Migrate (Mariah Carey song)

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

Not a single, not notable at all, the chart info has already been merged to the article of the album, so this page is useless and a complete waste, should be deleted immediately. User:J.s.a.s.

"A separate article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." It's charted once due to high digital sales during the release of her album. Yes, it charted. But is it notable enough to warrant its own article? I think not. The information can easily be integarted into E=MC² (Mariah Carey album), which it already has been. SKS2K6 (talk) 20:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep I recommend you reread WP:MUSIC's section on the notability of songs. Since it charted on major charts, it warrants its own page.  Acro  X   19:59, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 *  Delete Merge and redirect: Why? Well, as per WP:MUSIC:
 * Merge and redirect  (EC) Let me know if I'm missing something, but WP:Music only says a song that charts is probably notable. It goes on to say, "A separate article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." This article is not sufficiently detailed, but would make a nice addition to the E=MC² (Mariah Carey album).  Dloh  cierekim  20:09, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * per AFD, merge and redirect is more appropriate than "delete" as we lose the page history. see WP:GFDL Cheers,  Dloh  cierekim  20:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep per AcroX above and per WP:MUSIC. Frank Anchor Talk to me  (R-OH) 21:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to album. Scraped the bottom of the Hot 100, which doesn't automatically make it notable. Can easily be merged to the album. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:11, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to album per TPH. Not a speedy keep by any stretch, and appears not to satisfy WP:MUSIC. This stub is much better off redirected to the album. Ohconfucius (talk) 02:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge  to album per Dlohcierekim & TPH.    Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 11:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - doesn't deleting the source of merged info violate the GFDL? In any case, per the main WP:AFD page, redirects don't need to be brought to AFD. 220.208.98.59 (talk) 22:31, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Correct, deletion destroys the page history. Merge and redirect is actually recommended as a better outcome than deletion per AFD. Since this was brought as a proposal to delete, this is the place to discuss alternatives. cheers,  Dloh  cierekim  00:13, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge I cannot see any possibility for this article to grow past a stub. J.delanoy gabs adds  04:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the album. It is more than foreseeable that this record will be serviced as a single, at some point in the current project, by the record label, perhaps as soon as next (after Bye Bye peaks in airplay).  --InDeBiz1 (talk) 22:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
