[edit] Champion (song)

Champion (song) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Deletion nomination This is a non-notable song. Article shows no evidence that this song has any independant notability besides the artist that recorded it, the album it appears on, and the song it samples (incorrectly identified, I might add. The song by Steely Dan is "Kid Charlemagne"). Since this song lacks any independant notability, the article should be either deleted or redirected to the artist who performs it or album it appears on.

• Delete Definitely not notable by itself. If it was a single, it would be a different story. Spellcast 06:51, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

It describes the song. What's the problem? —Preceding unsigned comment added by HLyford11 (talk • contribs) 07:15, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Please read WP:N and WP:MUSIC. Simply because something exists does not mean that it deserves an article at Wikipedia. I exist. I certainly haven't done anything to warrent an article. The princple is that an article needs to be about something that has recieved non-trivial coverage in reliable sources. This song does not appear to have received that coverage. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 03:56, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Nationally charted single (#94 Pop 100)[1] so passes WP:MUSIC#Songs. dissolve^talk 05:32, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

• Withdraw Nomination Article needs expansion, but the fact that it charted seems to bring it just above notability levels. BARELY. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 01:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Although you withdrew this nomination, I still think it should continue. The song still has no potential to expand. It can easily be mentioned in the album. Spellcast 08:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
