Why to split double A-sides into two articles, or title under a single song's name:

Content fork and re-releases

 * Girls' Generation - "Oh!" (Korean, 2012) / "Oh!/All My Love Is for You" (2012)
 * BoA - "Eien / Universe / Believe in Love (Acoustic Version)" / Ravex feat. BoA - "Believe in Love"
 * Juju - "Kiseki o Nozomu Nara..." (2006) / "Wish for Snow/Kiseki o Nozomu Nara...Xmas Story" (2007)

Sometimes songs are released in multiple forms over time. Ideally on Wikipedia, all of the information on the songs "Oh!", "Believe in Love" and "Kiseki o Nozomu Nara..." should be on the same page, not split into separate articles.

Retracts from an important song

 * BoA - "Nanairo no Ashita (Brand New Beat)/Your Color"
 * Dreams Come True - "Love Love Love/Arashi ga Kuru"
 * Fuyumi Sakamoto - "Asia no Kaizoku/Mata Kimi ni Koi Shiteru"

Sometimes some songs explode with popularity, and occasionally these songs are one track of a double A-side single. Creating an article with both songs in the title detracts from the important, popular song.

Covers

 * Chisato Moritaka - "Watarasebashi/Writer Shibō" (1993)
 * Aya Matsuura - "Watarasebashi" (2004)

Matsuura did not cover "Writer Shibō", so having an article at Watarasebashi/Writer Shibō gives a false impression.

Album inclusion

 * Namie Amuro - "Girl Talk/The Speed Star"

Occasionally double A-side singles are released, where only one song of the two are actually featured on an album. For a discography table, listing both as one unit from an album gives a false impression that both songs will be on the album.
