with significant coverage to demonstrate notability. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 17:47, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is currently a discussion regarding the recent slew of AfDs by this nominator at WT:SONGS#Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whip It (Nicki Minaj song). —Ojorojo (talk) 18:27, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am not a fan of deleting Good Articles before reassessment, nor do I think the GA review of this rather short music article demonstrated how it was Good. In looking at the sources it seems they are almost exclusively focused on Yeezus the album rather than Send It Up the song, so for that reason I vote to Merge. ⌚️ (talk) 19:56, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:GA, heaps of refs. Doctorhawkes (talk) 10:40, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there are plenty of sources. "Significant coverage" does not have to be primarily about a song, as long as the artist and his album and/or the tour are discussed in context. FWIW, not only am I not a fan, I don't like Kanye West, nor his wife, nor his music. Based on the discussion linked by Ojorojo, "charting" confers automatic notability only for "Top 10" songs on Billboard, and "supplemental" sources count more for notability per WP:NSONG. Songs that are not singles are not automatically deleted, but are sometimes merged. Am I right? Merge if necessary. Bearian (talk) 21:10, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per reasons above – zmbro _(talk) 04:06, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
