Couldn't find a reliable source verifying notability of or significantly covering the whole song by the Supremes. Sure, it charted in (West) Germany, but that's all I can find. If it fails GNG, then the song may also fail WP:NSONG. Even if notable, the article won't likely expand in the near or far future. George Ho (talk) 07:39, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Almost forgot: should be redirected to The Supremes discography#1960s as alternative to deletion. --George Ho (talk) 07:41, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, it charted nationally in Germany. But if for some reason then a re-direct is the next best alternative. Karl Twist (talk) 13:03, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How is being charted in just (West) Germany enough to keep the page as a standalone article? George Ho (talk) 17:36, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well George Ho, I wonder if the page had been done in Wikipedia Deutschland, would it have been notable from their perspective?

I honestly don't know how notability in German Wikipedia works besides German language, but I don't see rules about notability of individual songs. Just passage about music albums. I still don't see an individual guideline there about notability of music topics compared to ours.

From what I see, there aren't that plenty of articles about individual songs, implying that Germans may not find those songs individually notable. George Ho (talk) 22:36, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Something I forgot to mention too. There were German pop magazines very popular during the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. I'd be surprised if they didn't cover the song. Being the Supremes, I'd be doubly surprised. People in Germany could find them a lot easier and quicker than we could. If the article is found to be non-notable by consensus, then your suggestion of a redirect makes good sense. The history can be preserved. And when down the track someone finds coverage in those magazines, newspapers etc., a discussion can be held, and the article put back into action / revived.

If it only has the charting then I think the redirect would be the better option because the charting could be added to The Supremes discography#1960s. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 03:20, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was able to add the German music charts in just the "1960s" section. That way, the merger or redirect would be easier. George Ho (talk) 06:06, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Supremes discography#1960s: There is no coverage in reliable sources (only databases) to justify inclusion per WP:NSINGLE. No other NSINGLE requirements are met. Redirecting is a better alternative to deletion. Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 14:22, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
