Kimi no Naka de Odoritai

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:N, the artist is perhaps notable, but afaik that doesn't mean that all of their singles need to have articles on Wikipedia. They are likely going to be permanent stubs as they currently stand. I nominated one of these articles and wasn't sure if it would be best to nominate each of them separately, or if a decision on all of them can be reached here. At least I'd like to nominate all of the articles on the B'z template in the Singles section. Let me know what steps I would need to do to ensure it's done correctly. Chris M.

 * Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 12:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per the guidelines in WP:MUSIC into the article about the album, Off the Lock. I note that even the rather complete B'z discography page doesn't have information about sales or charting for this single. If enough material is uncovered to make an article that's more than a permastub, it can be recreated then. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment: WP:MUSIC suggests that articles about released singles shouldn't be deleted but merged into articles about the albums they're from. Rather than bring the rest to AdD, I recommend instead you start merge proposals using the various merge tags and go from there. I'd also specifically recommend that you start with those singles that don't have information about charting or exceptional sales figures, as those are almost certainly going to have third-party sources (if only in Japanese). —Quasirandom (talk) 14:47, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge into article for album or artist; no reason to have this permanent stub. &mdash; λ (talk) 20:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge This seems to be the best course of action based on the suggestions above. I'll throw merge on the articles without any sources initially. Thanks Chris M. (talk) 03:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I tagged all of the singles to merge into their respective albums, but some didn't have any listed, suggestions? Chris M. (talk) 04:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: I can see there's no way to save the article, so let me humbly ask you to merge the article with all its content, I mean, let's take everything to Off the Lock: Infobox, track listing, Japanese ideograms, etc. Victor Lopes (talk) 15:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep and deal with it being a stub for a while. B'z is a very notable Japanese band and I understand the conflict between lack of readily available English sources and system bias and I favor thwarting the latter. gren グレン 09:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, as a released and verifiable record. Agree with gren above that deleting this could be an example of systematic bias, as it is likely that any significant secondary material on this single is in Japanese.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 03:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC).
