Merger proposal

edit

I propose merging Geojitmal, TTL (Time to Love), and TTL Listen 2 into this article. Those song articles say almost nothing, and there is probably little that could be legitimately added to them to make the articles better. The material would be better served being discussed in this article instead, to fill out the album article better. Most songs fail song notability requirements, and per WP:SONGS, most songs should not have standalone articles. Right now I'm on the fence about "Bo Peep Bo Peep" because the article doesn't really say much, but for now let's skip considering merging it and just focus on these three very dinky song articles. Please share your comments. Shinyang-i (talk) 05:16, 9 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Strong oppose. The songs are notable. The articles contain some useful information. The articles are expandable. If you redirect them, you will prevent people from expanding them. You will deny Wikipedia the opportunity to grow. --13:51, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Okay, on this one you really have to be kidding. The "Geojitmal" article has a maintenance tag dating from 2010. 2010!! No one has seen fit to improve the thing in FIVE YEARS and you're coming here accusing me of denying someone of something? TTL and TTL2 are the same freaking song, just slightly different versions. Even full-on cover songs by different artists don't get separate articles but you think two slightly different versions of the same song by the same artist deserve separate articles? Moreover, the articles are like two sentences long and have been for a long time. I get it; you love Korean girl groups and you think they need very very extensive coverage and promotion on Wikipedia, but things don't work that way. I have voted in favor of deletion of some of my favorite songs, because I can see beyond my own biases and accept that this isn't my personal website. This T-ara album was my jam nonstop for like a year. I love this album. "처음처럼" is one of the best k-girl group songs ever in my opinion. But no way do I think these rinky-dink little articles about non-notable songs (good songs? yes; popular songs? yes; notable songs? no) should be kept. But as always, prove me wrong. Make the articles awesome. Shinyang-i (talk) 16:25, 10 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per Shinyang-i's comments. Like I said before, there is nothing preventing people from expanding the album article if these articles are merged. I also don't think it makes sense to create song articles apart from an album article when there isn't much to say about them. Random86 (talk) 00:43, 11 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
