This article should not be speedy deleted as being about a musical recording that does not indicate its own importance and where the artist's article does not exist, because... Please be patient with my editing. The song has regained prominence this month as a result of a YouTube scandal. --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  18:21, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

I see one YoutTube posting of the original with 66.5 million views posted on December 2, 2010 and another seemingly identical YouTube posting with 4.2 million page views posted on March 9, 2011. Are they identical?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  03:45, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

The following article does not appear to be a WP:RS, but has a lot of interesting content that we should look for: http://freddyo.com/new-artist-rejectz-starring-chris-brown-cat-daddy-rej3ctz/uncategorized/ .--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  18:10, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

I forgot to explain this on the review, so i'll write it here for any editor willing to improve the article.
As the article is written as a single release, it must be evaluated as a music related good article nominee, so, the following information is needed to meet such criteria:

On infobox
Duration of the song —  Done --Hahc21 [TALK][CONTRIBS] 23:55, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
Label/Imprint —  Done --Hahc21 [TALK][CONTRIBS] 23:55, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
The lead says it was released in 2010, the infobox says 2011 (may be inconsistent)
Cronology of the main performer (if possible)
Formats of release —  Done --Hahc21 [TALK][CONTRIBS] 23:55, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
If the song has lyrics, the writer(s) (if possible)
When was recorded
On article body
There are too much 'external videos' templates around the article. They should be moved all into the see also section, wich must be created.
There is no composition, recording, release history and chart performance.
Here is one big problem. As the article is treated as a single release, it must meet this guideline: "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable." If this guideline os not met, then it "should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song."
And there is another problem, the main performer, and who solely released the song, doesn't have an article.
The solution: Change the article style from a single/song article to a more general music article to avoid this guideline.
The song has a music video. Why isn't a 'music video' section on the article? It is enough information to write this section.
Other things to note
First, on the article, the "street dance" template appears. So, why don't just rewrite the article like, as an example, the Crip Walk or the Dougie? if the article is not written as a single/song article, then it doesn't have to met the song/single guidelines and all i wrote above can be easily avoided. Also, the prose comments i wrote on the review should be considered.
Second, it is highly recommended to add a music sample for to the article, wether it's written as a dance or as a single release. I recommend to change the style out from a song article. If the style is changed, it has higher probabilities to be promoted to GA status. I'd be glad if anyone finds this information useful.

Also, the song was included on this compilation:

Also, i know this website is no reliable on Wikipedia, but it gives charts:

Which is an archive of this:http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/hot-100?chartDate=2011-06-18, but now i can't access position 97.
Wow, Billboard gave me the charts! Look:

9 charts!
 Done --Hahc21 [TALK][CONTRIBS] 23:24, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
You see? I was right in failing the article. There is so much information to be added on it before it passes GA. I hope this will be useful. 

--Hahc21 [TALK][CONTRIBS] 14:08, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
I assume that there are probably different standards for mixtape releases that meet the WP:GNG. If all these charts exist, then it should not have been WP:CSDed. It was an assumption based on three successful CSD attempts and my lack of understanding on how to research Billboard charts that this content did not exist. If you want to contribute to the article please don't just stand there. If you are an expert on finding chart information, I could use help with with "We Belong Together (Randy Newman song)" and "Zou Bisou Bisou".--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  16:28, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
I'd be glad to help. I'll take a look to find chart information for those songs. I know i made a mistake nominating the article for deletion before even searching for charts or releases. I'll be searching for charts for those songs. Saluts! --Hahc21 [TALK][CONTRIBS] 16:40, 21 May 2012 (UTC)


### Work
I've made a lot of edits to the article. Still, there's information needed before it's ready for GA. I'll be developing the Composition and background sections with the footnotes already on the article, and other refs i've checked on the web. --Hahc21 [TALK][CONTRIBS] 01:26, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

The section on the Kate Upton video is poorly worded and contains unneccesary information.  I fixed it once, but it was reverted and is oorly worded again.  The video being banned on the 1st or the 2nd and who reported it is completely irrelevant to the important part of the section.  State the facts and leave out the meaningless detail that provides no additional value to the reader.  Who cares if the actual date the video was taken off YouTube was the 1st or the 2nd or who reported that it was back up?  Until terrible writing like that is fixed this article is a far cry from GA.  Arzel (talk) 15:24, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
The video being banned and becoming newsworthy is the only reason why this article exists. The article was deleted several times before. It took a controversy about its banning to get WP:RS to write about it. When it was banned is also relevant.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  16:39, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Whether it was banned on the 1st or the 2nd makes absolutely no difference in the least.  It is repetative and takes away from the story.  If the world ended today would it matter if it ended at noon or 1pm?  Would it matter who reported it first?  Report the important facts. Arzel (talk) 17:09, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Lead
"Cat Daddy" is a 2010 song by The Rej3ctz and an eponymous dance. - why would you want to start off the sentence like this? Maybe saying "Cat Daddy" is a song recorded by American recording artist The Rej3ctz or American rap band since there is not article based on them on Wikipedia. For this the single makes me wonder if it meets the criteria.
Saying that the dance is "notable" is POV-ish and the sentence that follows it borders WP:OR. Why is the dance notable? You give no reason but saying Chris Brown had done a version of it, this does not make it notable.
The lead alone needs work. Please check other GA song articles for a model article. Sentences like this one "It was released as a music download on February 16, 2011 on iTunes and charted on several Billboard charts, including fourteen weeks on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, after being re-released on June 27, 2011." needs work. First off the sentence is too big. "It was released as a music download..." try saying "It was released for digital download". Another sentence "charted on several Billboard charts, including fourteen weeks on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs," which charts did it peak? What was the peak positions for the song?
The official video has had over 70 million YouTube views. needs to be in present-tense tone
The song and dance became topical again due to a viral video in May 2012 when reigning Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model Kate Upton posted a video of her bikini-clad rendition of the dance on YouTube and YouTube temporarily banned the video. another long sentence. This sentence "became topical again" is not very grammatical and "reigning" sounds POVish.
I'm going to quick-fail this article as it needs further fixings. Please tell me how YouTube is a WP:RS? Try fixing these issues and others like it in the article and post it at WP:PR and at WP:GOCE/REQ before nominating again. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 22:53, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

### Lead
"Cat Daddy" is a 2010 song by American Hip hop group The Rej3ctz and an eponymous dance. → "and an eponymous dance" does not make any sense
It is a dance by the same name. Should it by homonymous?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  23:14, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
If you are going to mention it as a dance, I would change it to "Cat Daddy" is a 2010 song by American Hip hop  group The Rej3ctz. It is based off a dance of the same name and is from the 2010 mixtape... Rp0211 (talk2me) 18:08, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

The dance is the one that Chris Brown performed during 106 & Park 10th Anniversary special in October 2010. → What is "the dance"?
The Cat Daddy is the name of a dance.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  03:56, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
I would change the prose of the sentence, so that it makes more sense. For instance, Chris Brown performed the dance during the 106 & Park 10th Aniversary special in October 2010. Rp0211 (talk2me) 18:08, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Several notable celebrities have been filmed doing the dance. → Such as?
Below we have videos with Bieber and Upton. The subsequent paragraph details Upton, however, we don't have WP:RS that talk substantively about other performers.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  03:53, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

As stated above YouTube is a WP:RS for number of YouTube views.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  03:54, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
My apologies with this; I wanted you to put as of what month and year that this video had six million views. Rp0211 (talk2me) 18:08, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

### Cover versions
...when she served as Grand Marshall for the February 26, 2012 Daytona 500.[15] → "February 26" not necessary
It provides context in ralation to April 30.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  04:36, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Since there is only one Daytona 500 per year, it is not necessary in this instance. Rp0211 (talk2me) 18:08, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
How many readers will remember the date of the 2012 Daytona 500 forever? We want to be clear that this occurred a few months before the Cat Daddy phenomenon.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  18:57, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
I would agree to this if it was not wiki-linked. Since it is wiki-linked, readers can access information such as the date it occurred. Rp0211 (talk2me) 19:45, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  05:07, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Proofread this section, as it needs a lot of work to fix the formatting errors. When you go through this section, make sure to:
Only italicize publications such as magazines and newspapers
Wiki-link the work and publisher (if possible) if it has its first appearance in the section
done--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  05:21, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
If a source repeats in the section, do not wiki-link it as it was mentioned before
I disagree with this. Although we assume a reader has seen a link if it is in the main body above the current location, we do not assume readers read all citations.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  05:21, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
I understand what you are saying, but doing so repeatedly would violate WP:OVERLINK. Also, I still see numerous issues with this section; I can go over each reference and put what needs to be fixed if you want. Rp0211 (talk2me) 18:08, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
The guideline that you cite says, footnotes are an exception: "Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, links may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead."--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  19:20, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
It talks about it being helpful to readers. I'm talking about instances with, for example, references 26-31. Rp0211 (talk2me) 19:45, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Even thought it appears redundant, many readers are able to see mouseover details and do not look down at the actual notes section. They only see the specific footnote for the number that they are mousing over.  Thus, repeated content helps a reader who is only reading any one of the individual hooks. That is why I generally repeat footnote content. I don't assume the reader is reading through the footnotes at the bottom.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  20:23, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Noted. Rp0211 (talk2me) 21:37, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Make sure everything complies with WP:REF

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put it on hold at this time. There are numerous prose issues, reference formatting errors, among other things. I decided to put it on hold because I believe you can fix these issues within the general seven days. Also, make sure to expand the information about the original version of the song, including things like background information, lyrics, critical reception, etc. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Rp0211 (talk2me) 22:38, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

All of the issues have been addressed above, except the Daytona 500 issue. Besides this, I mentioned expanding the information on the original version of the song. Try and include things like background information, lyrics, critical reception, and a possible music sample so this article can be broad in its coverage. Rp0211 (talk2me) 21:37, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Removed the Daytona date.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  01:13, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Since it has been more than seven days and all of the issues have not been addressed, I am going to have to fail this article for good article nomination at this time. Once these issues are addressed, you are more than welcome to renominate this article. Rp0211 (talk2me) 17:15, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
I am a bit confused on why this was failed. I am unaware of outstanding unresolved issues.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  17:26, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
Due to miscommunication between the nominator and the reviewer, I am reopening this article to fix the remaining issues that are left and will give the nominator seven more days. Rp0211 (talk2me) 00:50, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

In response to the "background information, lyrics, critical reception, and a possible music sample" request, I have added a music sample. I believe it is considered a copyvio to add lyrics. I will look for some critical reception and background info.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  18:01, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
I have found a little background and reception content and reorganized a little bit. I make no promises that I will find anything else.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  20:47, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
