  • Comment - there was a very notable song of this title back in the 1970s. It was a major hit and warrants an article based upon the WP:SONG provisions, however it's impossible to tell whether this article is about the same song (presumably the article is about a cover version). No vote as I'm unfamiliar with this group's work, however I will support keeping the article if it's expanded into an article about the 1970s song. 23skidoo 16:00, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
The original song is by The Spinners - yes, very popular, hit #2 U.S. - as far as I know this T.I. version has nothing to do with it, except perhaps use of a sample? I don't know and I certainly can't tell from this article. - eo 16:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete on the face of it. Not sure what to make of 23skidoo's info. YechielMan 16:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, nothing showing notability except an NN award. --Dhartung | Talk 19:04, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This song was a fairly sizable hit for T.I. I remember it received fairly frequent rotation when it was out. Article rather sucks in its current incarnation and could certainly stand to be expanded, though. GassyGuy 05:49, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This song was featured on three greatest albums, it went to #30 on the Billboard Hot 100, 11 on Hot Rap Tracks, and #15 on Hot Hip-Hop tracks. I have rewritten the article and added numerous references.Chris Croy 16:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Change vote to Keep. Thanks, Chris Croy. Looks much better now, will look even better with an infobox. At some point I'll probably move this article to make room for the Spinners' song of the same name (as it was a much bigger hit) but at least at this point I don't think deletion or merging is necessary. - eo 17:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep: This is one of T.I. most notable songs, Their is no reason for it to be deleted or merged. QuasyBoy 9:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge. Put it in the album article if you want to keep the info. -- Ned Scott 04:01, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
