The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Merge and/or Keep. There is a clear consensus that the content of these pages should be retained in some form. However, pages that have very little content and which are not likely to expand significantly should be merged (with a redirect from the current song page to the song's section on the new page) into the articles on the albums where they appear or some other appropriate page. Due to the mass nomination there was no separate consensus on which specific pages should be merged and this issue should therefor be further discussed for any pages where a merge may be appropriate.

"White Elephant" is the first single from the album Gravity the Seducer by the electronic music band Ladytron.[1]

Track listing
  1. "White Elephant" – 4:15
References

to the album? This is WP:UNDUE. Most articles are based on: "Song is a single from the Album by band Ladytron.[1] Then a tracklisting including the CD single release and its remixes (if it had)", and that's all.

  1. ^ Reliable source/Discogs (unreliable source)

Keeping unnotable crap that fails a policy and a guideline won't help in anything to this project. ۞ Tbhotch™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 06:11, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The difference between merge and delete is a fairly minor one (in this case), but the main reason to merge is that the article is NOT deleted but redirected, and so will never get recreated. This should actually *reduce* the stuff that gets sent to AFD. If someone actually finds enough information and citations to break one of these songs from the album, great! But normally there's enough room on the album page. The redirect also aids search results. If you want to know about that particular song, a search of the song title only will get you quickly to the album page. Cheers,  The Steve  10:28, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Then the correct word is redirect. ۞ Tbhotch™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 16:07, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. A merge is normally added because if there is any relevant info not in the main article, it should be added. However, it is up to those editing the main article, so we voters don't even have to look at the article to be redirected (but we probably should). For instance, some (but not all) of those Ladytron singles charted, and that info should be kept.  The Steve  08:23, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
