The result was Delete, with no prejudice against merging, however merging is a "non-AfD" discussion better suited to the talkpages. In addition, merge suggestions exist here for three separate articles (making it a "no consensus to merge") - Gordon Pogoda, Hannah Montana, and Little Miss Sunshine. If you are non-admin and need access to the contents and history for a merge, please let me know on my talkpage. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 21:07, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] If Cupid Had a Heart
Written by an editor with clear POV issues. The song has been in a notable movie and TV show, but it was recorded by a non-notable artist. Bringing to the community for a decision. GlassCobra 03:54, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep -A second opinion: I feel the entry should be included. The song was featured in an Oscar-winning film ("Little Miss Sunshine") and a popular children's TV show on Disney ("Hannah Montana"), and several other movies (a Lindsey Lohan film, "Get a Clue", in fact) and other TV shows. It may be the artist's first release, but everyone has to start somewhere. And singing in a film that won 2 Academy Awards is notable, in many people's opinions. In fact, in my opinion, it's quite a noteworthy start. Also notable, typing "If Cupid Had a Heart" (within quotes) into the google search engine reveals many, many remarks on the web discussing this very song in question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EdisonLite (talk • contribs)
- Delete. As per WP:Notability (music)#Albums and songs No "substantial coverage from reliable sources". Hasn't charted. Non-notable artist. --NrDg 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

- Merge with Gordon Pogoda, the songwriter. The song has evidently featured in several notable places, but WP:MUSIC notes that "Most songs do not merit an article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for a prominent album or for the artist who wrote or prominently performed the song". --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
