[edit] Gypsy Woman (Hilary Duff song)

Not released as a single or not notable in any other way than an album track, and this information can probably be merged into the Dignity article. Surfer-boy94 (talk) 06:53, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. The song has been the subject of media coverage independent of the album, and the article includes information about this. I didn't reference every source that discusses the song in this way, but if for any reason the sources already present in the article don't satisfy Wikipedia:Notability—"significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject"—there are more available via, for example, LexisNexis. The article's content was split from Dignity (album) because the information about it in that article was becoming too specific to the song to be appropriate for inclusion in an album article. The Dignity article is substantially longer now than it was when the "Gypsy Woman" article and Dignity (Hilary Duff song) were split off from it. Also, Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Albums and songs states, "A separate [song] article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; permanent stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." I'm not sure how "reasonably detailed" is defined, but I'm pretty certain that the article isn't a stub. In any case, AFD is for proposals for deletion, not merging—if you think the article should be merged somewhere, please follow the instructions at Help:Merging and moving pages#Proposing a merger.

  • Delete Simple searches do not yield enough information other than lyrics. I have found no specific coverage of the song that is notable either.Metal Head (talk) 15:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge The song is metioned in multiple reliable sources, though a little trivial it probably qualifies as notable though i can't see why it can't be included in the main album article for neatness. --neonwhite user page talk 16:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge Media coverage is primarily around a single incident, a rumor that turned out to be false. If this was a charted single or if the song was otherwise notable then I could support a Keep. -- RoninBK T C 23:22, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep : per Extraordinary Machine. Europe22 (talk) 11:12, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
