This single does not meet the WP:MUSIC singles criteria. It did place on a chart but not even in the top 10. As WP:MUSIC notes most singles do not meet notability criteria for their own article unless there are enough sources to have a significant article. In this case there is some trivia, some OR ("it's chart impact was muted[...]") and not much else. HominidMachinae (talk) 22:16, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep - The song charted and has multiple covers, thus easily meeting WP:SONGS. I added references for each of these, and fixed the link to the allmusic article about the song, which can be used to expand the article as well. Indeed, the nomination itself "It did place on a chart..." acknowledges that the song meets the notability requirements for songs. Rlendog (talk) 15:24, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep - The song did chart and has multiple covers by notable artists, meeting the requirements for WP:SONGS. I added The Fleetwoods songs category to the page and cleaned it up a little. Housewatcher (talk) 01:28, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
