Fails WP:NSONG. The Billboard source was an exclusive given to the magazine, so it's not a particularly independent source, even if it's a reliable one, and the Broadway World source isn't generally considered reliable, and basically parrots the Billboard article (it says that Billboard "praised" the song, which isn't true at all). There aren't any other reliable sources covering the song in detail, just reproducing the press announcement that the song will be released and its proceeds will go to Johnson's foundation. I can't see an obvious redirect target: it's not mentioned at Craigie's article, and it's only included in Johnson's discography under "other songs"... but it's not his song, why would anyone look under his discography for another artist's song? The Jack Johnson discography also states that the song is included on the deluxe version of Craigie's Scarecrow album, but the article for that album has no mention of the song, and I can't find any "deluxe" version of the album, so that's not a viable target either.

Delete or redirect: not notable. It should also be noted that the user who created the page has also created other pages for Jack Johnson regardless of notability. Daerl (talk) 07:30, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to John Craigie (musician): Per nominator. There's no way it can be expanded. It's best to move the contents to the artist's article. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 00:51, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moving the contents is not a redirect... Richard3120 (talk) 01:39, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Richard3120, whether I voted to merge or redirect the article, ~~it's just the same thing~~. If it's decided for the article to be redirected, it's up to anyone if he can move some of the contents there. So, don't bother arguing with me. My vote stands no matter what.

I'm not arguing with your decision, you can vote how you want. I was just saying that merging and redirecting are not the same thing at all, so your statement is confusing. Richard3120 (talk) 13:42, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Richard3120, it doesn't look confusing. The page would still be converted to a redirect page once it's agreed to redirect or merge to the targeted article. They may be different, but that's one thing in common. I won't reply any further. Period. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 01:40, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
