Applause (Bonnie Franklin song)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Per WP:NSONGS: "Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." (bold mine) The song is discussed in ~~five~~ four independent references, but it still lacking notability. It never charted, never was covered or used as a sample, or won an award. If its notability, if any, depends in ~~five~~ four references, and it won't go further than an stub-articlem as required at NSONGS, it can be merged elsewhere, but notability is not inherited.

Delete per nom. Redundant stub. —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 03:41, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment if this is deleted, then it should redirect to Applause (musical), as that article still covers this song, so is a viable search term and redirect. -- 76.65.129.3 (talk) 05:33, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge a mention of the single to Applause (musical). Not enough for a standalone article and the title is wrong - it isn't a Bonnie Franklin song, it's a Charles Strouse and Lee Adams song. --Michig (talk) 06:17, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Applause (musical)—this subject on its own lacks notability but can be mentioned in the parent article. The Wikipedian Penguin 22:39, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why not merge every single to albums? In ictu oculi (talk) 01:01, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as creator but per Google Book print notability - I don't see anything above to say that a single from a musical (and musical soundtrack album) cannot have an article the same as any other single. Has this AfD been notified to WikiProject Musical theatre? Because I actually had a musical theatre editor thank me? In ictu oculi (talk) 01:01, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The first reference simply gives the composers names. The third and fourth say only that Franklin sang the song in the musical. The only reference that addresses the issue of whether the song has notability independent of the musical is the second one, which claims the song was a commercial success. But if the song didn't chart, then it is not notable for this reason either. Allah is an akbar (talk) 02:06, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
