• Keep Hi User:Vivvt this is a combined article for both the old song from Bombay which was clearly notable as it was listed in top indian charts. and also re-released by a movie. so Condition #1 and #3 of WP:NSONGS are justified. may I know your specific concern why it fails WP:NSONGS ? --DBigXray 12:26, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• @DBigXray: Topping the charts does not justify the notability and that is clearly mentioned in WP:NSONGS#1. The song independently did not win any awards to satisfy #2 and lastly, it has not been independently released. It was remixed and released into film's soundtrack. Plus, look at the article for now. Nothing it mentions other than its original and remake with 2 spam links for lyrics. - Vivvt (Talk) 16:08, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Please read WP:NSONGS again. Chart rankings and SIGCOV define notability, the latter more so. SIGCOV, WP:NSONGS#1 (charts) and #3 (since it was re-released) apply here. The song is an AR Rahman's cult classic^[1] . AR Rahman's superhit song Humma Humma from the 1995 Mani Ratnam film Bombay is a classic in the truest sense of the word. Here are the sources ^{[2][3][4][5][6][7]} --DBigXray 16:29, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• We are here discussing the Notability of this article. Not its content. WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP--DBigXray 16:31, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• I am arguing 4 points to keep this.

1. WP:NSONGS#1 Top charts over several years. (see sources above)
2. WP:NSONGS#3 re released by another notable artist (in a movie)
3. WP:SIGCOV and WP:LASTING
4. WP:NARTIST's notable work Artist here being AR Rahman --DBigXray 15:47, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep WP:BEFORE was not tried. I can just echo what has been said above. I also agree that AfD is not for cleanup. Accesscrawl (talk) 17:15, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per DBigXray. Songs that chart are notable. James500 (talk) 18:59, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as passes WP:NSONG as a charting hit with substantial coverage, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 19:00, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
