[edit] You're My Best Friend/'39

Delete I find this whole concept of merging the A-side of a single with the B-side of a single completely unnecessary and inconsistent with the rest of Wikipedia's articles. For example, why not merge Bohemian Rhapsody and I'm In Love With My Car into "Bohemian Rhapsody/I'm In Love With My Car"? I propose that the individual articles for You're My Best Friend and '39 be restored with both include the information that YMBF was the A-side to the single whilst '39 was the B-side.

• Comment. I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are proposing. -- JJay 21:55, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment.JJay, I think he means the articles should be seperate and not as one? Englishrose 23:05, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
• That sounds like the intent, and sounds consistent with policy and precedent as far as I know. I'm not aware of anything special about the fact that they were A/B sides of one 45. Move to You're My Best Friend and '39. Barno 01:08, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Yes, If that's the intent, just create new page and rename old page. -- JJay 01:11, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Merging the A-Side and B-Side single articles into a single article is a bad idea? Wikipedia has one article for each album a band puts out, not fourteen or fifteen, yes? --70.188.134.238 22:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

• Author should be applauded for presenting the hit single as a unit. The focus of the article is on the single, not the songs. Move to You're My Best Friend and make '39 (Queen song) a redirect. B.Wind 03:38, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Why do the two song articles need to be merged because they formed the A and B sides of the single? Why not just have two articles for each song (which is consistent with the rest of Wikipedia) and include the information that they were a part of the single in each article?
