Fails WP:NSONG. No notability and only some minor chart placements. I don't believe we need to create an article for every track off this album. Then we might as well create an article for "Happy Mistake" from Lady Gaga's Harlequin album, which at least received significant media coverage due to its live performance.

• Keep per GNG and OKFORK. WP:NSONG says, "Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." The song has charted in multiple countries and the entry is already expanded beyond stub status. I'm voting the same way I have for the other Lady Gaga songs recently nominated for deletion: given the chart performance, news coverage, and amount of content here, I'd prefer to see this article expanded and improved, not deleted. This is a helpful encyclopedia entry and I'm bummed to see a deletion nomination immediately after being accepted at Articles for Creation. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:41, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
• Delete: Chart placements are completely irrelevant. Fails NSONG, is not the subject of multiple in-depth pieces from reliable sources. NSONG specifies album reviews don’t matter for establishing notability. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 20:59, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
• :"Completely irrelevant" isn't correct. It's certainly a factor, just not generally enough on its own. Sergecross73 msg me 22:58, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
• Delete this only has been covered within album reviews, which aren't enough to warrant a song page as WP:NSONG makes clear. Contrary to what Another Believer seems to suggest when giving an out-of-context quote, no depth from those can compensate for failing notability criteria. Charts (or lack thereof) become entirely moot when there's little to no coverage outside of album reviews or commentary from those who were involved with working on the track.

• Merge: to the album. There isn't coverage in Gnews, the song only came out this month, less than 3 weeks ago. TOOSOON at this point. I'd wait before creating an article on a newly released song, for the simple fact that it's not been in the public eye long enough to get critical reviews or gain much traction; charting at 88 and 103 aren't signed of notability. If it was in the top 10, that would be different. It maybe drop off the charts next week and we'll never hear about it again. Oaktree b (talk) 00:09, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
• Delete: The track doesn't meet WP:NSONGS, there are no credible sources outside of album reviews. At least for now. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:41, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
• Drafity: I rather suggest drafting the article because the page was done with lot of research. Randompersonediting (✍️•📚) 15:23, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
• :This is one of those scenarios where I'd agree with draftifying. It's both a song that could plausibly become notable someday (not like its a 20 year old deep album cut or something) and contains content that could conceivably be used in an article some day (album reviews may not be able to establish notability, but its still fine to generally source content.)

• Delete + Drafify Unlike the sibling AfD noms for Zombieboy and Garden of Eden, I agree here that this is WP:TOOSOON and WP:NSONG is not yet met. I couldn't find any focused discussion of this song specifically in the reliable sources outside of album reviews, unlike those two comparators which each have significant and focused coverage in magazine articles, pop culture websites, etc. Agree though with Randompersonediting that it's possible the song could become independently notable later, so let's save the draft.
