Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hero (X Factor release)
There should be some sort of policy for covers, as this issue keeps coming up all the time.  Someone already mentioned Run (Snow Patrol song), notably covered by Leona Lewis.  Current Wikipedia ''consensus'' dictates that articles are for songs, not for versions.  No, it is '''not policy''', and nowhere does it say in  or  to do so.  However, if this changes (for example, if it becomes policy to write separate articles for different versions or covers), then a very strong line has to be drawn.  It should be obvious that one-time performances or album tracks shouldn't merit their own articles (i.e., "Last Christmas" redone by Ashley Tisdale or Billie Piper), but what about covers that charted?  Or charted well?  Or, in this case, went #1
