This may be a WP:GA, but it does not pass WP:NSONG or WP:GNG. The song may have charted, but there is no evidence that it has received significant coverage from third-party, reliable sources. The current sourcing is almost entirely to album reviews, and while doing a WP:BEFORE, I could not find enough significant coverage on this specific song to support this having a separate article.

And before anyone points to the charts as a reason to keep the article, WP:NSONG clearly says that charts may indicate notability, but it puts more importance and emphasis on coverage (which the song does not have). Aoba47 (talk) 18:41, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems to have enough coverage from reliable sources to be notable. Maybe not as well known as her other songs, but the article is well-sourced and has a critical commentary section. Oaktree b (talk) 20:59, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b: Whether or not, this song is as "well known" as her others is not relevant to this discussion. Also, an article having a "critical reception" section does not make the subject notable on its own. The key here is whether or not the song has received significant coverage. WP:NSONG specifically states: "Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability." All of the reviews about the song are from album reviews, and they do not count as significant coverage so this is not a strong keep argument. Aoba47 (talk) 21:47, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NSONG. Chart positions do not equate notability, and from the references included, none are non-trivial sources that discuss this song in-depth. HĐ (talk) 09:42, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ Redirect to Circus (Britney Spears album) when there's no significant discussion in any credible sources that aren't album reviews, charts (or lack thereof) are entirely moot, and this shouldn't have been promoted to GA in the first place.

Redirect to Circus (Britney Spears album): Barely found any independent coverage about the song. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 16:00, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Circus (Britney Spears album), as it clearly doesn't pass WP:NSONGS. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:07, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Based on the other articles about her songs that I reviewed, I would think that there are enough sources to improve this article. I would like to see it kept and worked on rather than deleted or merged, as I think some good detailed information will be lost by a merge.--Concertmusic (talk) 22:52, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Concertmusic: If you can find evidence that this song has received significant coverage from reliable, third-party sources (outside album reviews), then please either list those sources here or incorporate them into the article. Aoba47 (talk) 01:30, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
