The result was keep. I'm disappointed that the nominator didn't respond to the relisting query. Right now I see a consensus to Keep. Liz Read! Talk! 04:57, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:NSONG on all counts: Did not chart, did not win any awards, and is unlikely to grow beyond stub status. This can be adequately covered in a few sentences at Tenacious D#Spicy Meatball Tour, Trump comment and hiatus (2023–present). 162 etc. (talk) 04:08, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:35, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: The song has been the primary subject of multiple independent published works; the article itself already has three, and a quick Google search yields at least four more. As the primary concern here is notability, and the article's subject passes a WP:BEFORE check, it's not suitable for deletion.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. What does the nominator have to say about these new sources brought up here?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 04:18, 15 August 2024 (UTC)- Weak keep as I am convinced the article could be improved by the additional sources found above that are from different outlets, although they are pretty repetitive in terms of content, and if it wasn't the band's first new song in five years, this song probably wouldn't be notable or very relevant.
