The result was no consensus. The deletes had a bit stronger argument based on my understanding of policy, but a legitimate argument can be made for the keep's interpretation notability, and given the not-unreasonable position I don't think I can find a rough consensus to delete.

WP:NSONG states "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song. 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. Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article"
The song barely charted and with that aside this article is not needed at all. All the information if covered under Loud (Rihanna album) and other singles sections. The background of this article is bloated with information the related to "Man Down" and, "Cheers" and "California King Bed" so that this can become a GA. This article is absolutely not needed, just because it charted does not mean that it gets a page. Every single reference is related to another article, there is not one reference directly relating to "Fading". - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 03:15, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply
Can I just say that if this consensus is going to result in a delete, then I'd rather it be re-directed back to Loud, which how it was in the first place (I didn't create the article, I just wrote it), even though there is enough coverage and information with regard to background info, reviews, composition and live performances, with addition of charting.
