Fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for singles. Neelix (talk) 15:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep notable band, very notable guest vocalist, notable remixers. Not sure what the problem here is. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:21, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as nominator - Notability is not inherited. As stated in the applicable guidelines, "most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article." This single has not "received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources" as Wikipedia:Notability requires. Like most singles by notable bands, this one is not sufficiently notable for an independent article. Neelix (talk) 16:12, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I agree with the nominator. I could barely find two sources for this song, outside of lyric links and music vidoes, and those two sources were little known blogs and local newspapers that mention the song in passing, which is not sufficient for notability. — Parent5446 ☯ (msg email) 01:11, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Legend of the Black Shawarma. Not enough info available for stand-alone article and redirects are cheap. Location (talk) 04:08, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
