The result was redirect to Buckwheat Boyz. The amount of plays of the song on a MySpace page does not determine the song's notability; someone could have accidentally pressed play on the song instead of another song. Spebi 05:20, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ice Cream and Cake

Ice Cream and Cake (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Song is not notable. Besides, it's reversed. The phrase is "cake and ice cream", not "ice cream and cake". BallPark2 (talk) 14:29, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy Redirect, notable song by Buckwheat Boyz so redirect to that. See - http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Ice+Cream+and+Cake%22+Buckwheat+boyz —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seriousspender (talk • contribs) 14:49, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment. Apparantly, it was deleted before Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ice cream and cake. BallPark2 (talk) 14:58, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

  It was deleted before because it contained a copyright violation and was seen as nonsense. Changed vote to speedy redirect.--Seriousspender (talk) 15:09, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Song seems to be notable as it has over 127000 plays on the group's myspace [1]. Page would be better if it linked to the song though. Skip1337 (talk) 15:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Redirect at best to Buckwheat Boyz, but even that article has no references but the band's own myspace page. Leaning toward delete all of them. Gatoclass (talk) 00:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect or, if possible, merge. The song is less notable then their song "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" and even that doesn't get its own article. — Balthazar ^(T|C) – 00:18, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
• A redirect would probably work, although I imagine that sources can be found to show its popularity. Believe it or not, this odd song, with lyrics like "Ice cream and cakey-cake" is a staple among young cheerleaders (elementary school age), often as a halftime show at kids' football games-- apparently because it's easy to dance to ("step step step slide" and waving of pom poms are the only moves) and because it's squeaky clean. The song makes no sense at all, but your little sister, niece, daughter, whatever probably knows it. If someone can find it on a bunch of cheerleading websites, then I'll go for a keep.

  • Looking through the Google News link above, I found http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-128027537.html. It's a subscription news link, but there's enough information over the fold to suggest that it seems to be used at Old Dominion University during timeouts. Jury is out on whether or not it is "trivial" -- RoninBK _{T C} 13:02, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect to Buckwheat Boyz for now. There is probable notability with the song, but better referencing is needed to be sure. RFerreira (talk) 18:05, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect - Some notability to the song, but needs expansion and sources. Taxman214 02:18, 8 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Taxman214 (talk • contribs)
