I am worried that there could be a good bit more said about this song; for as big an artist as Selena, this is not a lot of material. The article is kinda flimsy as it stands and comes close to not covering the major aspects. Go back to the sources, maybe look in WP:TWL beyond ProQuest, and beef it up.

This song isn't that well-known compared to some of her other recordings. – jona ✉ 18:58, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I really struggled with this one, and I have felt on a knife-edge about how to handle this. I wish there was more. This page still clamors for it. Yet I can't find much of anything, and pages on similar topics are of similar size, so I am going to pass it. It feels like this early recording became way more notable after she died.

Guerra proposed that Luke Combs, slated for an upcoming performance at the venue, could interpret "Ya Ves" utilizing his "radio-ready twang" on "Ya Ves". Overuse of the song title.

In 2005, Bobby Pulido received an invitation from Abraham to perform "Ya Ves" at the all-star televised benefit concert, Selena ¡Vive! (2005). redundant year; remove comma after "concert".

Comma after "Texas" (MOS:GEOCOMMA) or just make it read "Houston"

Selena's decimal anniversary of her death should probably be the tenth anniversary of Selena's death — this isn't an idiomatic use for decimal, though it would be for décimo

Who is Abraham? Is he the same as A. B. Quintanilla?

I've added the info. – jona ✉ 18:58, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, @AJona1992. I had no problems with the media. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:22, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
