Non-notable song. See also my comment on the talk page of the author. theFace 09:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the notability of the song is that it is a pioneering song in support of gay parenting. It is even more significant because of being targetted to children rather than adults. The lyrics have been translated into many languages and promoted in a way that no other Kinderen voor Kinderen featured song has ever been. In fact people who can't understand one word of Dutch actually know this all-Dutch song. Translations from Dutch I have seen to: English [1], Portuguese [2], Spanish [3], Hungarian [4]. Ive also seen translations in French, Russian and Latvian.. The song appearing in the official album of "Kinderen voor kinderen" that year, was also featured in the EuroGames and Amercan Jay Brannan has performed it many time in Dutch. werldwayd (talk) 10:41, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone could pick some song video and put English/Portuguese/Spanish subtitles into it. As I also said on your talk page, it is true that this song gained international attention, but on a small scale (blogs and forums and such). The fact that it was performed on EuroGames 2007[5] and played by Jay Brannan [6] is interesting, and further raises the notability meter, but not even close to WP's standards.

Delete. Fails the criteria set out at WP:NSONGS Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 12:02, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete doesn't appear to pass our songs criteria. Not a charting single, and being performed a handful of times hardly makes it an enduring standard. I note none of the other dozens of songs from the same show have articles. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:17, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This title, of course, is not English and misleading; I really was hoping that this would prove to be about sickeningly cute chibi Darth Vaders. That would be a promising subject for an article, somewhere, maybe not here. But Wikipedia is not here to publicize your noble cause, and this song just doesn't seem to be notable otherwise. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:37, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
