There is a video which is labeled as one of the sources on the page that has Kanye confirming himself that the song is going to be the next single off the CD. If that isn't enough proof than I don't know what it.

The video is also a video from
Consequence's video blog. Consequence is a rapper on Kanye's record label
GOOD Music. Therefore, the video is in someways first party.

Deductive reasoning is not sufficient to prove reliable for Wikipedia purposes. Also, artist statements are not reliable, given that the artist has very little control over their A&R anymore. --

Ok, I added more sources last night, thats all I can do for now. Sorry I'm not so much on top of wiki rules and such. I'm just a little agravated because this has pretty much been confirmed.

None of the sources provided qualify as a source that would meet requirements. An official statement from the label or a linked "going for adds" post from Radio and Records is really what we're looking for here. --

Delete per nom, lacks non-trivial coverage from reliable THIRD PARTY publications.

Keep Kanye himself confirmed the fact it's a single at the T.I. concert he performed at.

Keep There is recorded proof that Kanye has announced that the song will be the second single from the CD. MTV (reliable THIRD PARTY publications) is reporting this as well and I have added them as a source on the page for the song.

Keep Sources have been added for confirmation. Recommend withdrawal.

Keep music single which meets
WP:MUSIC, second the recommendation for withdrawal at this stage.

Sources listed still are referring to a confirmation from Kanye West himself, which is not enough to prove that it will actually be the album's second single. Artists have very little control over their A&R anymore. --

If anyone has control over singles, it Kanye.

That's an opinion. --

Yes I know, but saying that a statement from Kanye along with reliable sources isn't proof then what is? —Preceding

Keep per MTV. It's early days, but the article will develop once released.

MTV source still says that the single was announced by Kanye, not the label. --
