A zillion YouTube views, and apparently not a single respectable source in sight to base an article on. It's not the easiest thing to search for, but I'm not coming up with anything. And no, Diamond certification alone doesn't do it - we still need the substantial independent coverage... --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:15, 14 April 2020 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:15, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The song is a Top 30 hit in Belgium and France. It's certified "Diamond" in France. The YouTube link shuld be placed somewhere instead of considering it as a reference. I even found a few sources about the song: [1], [2], [3] and [4]. These sources are reliable enough for the article to pass WP:NSONG. My vote stands.

Well, your "vote" may stand a little lonesome. Source #2 might be up to something, if one could get around the paywall, but the rest are pretty worthless. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 02:57, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect - This song should probably be discussed in context over at 'L'Algérino', the artist's page, since while being well-known it still hasn't attracted much in the way of reliable source coverage. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 01:37, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect Not really sure what difference the song charting makes to notability, but it would still probably be better talked about in the artist's article instead of having it's own. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:44, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
