[edit] Folk Guy's Always with You

Folk Guy's Always with You (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable song/YouTube video. Fails WP:RS. Googling only yields 206 hits and no news articles. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 21:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• -- 282,000 google hits for "福佳始終有你" -- make sure you understand that this is a translated article from chinese. This song was actually on 5 newspapers, 3 radio programs (including CRHK, RTHK, and MyRadio), and 2 TV programs (including RTHK TV and cable TV). — Raysonho 22:00, 12 January 2008

• -- 607,000 google.com.hk[1] hits for "福佳始終有你" --219.78.190.124 (talk) 15:15, 13 January 2008 (UTC) — 219.78.190.124 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. .

• Delete: no assertion of notability per WP:MUSIC. Mh29255 (talk) 06:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Fewer than 25 ghits outside of Wikipedia, YouTube, and blogs. Does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (music) guideline. — Athaenara ✉ 06:33, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep First of all, we need to understand that this is an article translated from Chinese. So google searching the English name does not reflect the actual popularity of this song. Second, and the most important point is, this is not purely an article about the song, but also the impact of this song to the Hong Kong Culture. It was covered by local media in HK. So I don't believe we should use the guidelines from WP:MUSIC. — Raysonho 15:36 , 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. After reading your post, I checked other notability guidelines including Wikipedia:Notability (web). The fact that the song was mentioned in one Slate article does not seem to qualify it for inclusion in this English language Wikipedia, keeping in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not Wikinews (see also WP:NOT#NEWS). — Athaenara ✉ 23:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• The song was mentioned in at least 9 local chinese media. As I said before, this article was translated from Chinese, and the main purpose is to help others to understand the culture of HK. — Raysonho 23:08, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• Perhaps it would then be best for what encyclopedic information there is in the song article to be included in whichever Hong Kong culture/politics article is most appropriate. — Athaenara ✉ 00:52, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. Also, the Slate article's attribution to "a Hong Kong high-school kid and Chinese-language blogger who calls himself Lam Kay" contradicts the attribution to "the collaborative work by a group of users on Internet forums" in the Wikipedia article. — Athaenara ✉ 23:08, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
