None notable song. It fails WP:Notability (music) on ever count. As an alternative to deletion, it could possibly be merged into Blind Willie Johnson, Although it's questionable if it's notable enough even for that. Adamant1 ( talk) 14:43, 1 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Keep due to coverage in the last decade by NPR [1], the New Yorker, [2], and Discover magazine. [3]. Question for Adamant1, and anyone in cooperation with Adamant1: Have you heard of people talking or writing about this recording due to it relating to the pandemic? I've noticed other 1918 flu related historical topics resurfacing, and am wondering if you have come across people talking about it for this reason.-- Epiphyllumlover ( talk) 01:18, 2 April 2020 (UTC) reply

One, I don't think it's fair to say people who vote similar to each other are in cooperation with each other. Second, my only judgement (and I believe the judgement of others also) is purely based on notability through reliable in-depth sourcing. That's it. The existence of peripherally related current events or similar things like that don't factor into it. We don't keep every article about planes when a major airliner goes down etc etc. Nor should we. Outside of that, personally I haven't noticed any topics about the flu epidemic resurfacing on here, but then I wasn't really paying attention to that when I was looking at the article and deciding to do the AfD. I'm sure more people are looking it up though since it and Covid-19 are semi-related. That's not how I came across the article though. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 09:31, 2 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Merge to Blind Willie Johnson. The NPR source does not actually talk about the song, it just puts in it a references section. The other two do mention the song, but the Discover magazine source does not provide significant coverage, being just one actual sentence of coverage and the rest being copy-pasted song lyrics. This leaves The New Yorker, which does provide significant coverage, but it is only one source, not enough to establish notability. Also per NSONG: "A standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album."

• Merge to Blind Willie Johnson per Devonian Wombat. The song fails WP:NSONG and since there isn't enough coverage in reliable sources, a separate article isn't warranted.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 14:06, 2 April 2020 (UTC) reply
