• Remain deleted. (I was AfD closing admin.) The above linked websites are interesting, but don't go very far towards satisfying notability. The subject of the article has not received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Cirt (talk) 14:04, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion. Deletion review is a venue to point out failures to follow the deletion process, not to go into arguments that should have been presented at the AFD to begin with. Stifle (talk) 19:01, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
• Endorse Deletion. The only keep argument was essentially, "It's real, therefore we shouldn't delete it". --Smashville^talk 20:31, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion. AfD was properly closed and subject still does not appear to meet the criteria of WP:MUSIC#Songs. — Satori Son 20:33, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
• I don't see, from the sources cited, that the song has charted in any "national or significant charts", which WP:MUSIC suggests. Nor do I see that it has received enough coverage to really warrant an article or give us much to write about it. So, since I can't see any reason to overturn or suggest recreation, I'm afraid I will have to endorse the deletion and suggest that you put any verifiable information into the artist or album articles.

I've already added sources for the German Singles Chart () and the Austrian Singles Chart. Both are official national charts. The single peaked at #19 in Germany and at #63 in Austria.

• Endorse deletion. I can see from the links that it has charted now. However, (quoting WP:MUSIC#Songs): "Most songs do not merit an article... Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside, a separate article is only appropriate on a song when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article (my emphasis); articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album". This single is clearly not meriting of its own article at this time. Unusual? Quite ^TalkQu 22:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I've found a few informations , , , , , to expand the article. articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album" - sure, but the article was deleted instead of making a redirection so I couldn't merge it to any article. Note that the version in the cache is older than the deleted version. Jonny84 (talk) 00:45, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. Given the sources cited in this DRV, I would support userfication or history restoration behind a redirect to facilitate merging any appropriate material. While it still doesn't meet the guidelines as a stand-alone single material about this song should be covered in an article about the album it came from.
