I applied the PROD template to several non-notable entries in Category:The Carpenters songs, but an anon went through and removed all of them without explanation. I will list each song separately, as, per precedent, this seems to be preferred, but the reasoning is the same on all: They show no real level of encyclopaedic notability, even though I've no doubt they're fine songs. They were not released as singles. Information about them can be discussed on their respective album pages and, in one case, in the article about the Make Your Own Kind of Music TV special. That said, there's not exactly much information on any of these to merge. I apologize if anyone resents the recycling of this AfD reasoning, but all of these articles are of such a similar nature that I feel it's appropriate. GassyGuy 22:43, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

• Fine, you can delete it. I don't care. Even though they weren't released as singles, I don't think it gives you a right to delete it to people who might look for information here about it. But, you are in a higher position than I, so no matter what I do, it's your decision.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.25.255.90 (talk • contribs).

• Comment Actually, it's not my decision at all. It's up for discussion of the community. If you think this song deserves an article, please explain why. Also, I am not in any higher position than you are. Your opinion and reasoning counts for just as much as mine does. I simply opened the discussion - I have no control over its outcome.

Move content and delete - if songs are not notable, they should not have their own article in an encyclopedia. However, there's no need to lose the work done; let it go into the articles on the relevant albums. The author should copy the content to his talk page or an album article talk page now; then, if the song articles are deleted, he can move it into the articles for the albums. - Fayenatic london (talk) 18:02, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

• Okay. I'll be sure to do that. Cuyler91093 18:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge all (to album page) and delete. Notability isn't really a negotiable criterion for WP pages. A Carpenters album satisfies (even if only on the weak "group is notable" rule-of-thumb in WP:MUSIC). DMacks 19:35, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Carpenters (album). It already contains info on this song and it's more appropriate to cover individual songs at the album page if possible. Mangojuice^talk 15:20, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
