Merger proposal

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: Kind of snowy: this article is just too long to merge into the album article. &#124; abequinnfourteen 18:14, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

I propose to merge "Gorgeous (Kanye West song)" into My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I think that the content in the "Gorgeous" article can easily be explained in the context of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy article despite being a GA is of a reasonable size and the merging will not cause any problems. It blows my mind how this is a GA in fact, as it does not comply with the WPN:Songs.

1) Has been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts. (Note again that this indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable.) - these are not signifcant 2)Has won one or more significant awards or honors, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award. - No 3)Has been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups. - No

There is only oen source, Complex, covering it as Rap Radar only talks about a live performance the rest of its reception is taken from the album, not good enough for a stand alone article. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:21, 4 December 2019 (UTC)


 * No - You are getting carried away with this cause and missing the point of summary style in Wikipedia articles: "Essentially, it is generally acceptable to have different levels of detail of a subject in different articles, provided that each provides a balanced view of the subject matter." (WP:SPINOFF) You are also missing the point of Notability (music), whose criteria is meant as a "rule of thumb", and to "please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted. You have merely cited "factors" that "may" suggest notability, but glossed over the criteria that a standalone article "should satisfy": Per WP:NSONG, "Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label. … Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." There is coverage of the song beyond its mention in album reviews, including its recording, individual commercial performance, and appearance in marketing efforts. This article clearly is appropriate under the aforementioned criteria. isento (talk) 20:27, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
 * No - per isento's reasoning. mike•owen  discuss 12:34, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
 * No – per isento. – zmbro (talk) 17:43, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You are saying this couldn't be merged into MBDTF when it could, this is not about the amount of information it never was, it is about being notable as a stand alone article. Commercial performance means nothing. It says that it may be notable, not that is notable. Bubbling Under and Digital Sales Songs are component charts. Recording that is dubious as it contains interviews with feature guests and producers, doesn't stike me as "independent sources". MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:37, 25 December 2019 (UTC)


 * No – I agreed with isento on this. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 18:31, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * No per Isento. Sergecross73   msg me  05:05, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This article is long enough and well enough sourced to stand on its own. Merging all the sourced content into the album would give too much space in the album article to this song, and it would not be appropriate to remove reliably sourced content from this article.  So leaving this article standalone is the best solution. Rlendog (talk) 22:18, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose – I'm really amused by the idea that this fairly lengthy article is somehow going fit in the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy without a) shaving off genuinely interesting context that makes this a valuable article in the first place or b) making the latter article oversized and overweighted towards this particular song. –  PhilipTerryGraham (talk &middot;&#32;articles &middot;&#32;reviews) 07:07, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
