Annakili (soundtrack)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Better merged with the parent article, which it has exceeded in size and number of references. Although the soundtrack is very notable, the film is defined mostly by that only and the film article is very short. Kailash29792 (talk)  06:21, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep: Both pages are notable, this should be a merge request rather than a nomination for deletion. Toughpigs (talk) 18:11, 7 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep: Seconding Toughpigs' comments. QuietHere (talk &#124; contributions) 23:30, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep, yes, I agree. And both are rather decent articles, btw. I think a merge would be very unclear for the reader. Let's rather just improve the plot summary - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  08:39, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * How often (and odd) is it that an offshoot article (or maybe better to say fork article) becomes larger than the parent? But in this case, music should have a separate article since it is mentioned in this article that the film's story was created out of songs already composed. That shows how essential music is to the film and why both should share an article. Kailash29792  (talk)  08:47, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I can't say how often and that may be odd. Music is essential to the film, sure. But the film is clearly very notable, so that a standalone article is absolutely warranted. A detailed article for the music, even if the soundtrack is also very notable, serves its purpose better. Again, the reader would be very confused by a merge. - My, oh my!

 * Merge important content from this page to Annakili. The article cannot exist without songs because Ilaiyaraaja casually sang a bunch of songs, one of which was "Annakkili Unnai Theduthe".[4] An impressed Panchu Arunachalam decided to write a screenplay based on these songs and on the story Marathuvechi written by R. Selvaraj to accommodate these songs;[5]. DareshMohan (talk) 09:47, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I think Kailash29792 is suggesting the merge the other way around, but never mind. More importantly, both meet GNG, so that both can have a page (and imv should). Notwithstanding the fact that this is not a venue for merge talk, I insist that I can't see the problem of having 2 pages here. Both are rather well-sourced and clear, on top of that. I think there's no way either of them ends up deleted/redirected.- My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  10:01, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Some of the sources have only brief mentions of Annakili. Not sure if this is a certain amount of fan page material. The Popular culture section contains original research. If you merge the other way around, rename Annakili (soundtrack) to Annakili. DareshMohan (talk) 21:17, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes WP:NALBUM #5 because the soundtrack is from notable film. The main movie page does not have the intricate details and I find this soundtrack page qualify under notability guidelines. Sources are good. There are other soundtrack pages discrete from main movie pages like these Hi Nanna (soundtrack), Jersey (soundtrack), Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire (soundtrack), Sita Ramam (soundtrack).
