Redundant to Bernie Taupin. Unsourced to boot, nothing to merge. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 22:58, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Could this be turned into a discography for the songwriting team? Powers T 23:56, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * We already have Songs written by Bernie Taupin, which covers most of the same ground. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 00:27, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * But that article doesn't indicate which ones were composed by Elton John, which is the salient point of the John/Taupin article. Powers T 14:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * If it can be properly sourced that is an idea. WP:ARS? - Mgm|(talk) 00:04, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - This link shows that "John/Taupin" probably could be maintained as a separate article. However, as TPH points out, John/Taupin is unsourced and we already have Bernie Taupin as a place for information on John/Taupin. Should there be an interest in creating a sourced John/Taupin article, then interested editors can grow the Bernie Taupin article with sourced material and create a new article per Summary style. The closer may redirect and/or merge any valuable information into Bernie Taupin as needed. -- Suntag  ☼  14:38, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
