[edit] Poisoning Pigeons in the Park

Album the song is on is notable. The song itself is not. GeeJo 12:20, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep The notability of the song is borderline, but the article is encylopaedic enough to warrant inclusion. KeithD (talk) 12:27, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the song seems notable, and the article is a pretty good start. CanadianCaesar 12:29, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• I decided to Be Bold. I merged this content with An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer, so that a redirect can be put in place easily, if separate article is deleted. -- WCFrancis 12:57, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

On reflection, that seems to be the better idea. I'd retract the nomination if I was sure I wasnt violating some VFD taboo :) GeeJo 12:59, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

You can scratch out your nomination and call it "withdrawn", but you can't remove the vfd notice, and an administrator won't necessarily close the debate right away, although I've seen that happen before, eg. with Self-induced abortion and most recently with SaRenna Lee CanadianCaesar 13:22, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

• KEEP I love the song. I know it by heart and I share it at every opportunity. How can we improve the article? Robin Patterson 13:02, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect as per WCFrancis, I've had the pleasure of performing both these numbers and am fine with the content being at An Eve..., at least until there is too much there and we can consider a Tom Lehrer songs page. Alf 13:35, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect works for me. We all go together when we go... — RJH
• Either Expand and Keep (but please, despite what Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky may have told you, don't plagerize), or Merge with album. -Satori 15:38, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Trollderella 15:42, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. What do people see, precisely, as the advantage of having a tiny crumb of information out of context as opposed to putting it on the same as related information? Leave it in An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer and break it out when and if it grows to a reasonable article size. Dpbsmith (talk) 17:45, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and Don't Merge The song is notable enough that it regularly appears in compilation albums of novelty songs. Tho I will admit that I am slightly worried that some people might use the article as if were a sandbox "to experiment with". Caerwine 23:37, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, nomination was withdrawn.Gateman1997 20:41, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect into An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer. Jonathunder 01:53, 2005 August 20 (UTC)
• Keep Is there a person reading this who doesn't know this classic? --Tony Sidaway^Talk 02:02, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's not against any religion/to want to dispose of a pigeon", but I do believe this should continue to waste our evenings on Wikipedia. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 04:23, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
