[edit] When You Look At Me

Songs are not notable - include in album's page Lbbzman 15:07, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

AfD is not the place to go if you want to discuss merging. Go to the article's talkpage, or be bold and merge it yourself. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment. My apologies. The album pages already exist and mention the songs themselves, so I guess I am suggesting that the song pages should thus be removed. I may be mistaken in my belief, though. Lbbzman 15:56, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment. A redirect is perfectly fine, so there is no need to delete a page. We can have millions of redirects. KittenKlub 21:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

• Merge to Christina Milian (album), which is also a stub. Article fails to establish any other notability apart from "It was a hit". To quote user:FuriousFreddy: if a song article is nothing but a recounting of how the song was made, and how well it did, without explaining that it was, in some way, important and influential to the music industry, there's really no reason for it. Just write good album articles, and selected articles on the important singles and album tracks, and let's keep the encyclopedia balanced. Encyclopedias aren't supposed to be "complete"; they are supposed to provide overviews and guide users to further information on a subject if they want to go beyond the standard level. Something like a Christina Milian fan wiki would be a fine place to have an article on every Milian song, but a general-purpose encyclopedia is not. See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Pop music issues and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines/Songs. Why write dozens of short articles on singles, with no chances of actual expansion short of padding and marketing-report material (chart positions), when they can be combined into one album article?

• Merge. See other single. KittenKlub 21:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
