Keep the number of sources for both versions of the song indicate WP:GNG In ictu oculi (talk) 19:57, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
WP:Notability is not inherited. If "Shine Like a Morning Star" meets notability, an article on that song may be created. This song may be merged and redirected to St. Louis Blues (album). SST flyer 01:13, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Keep. If there were an article on the Handy song, I'd be inclined to support a redirect/merge, though.We have too many articles on contemporary musical ephemera and seriously deficient coverage of pioneering work. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006. (talk) 21:15, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
I don't think your argument addresses the notability of this song. How about merging with the St. Louis Blues (album) article?SST flyer 01:13, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Keep As the song relates to numerous other topics, it's best to keep this page to tie them all together. Andrew D. (talk) 09:48, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Keep Well known. This one's easy.VanEman (talk) 16:25, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Comment – If not independently notable, this could be merged to St. Louis Blues. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:06, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
Merge to the article about the album on which the song appeared. Dkendr (talk) 20:32, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
Comment from nominator – of the four sources in the article, only one is directly about the subject; the other three are used to cite a statement that does not establish the notability of the subject. If the other version of the song is notable, the correct approach would be to create an article for that version of the song, not to keep this song. Many arguments by voters here do not actually address the notability of the subject. SSTflyer 05:36, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Merge Even if this is notable, it is still just a cover of a song. We usually include this with the article on the original (if it is notable). In this example, There_She_Goes#Sixpence_None_the_Richer_version, the cover is notable, but it does not merit its own article. It should also be merged into the article about the album. Since it does not inherit notability from its parent, I don't see how it is notable on its own. The references given imply that the original is more notable, not the cover alone. -- RM 01:34, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
