• Merge to The Fame. Nowhere near enough for a standalone article, but there is content here which if it can be better sourced would be useful in the album article. If it can't be properly sourced then it should at least redirect there. --Michig (talk) 13:18, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
• Merge as per above; the song does not appear to meet WP:NSONGS or WP:GNG, but some of the background info can be incorporated into the album article.  Gong show 03:36, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

::Edit - I found what appears to be the [http://celebrityaccess.com/members/profile.html?id=477 original interview] and added it to the article in place of the Wikia link.  Gong show 19:05, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

:::While it is an interview, Celebrity Access does not appear to be a WP:RS. Reliable interviews are often from more reputable sites, magazines and newspapers. —WP:PENGUIN · ^{[ TALK ]} 19:23, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

::::I see that it's not a notable site, but could you elaborate on how the source is unreliable? It appears to be a professional organization with editorial oversight, and the page in question is not user-generated or an advertisement/press release. Further, Larry LeBlanc appears to be recognized as reputable within the music industry: e.g., [http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/folk-alliance-international-toronto-history-told-through-folk-music/article8985073/ former Canadian bureau chief for Billboard], [http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/music/2013/02/18/how_the_beatles_got_their_start_in_canada.html veteran music industry trade journalist], [http://www.globaltvbc.com/michael+bubl%C3%A9+named+host+of+2013+junos/6442801441/story.html recipient of the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award] at the 2013 Juno Awards.  Gong show 20:12, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

:::::Interesting. Maybe the word "Celebrity" in the name (gossip, etc.) influenced my opinion, but based on the qualifications and editorial oversight of the site and its editor in chief, I think this passes WP:RS. I'll remember to not question this in WP:GAN. Thanks. —WP:PENGUIN · ^{[ TALK ]} 22:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

• Merge with Redirect to The Fame—nothing to merge really; our one source is Wikia. I couldn't find a reliable source on the interview. —WP:PENGUIN · ^{[ TALK ]} 23:59, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
• :The new source seems to meet the criteria for a reliable source. I am open to a merger. —WP:PENGUIN · ^{[ TALK ]} 22:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
