Non-notable song. Article was nominated for speedy deletion on 3 May 2009; this was declined with the comment "removed speedy, added ref, this song might not be notable, but the singer, Diego Verdaguer passes WP:BIO". So, the song is not notable! The only reference given in the article is to a recording of the song by another artist. I have been unable to find any coverage that suggests this deserves its own article; it certainly does not have one in the Spanish language Wikipedia.

  • Delete per above. Fails our notability requirements. MX () 16:02, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Diego Verdaguer. His article is poorly referenced at present, but there's no doubt Mr. Verdaguer is notable: he has charted on various Billboard charts [1], he has been nominated three times for Latin Grammy awards, most recently in 2015 [2] and has been commercially successful both in Mexico and within the Latin community in the US [3], and been profiled in other articles [4]. The song was a hit within the Latin community, although it appears to have been released in 1978, not 1976 as stated in the article [5]. But the Ortiz-Mexico chart used in Billboard has never been considered an official Mexican chart, as far as I know, and in the absence of more printed sources, a redirect to the artist seems valid, particularly as the song's parent album was also called El Pasadiscos.

  • Delete because there is no evidence of notability for this song, beyond its basic existence as listed in a few trivia sources. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:15, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
