Although released as a single, the song does not have substantial coverage in multiple reliable published sources that are independent of the subject. The only coverage on the song is from album reviews. Sources like this are more of routine coverage. The sole chart position on the Gaon Digital Chart at 100 isn't impressive and the recording has not been certified or received major accolades. The fact that the song has charted or was released independently as a single is not by itself reason for a standalone article since notability requires independent evidence, and charting alone does not indicate that a song is notable. As an alternative to the deletion, a redirect to the album article Querencia seems reasonable. Nonetheless, it might it be worth discussing if a standalone article for the song is at all appropriate.

• Comment Found some Korean sources that seem to go a bit more in-depth on the song, including a page entirely dedicated to the song by Melon, as well these three articles here, here, and here. However, I'm not sure if any of these make the song more notable or not - you're right that it didn't have much chart presence at all (did not even land on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales or K-pop 100 chart). Nonetheless, the coverage makes me unsure on whether or not the standalone page should be kept. But while I'm on the fence regarding this one, why exactly does "Demente" have its own page at all? It charted even lower, the article has even less sources than X's, and its only merit is a re-release taking out the artist's Korean verses in place of ones in Spanish.

  • Toyota Impreza, thanks for the response. Melon is an online music streaming platform and is a retailer. It is neither reliable nor independent. The other three sources are routine coverage on the song which just mention its release date, names of writers, and nothing more. And the second and third sources basically state the same thing so its one press release that has been circulated. As far as I know, "Demente" has some independent coverage, but didn't look at it in depth. Ashleyyoursmile! 11:15, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ashleyyoursmile My bad on those, especially the Melon link: the page reads more like something akin to WP:FAN than actual serious coverage. From what I have seen, the same "circulated" argument can be applied for Demente, except it's a near copy/paste across articles (though, shouldn't we move to its talk page to avoid clogging this section here?). I've accordingly changed my original post to agree with the redirect. Toyota Impreza (talk) 11:48, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
