Redirect?[edit]

The reason I brought up Koala15's talk page in my edit summary is because s/he has appeared to be making a lot of these kinds of edits lately regarding music-related topics that are not only notable, but are also well-sourced. Anyway, a song that has yet to be released but is still notable does not violate WP:NSONGS; in addition, the song was released on May 18 (a source for that was pretty easy to find).

Third opinion by ReformedArsenal

WP:NSONGS states

Songs and singles may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria:
Has been the subject[1] of multiple, non-trivial[2] published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews. This excludes media reprints of press releases, or other publications where the artist, its record label, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the work.[3]

Has been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts.

Has won one or more significant awards or honors.

Has been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups

It doesn't, as far as I can tell, meet 2, 3, or 4. As far as number 1 goes... I don't see a few online articles, which seem to be more about the performance of the song than the song itself, as being enough to establish WP:N. I think that until one of the four criteria is clearly established, the redirect is the right way to go.
