Per WP:GNG and WP:NM, this doesn't have any coverage beyond its existance. The tracklist could easily be included on the discography. → Lil-℧niquԐ1 - (Talk) - 11:52, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect or merge - Bizarre that so many RS would write about it being released, but decline to review it... Caro7200 (talk) 13:35, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Caro7200: it's the nature of the music journalism business these days... record companies send advance press releases to interns on news desks, who regurgitate them and provide publicity for the new release, but unlike long-form albums, singles and EPs don't usually get reviewed upon release, not like in the days of print magazines. This is why so many song articles on Wikipedia these days are nothing more than announcements of the release, and then chart positions if applicable – even if the sources are reliable ones, they're just publicity announcements.

- Redirect to JoJo discography due to a lack of coverage. I agree with Richard3120's thoughts, but I would also not be surprised if page views are taken into consideration (i.e. publications only doing reviews on artists that attract a certain amount of page views to justify paying a writer). That's my just my two cents though. I think a redirect would be the better option here. Aoba47 (talk) 20:08, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
