[edit] Nastradamus (single)

This page is about a probably no notable single, and contains no sources cited Benon 23:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but completely rewrite First things first: The content of the article is trash. Utter garbage. With that said, the single is notable enough to be included on WP. It's a single by an incredibly notable artist (Nas, widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all-time and a chart topper on multiple occasions). The song helped ignite a beef (a.k.a. incident) with another notable rapper, Memphis Bleek. As far as commercial success, Billboard itself states that "Nastradamus" reached #4 on the Hot Rap Singles chart and #92 on the Hot 100 (the latter position surely isn't that high, but it at least charted; the former position surely makes the single notable by WP standards). The album of the same name also peaked at #7 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Hip Hop albums chart. -- Kicking222 23:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Unless a single is something truly notable like "White Christmas" or "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" it isn't notable enough for it's own encyclopedia article, hence, it's fancruft. KleenupKrew 00:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and Rewrite per Kicking222. There's a whole lot of precedent for singles to have their own articles, too. Danny Lilithborne 01:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete but allow rewritten article everyone here agrees that the article is utter garbage; delete this article now, but state that this AfD is not a blocker for a proper article Deleteme42 10:09, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and tag as needing cleanup. Just because it's badly written doesn't mean it should be deleted. Notability has been established. --Pc13 16:06, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and scrub thoroughly during clean up. GassyGuy 21:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. -- Captain Disdain 02:30, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
