Poorly-named duplicate of I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time that's an unlikely search term (otherwise, I would just have made it into a redirect). I tried to make it a speedy but couldn't find any criteria that fit.... SKS2K6 (talk) 15:19, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per nom notwithstanding lack of criteria. Common sense dictates.....-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 15:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge Contents aren't duplicated. Merge relevant details and create redirect at I'll be lovin u long time. Add "(Mariah Carey song)" to the title of the other page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasynnash2 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete Actually they are. They are both articles for I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time, a Mariah Carey song. The article at I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time was there before this one was created. As there is no other songs under this title, there is no need for this one here, as "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" is a more plausible search term then "I'll be lovin u long time(Mariah Carey song)" Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 15:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment No, actually they aren't. Maybe I'm being harsh but, duplicated means the content would be the same. It isn't. It is however, an article about a subject that is already covered. Both articles have good elements which combined make a better article than either one currently does on its own. Jasynnash2 (talk) 16:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Redundant article, unlikely search term. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 15:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Out of curiosity which bit is thought to be an unlikely search term. I think not capitalising things or using the ' correctly are likely to be common errors if searching for information about this song. I grant you most people won't include "(Mariah Carey song)" in the search but, I thought this was pretty standard as part of the article naming conventions. Jasynnash2 (talk) 16:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * People won't search it with the parentesees, that's why its an unliky search term. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 16:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I sometimes search with parentheses, especially if it's for a band or a song name that I expect will take me to a redirect page. -- Nick Penguin ( contribs ) 18:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * True, but the vast majority of searchers would not. And besides, this title isn't exactly a common one.  And it's not capitalized correctly.  Nor is there a space before the first bracket.  :P  SKS2K6 (talk) 19:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Contributors to this debate seem to be underestimating how very very very cheap redirects are. I'd have a redirect just for the handful of people who may have watchlisted the article we're discussing. AndyJones (talk) 12:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * A line has to be drawn somewhere. Every single article can have tens, if not a hundred, different possible search terms. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 21:58, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as redundant.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 23:51, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect per WP:BOLD. It could be deleted as a search for this namespace is unlikely; speedy close. Ohconfucius (talk) 02:41, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
