This article - about a song, not an album - has no references that meet the requirements of WP:NMUSIC. All links given miss the mark. Whiteguru (talk) 10:02, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

- Merge with Elvis Presley: While this recording do meet {{Talk quote inline|the single or album has appeared on any country's national music chart}} per wp:nalbum, it also say {{Talk quote inline|Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged into the artist's article or discography.}} Comparing this article with other similar articles, this article is definitely on the short side. A wp:before search did not reveal any additional usable sources. Also, considering it was released in 1966, it is unlikely there will be new usable sources that help expand the article beyond a stub, so merging is more appropriate. I have checked out Elvis Presley and found no mention of this song in the article at all. ~ Ase1estecharge-paritytime 14:05, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, because (a) I've just added a couple more sources; (b) this song was a top 40 chart hit in both the UK and the USA, which suggests notability per WP:NMUSIC; and (c) I can't find a good redirect target, because I haven't been able to find an Elvis Presley soundtrack or album with which this song would be associated. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:04, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per Metropolitan90's edit and rationale. Carbrera (talk) 21:41, 19 February 2021 (UTC).
- Keep per Metropolitan90's edit and rationale. The article seems robust enough IMO.--Amelia-the-comic-geek (talk) 22:58, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - passes WP:NSONG. Onel5969 TT me 18:03, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep: Per Metropolitan90. Article is good enough to pass WP:NSINGLE. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 15:45, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Elvis Presley singles discography. Elvis The Music is not independent—it is operated by Sony which owns the label that released the record. Neither is a quote from a member of his entourage. One quote from a biographer is not significant coverage. I looked on ProQuest and there wasn't much either; maybe one line from Variety. WP:NSONGS only says charting "suggest[s] that a song or single may be notable enough that a search for coverage in reliable independent sources will be successful", not that it is inherently notable. This is highly unlikely to grow beyond a stub. Heartfox (talk) 21:08, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
