Contested prod. Unreleased single, has not charted. Might be notable eventually but not right now. Fails WP:NSONGS RadioFan (talk) 18:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- The song was officially released today, so how can it chart? This is ignorance. Many artist on Wikipedia have an upcoming single that hasn't charted, but hasn't been considered for deletion. I revoke this!74.236.156.131 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC).
- Keep It is an official single, confirmed, released, the whole ten yards. No reason to delete it. Str8cash (talk) 18:39, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- Comment there is no doubt that it exists, the question is does it meet Wikipedia guidelines. Please read WP:NSONGS and share how you think this article meets that. We aren't talking about other songs or other artists (which is not a good argument to make in deletion discussions), we are discussing this one. As I mentioned in the nomination, this song may chart sometime but it hasn't yet. Wikipedia is for notable topics, not a place to build notability.--RadioFan (talk) 22:15, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- Merge until it grows. It's not a question of notability -- it's that there doesn't seem to sufficient content to justify a solo article away from the album. The JPStalk to me 20:48, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

- Delete. Actually, it is a question of notability, and this song doesn't meet WP:MUSIC#Songs. No awards, no chart, no covers = no article. No notable content is referenced, so nothing to merge. Esradekan Gibb "Klat" 12:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
- Keep, the song has charted. The song actually charted already. On Hot 100 Airplay at #169. On R&B airplay the song is #70. And that was yesterdays July 25, 2009 update; so it possibly has changed since then. 74.236.156.131 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:32, 26 July 2009 (UTC).
- update as of July 28, 2009
Hot 100 Airplay: #105
R&B Airplay: #47
and I'm searching more. So add the charts and search for sources if you don't believe me. The song has charted making the article credible, right?
74.236.156.131 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:40, 26 July 2009 (UTC).- Comment Um, correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Hot 100 stop at 100? Also what is your source for this information, Billboard.com doesn't even list the song.--RadioFan (talk) 01:32, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Yes but the Airplay has it's own bubbling under charts as well so it can go down to 125, and this already signifies it will chart on thursday when it's first week of qualification on the major charts is over... Str8cash (talk) 21:54, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

- Redirect to parent album, The Blueprint 3. Airplay charts aren't enough, per WP:NSONGS, and besides, "a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article." We aren't there yet, the information can and should live in the album article for now. Amalthea 20:36, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
- Comment agreed, WP:NSONGS tells us "a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article." This one just isnt there yet.--RadioFan (talk) 01:30, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Does Wikipedia is not paper mean anything to you? It comes before the "crystal ball" thing, so it MUST be more important. Tom Danson (talk) 09:05, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Keep It has officially charted, so you can all stop complaining. It has charted at #35 on the Billboard R&B 100 list, and at #108 on the Billboard Hot 100.
- Comment please add the chart information and cite your sources.--RadioFan (talk) 01:17, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
- Comment It also charted #67 on the Billboard Radio Songs list, and at #20 Billboard Rap Songs list. I'd source it, but I can't find a static page on Billboard to source it from. I hate their new design.--KyleEshna 13:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
