Contested redirect. On first glance, this may seem odd, but I'll explain myself. Currently, the trend in Korean music is to release EPs, or "mini-albums", instead of full albums. They're packaged like full albums, with nice full photobooks and other goodies, but only have a few tracks. In these albums, only one main song is promoted as the single, while the other ones are just thrown in there, maybe performed once or twice, perhaps. As such, it's essentially a glorified single with multiple B-sides. Also, right now, there's more attention thrown at singles as opposed to albums, hence why this article has significantly more sources on the song itself than on the album. The information for this album is already listed on Gee (Girls' Generation song) (in more detail, I might add), and so there's no need for a duplicate page to exist. I understand that pages do exist for North American/European albums with only one single release, but I don't see why a separate page should exist when one should suffice. I hope I make sense. Anyway, the reason I brought it here is because the creator of this separate album page disagrees with me strongly, so...yeah. SKS (talk) 21:03, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
