Not FA material[edit]

This article is not up to par with FA criteria. From a glance, I see that "live performances", "use in visual media", and "track listings" are all completely unreferenced. That alone would lead to an auto-fail today if submitted to GAN, and would prompt me to delist this immediately if it was a GA without putting a GAR on hold. Additionally, the lead fails to take into account the music video, genres, and what critics said about the song. The audio sample also doesn't give much benefit as far as I can tell. Unless this can be improved in a week or so, I will list this for FAR. Snuggums (talk / edits) 00:14, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Moving "Rich Girl" (Gwen Stefani song) to Rich Girl (Louchie Lou & Michie One song)[edit]

The Louchie Lou and Miche One version of the song is actually the original version. So it is a bit pointless to have two separate articles based on the same song. Also, I requested a delete on the article Rich Girl (Louchie Lou & Michie One song) Yoshiman6464 (talk) 03:25, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what to say about deletion, but this shouldn't be renamed to "Louchie Lou & Michie One song" just because of that since this article is dedicated to Gwen Stefani's song. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:09, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's understandable, but the other article is extremely brief. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 03:25, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
