[edit] We Break the Dawn
Unreleased single (crystal ballism) with little or no media coverage and no references. Fails WP:MUSIC#Songs and WP:V. Prod removed without comment. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 14:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 14:36, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Strong Keep: The single has a release date (actually it was released today), it was already premiered through People Magazine official site, making headlines right there. This article is very important because it is the first single from the artis to reach mainstream, the article is now sourced with references, it has high media coverage (for being released by a major site), and it was previously announced by another major media reviewer, the Billboard official site. So why delete this article? To be re-created? Tomorrow? Eduemoni↑talk↓ 17:58, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment Premiering as streaming audio is not the same as being released as a single. Once the song establishes notability with significant coverage in the media (a tiny blurb on People 's website is not significant, and the Billboard article is about her and the album, only mentioning that the song was slated to be a single) or when it's actually released and charts (which, hey, it's a catchy song, I don't doubt it will chart) then the article can be re-created. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 18:45, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment Not only streaming, but being on the main page of www.people.com as headline (it isn't just a tiny blurb), alias if it is not significant, so what it is? The article on Billboard isn't about her, but her album being dance and moving away from gospel, also which song will be first and second single, also on her official website there is a statement of official release through people.com site. If this article is deleted it will be re-created, so there is no point to delete it. Deleting an article that actually will be re-created in the future even sounds controversy! Coz we can develop it, waiting for more reliable sources. Eduemoni↑talk↓ 20:41, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

- Keep per http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20186964,00.html, notable due to that alone. Corvus cornixtalk 23:49, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I don't see how a single promotional blurb on a magazine's website equals notability. There's nothing like that in WP:MUSIC#Songs. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 00:05, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- KEEP: We Break the Dawn is a new single from Michelle Williams its even stated on her official webpage Michelle Williams Online. Wether or not a release date has not been set other websites including Billboard and Michelle's own blog on YouTube talks about the new single [1]. I wonder why the geeky wikipedian would put speedy delection code on the page. Ceddy 06 16:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

- Please remember to remain civil and discuss the notability of the subject, not the motives or the character of the nominator. Corvus cornixtalk 21:59, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Comment The song has not been released as a single. You can't buy it or download it and radio stations aren't playing it yet. The only way you can listen to it is by streaming it on the People website. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 15:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- This is going to be a huge hit (subjective I know but look at the evidence - ex DC, all star writing and production, hugely catchy, already getting popular across the world - I live in France and I'm not even a fan of Williams')...why would the page be deleted? I was trying to find info on it, this page is useful. And will only expand and evolve rapidly... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.100.164.21 (talk) 22:34, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
