Edit request from Jivesh boodhun, 14 April 2011[edit]

I have created an article for the song here in User:Jivesh boodhun/Sandbox4. Have a look. I am sure the article can remain. It meets the criteria for notability per WP:GNG. Moreover, the video was released to iTunes Store.

Please gain a consensus for this. Wikipedia:Articles for creation might offer you some support or alternatively you can post a note at the album talkpage to ask the opinions of other users as to whether this is a viable article. Regards, Woody (talk) 21:52, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I've asked the admin who placed the protection, as well as the user who initially redirected the article, to comment here. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 21:54, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Jivesh, the article should remain. The song's video and lyrics gained a lot of media attention. Ozurbanmusic (talk) 22:01, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
