Grabbing this for a review. Aoba47 (talk) 03:52, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the ALT text for the infobox image, I would say “standing next to a man dressed as Santa Claus” as opposed to “a Santa Clause-dressed man” as the original phrasing is a little strange to me. I would avoid the phrasing “Santa Clause-dressed” in the body of the article as it is a little awkward.

Done

In the lead, could you specify what editions of the album that the song appeared on? In the references, you cite “Very Hot”. Is that a rerelease that included the song? I am confused by this part. In the parent article on the album, it is mentioned that (Inna's Christmas track "I Need You For Christmas” which was written and produced by Play & Win and released by Roton Records in Romania at Christmas 2009 in edition EP with three new tracks) so the information is unclear on this matter.

Done The info about the EP is wrong and was added (as on this article before I revamped it) completely unreferenced. I couldn't find any EP like this on iTunes, Amazon.... Ok, I specified what versions of the album in the lead.

The second sentence in the lead is rather short and abrupt. According to your note in the release date in the infobox, you mention that the exact release date is unknown, but I would think that it would be safe to assume that the date would either be the release date for the previously mentioned editions of the album or the release of the music video.

Done

Do you have a source that identifies this as a promotional single? It seems more like a song that received a music video. Any information on radio release or label's perspective on the song would be ideal.

Not done This song is als listed as a promotional single in Inna discography (it is a Christmas song), but I don't have a reference for this. Sorry!

Having the song listed as a promotional single on another Wikipedia article/list is not enough to support this being a promotional single. If you want to say that this is a promotional single, you will need a source that either shows that this was played on the radio as such or was released by the label as such. A song does not become a promotional single just because it receives a video so I would advise you to think further about this. Aoba47 (talk) 14:06, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the lead, I would specify that Constanta is in Romania.

Done

Rather than “For promotion”, I would put “To promote the song, a music video was uploaded…” as the introductory phrase reads a little awkwardly to me.

Done

The sentene in the lead about the music video reads a little awkwardly and can be better constructed so I would revise it to make it flow better.

Done

I would specify that Cotroceni is in Romania.

Done

While looking through the article, I have my doubts on the notability of this single for a separate article. I would add more sources to prove that this has received enough coverage for a separate article. A majority of the sources are not third party (iTunes, liner notes, and YouTube) are not great indicators of notability.

Not done Sadly, these were the only sources I could find for this article. It is a 2009-era Inna song, and coverage about her then was always limited. The article was a stub before and I just wanted to expand it. If you feel like you should fail this because on the notability issue, then please do it.

I will have to fail it on these grounds as I am not certain if this is notable enough for its own article (this information can be comfortably folded in the article on the parent album in a few sentences in my opinion). Aoba47 (talk) 14:06, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would include a “Credits and personnel” section with all of the information on the song’s writers and producers and the recording studio/location.

Done

I would put the information on French 2011 re-release of the album after the 2010 release of Very Hot to put things in chronological order.

Done

The sentence identifying "I Need You for Christmas" as a Christmas song is rather short and abrupt, and I would see if there is a way to integrate this information more seamlessly into the section.

Done

Unless the information about the cover artwork was identified/analyzed by a media commentator and was deemed notable, then I would remove your description on the cover artwork.

Done

As I mentioned above, it would be ideal to find more than one review for the song.

I would also like to have tons of information, but sadly the coverage is limited. See what you can do with the article as it stands now.

Great work with this article. My primary concern is with notability; I believe that this article requires further expansion and work as I am not 100% convinced if this song is notable enough for a separate article (as the current information may be folded into the article on the parent album). Hopefully, this is helpful. Aoba47 (talk) 04:11, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: Hi! Thanks for your review; I have responded to all your comments. You may see what you can do with the article as it stands now. Best regards, Cartoon network freak (talk) 05:52, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for responding to my comments. I will have to ✗ Fail this as I have some major concerns on notability. Also, I am uncertain about how this could be labeled as a promotional single when there is not a citation to support it. Good luck with this article, and I apologize for the results. Feel free to ask other users for comments on this about the coverage/notability of this to get more feedback. Aoba47 (talk) 14:06, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
