Does not meet WP:NSONG or Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Singles. Google search of "stash up opm -lyrics" doesn't return any sources. Wugapodes (talk) 01:13, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

What would be the point of deletion? It was a single from OPM's most successful album and was released in different formats worldwide. The music video received a lot of plays on Kerrang around the early 2000's. I would like to continue editing but I don't always have the time of day to consistently add to an article. You may as well just keep it, I mean exactly what harm is being caused by Stash Up having an article regardless of how much information is on it? I even uploaded the single's front cover which proves it was legit-ally released. It's not like it's an article about any other non-single from the Menace to Sobriety album is it? I've seen pages with less information than Stash Up that have been around for years without any sign of deletion. Take this into consideration please.NeverYouMind96 (talk) 01:28, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Topics of articles must be notable. Per Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Singles: A single requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence. That a single is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article. So just because it's from their most successful album does not mean that this single merits its own article. Per WP:NSONG, notability of a single is implied by:

1. Ranking on a national sales chart
2. Winning a significant award
3. Versions of it have been released by multiple artists

None of those apply to this single.

While you may have worked hard on the article, I do not believe it is notable in its own right. Existence does not equal notability, and while other stuff exists, that does not mean that this article should exist (as maybe those articles shouldn't exist either).

• Merge to Menace to Sobriety (OPM album) (create a new section called "Singles"). I'm only finding brief mentions, apart from material by the band/record label. Colapeninsula (talk) 13:21, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
