[edit] Tsunami song

  • Delete. There were individual charity songs meant to assist in the tsunami, similar to "We are the World" and "Do They Know It's Christmas?", but this describes "USA for Indonesia," which already has its own article, and "tsunami songs" are not a common and lasting reference. I'm not sure the remaining songs were especially notable (I'm not even sure 'USA for Indonesia' really is), but if it's felt they are, the respective data on the charity singles -- which is minimal at best -- could probably be merged into Charity record. — WCityMike (talk • contribs • where to reply) 21:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The phrase "Tsunami song" returns over 5.5 million GHits. Beno1000 21:29, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete First of all, I have no idea where the above voter's number came from, as I come upon 1% of that number of hits Google search. Secondly, the nominator said pretty much everything I'd want to say about this article, so I'll just go with "delete per nom." -- Kicking222 21:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment you do know that it will seach for either 'Tsunami' OR 'Song' when you don't put it it quotes right?. Crazynas 22:24, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

  • delete Google hits mean nothing. WP:MUSIC is the standard. If fails, no specific song. Dominick (TALK) 22:38, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, the Hot 97 controversy was rather major, especially for the Asian American community, and it deserves its own article. I don't have an opinion on whether songs about the tsunami should have an article however. hateless 03:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm not proposing that USA for Indonesia be deleted, which is the song surrounding the Hot 97 controversy. I'm proposing that the article about "tsunami song" — which is just generically "songs about the tsunami" — should be deleted and any salvageable data be merged elsewhere. If you have no opinion on that, then you probably wouldn't want to vote either way. — WCityMike (talk • contribs • where to reply) 14:49, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, I got confused. The song itself was referred to as the "Tsunami Song" in the blogs and emails I've seen, and I haven't seen the proper wiki article on it. In this case, I'm Weak Delete and Redirect to USA for Indonesia. hateless 15:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
