• Delete. No independent notability for this song, and there is no value to readers for this single-sentence article that offers zero extra info to the soundtrack article. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 20:20, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

• Merge to Eddie My Love per bd2412. Still insufficient evidence for independent notability, and I think readers are better served by having this material located within the target article. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 23:42, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

• Redirect to Grease (musical), where this song originated. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:48, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
• Redirect to Grease (musical) per above. Aoba47 (talk) 18:17, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

• Striking my vote because of the information provided by bd2412. I am uncertain on whether or not it satisfies notability, but I agree that if the information should at least be merged to the article on the musical if consensus is decided against independent notability.

• Leaning keep. This song has some interesting history, being written (actually rewritten from the 1956 song, Eddie My Love) for the musical, excluded from the film (but included in the soundtrack, unlike some other songs that were left out of the film), and included in the 2016 live television performance. I have expanded and sourced the article. If not kept, the content should probably be merged to Eddie My Love, as a notable adaptation. bd2412 T 02:18, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

• Thank you for the additional information. Aoba47 (talk) 17:50, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
