Brother for Sale

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Not a notable song, as far as I can tell. Just a routine featured in one segment of a video. Not released as a single or album track. A merge might be an alternative if there's something to merge it to. Colapeninsula (talk) 11:37, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: For some reason I feel like there's been other versions of this song out there, that were made in some format before the MK&AO song. I'll see what I can find.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:19, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah- I was thinking of the Shel Silverstein poem "Sister for Sale".Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:23, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to work on it and I've found some sources that talk about an album by the same name that the Olsens made in the 90s. I think it might be best to make this article about the album as a whole, with a section on the song if there's enough information. If all else fails, this could probably serve as a redirect to the twins.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:34, 17 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak redirect to Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. I know that this is a notable album and that it got coverage when it first released, but that was from before things got put on the internet regularly. There's some articles that are hidden behind paywalls, so if anyone is able to access those and show notability then I'm willing to change my vote. As it is, this would merit a redirect and a brief mention on the twins' article for now.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:57, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * My biggest issue is that while I've found sources, none of them are so overwhelmingly reliable or in-depth that they'd show notability beyond a doubt. It did well in the children's album market, but not in the more wide music market.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 16:48, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect per Tokyogirl79. This looks like one of those cases where it's notable enough to get its own section of a parent article, but not to warrant an independent article. - Jorgath (talk) (contribs) 13:53, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
