Pop! Goes My Heart
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  for deletion/Pop! Goes My Heart Stats )

This is a song used within a film. The film was not a huge hit and the song is not known outside of the film. The song was not a hit in real life, only in the film's universe. Dozzzzzzzzzing off (talk) 15:11, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Music and Lyrics - although the nomination statement doesn't quite compare the song to policy, I definitely agree that it doesn't appear to have any notability. The article has been tagged as unsourced for two years, it's a stub, and there's not even as much as an AllMusic review. Thus, we have a song failing WP:GNG, and WP:NSONG (no assertion that it has charted anywhere.) However, it is a plausible redirect, and there definitely appears to be a good amount of traffic flowing through the page (20+ a day, fairly consistently) - so let's redirect it to the film.

 * Redirect to Music and Lyrics - agreed with the above. But let's 1) incorporate any possible useful information in the article Music and Lyrics. And please keep in mind that 2) there is an article about another song from this movie, Way Back into Love, which was not a hit either and which may not be notable either.

 * Good points, both of you. I will change my initial suggestion of deletion into one of redirection. I assume to redirect the other song, we'd have to hold a separate discussion for it? Dozzzzzzzzzing off (talk) 21:06, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd do it boldly at first, if the consensus for this is for a redirect; if reverted, then the procedure would be to AfD it. :) Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 21:58, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Ahem... How about a bold redirect of both to Music and Lyrics: Music from the Motion Picture ?  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 01:24, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That would be a valid target as well. Call me cynical, but I'd rather this AfD went to completion, so no-one can claim "reverting WP:BOLD action without consensus" or something like that. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 07:56, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, you may as well wait for this discussion to conclude, but WP:BRD could result in Way Back into Love being improved.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 20:49, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That one has a chart position, so has arguably more chance of some sources existing. :) Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 07:53, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 08:14, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
 * So what are we thinking now? How long does this process take till the conversation is completed? I'm new to this! :) Dozzzzzzzzzing off (talk) 13:59, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
 * A week, unless there are enough legitimate !votes of the same type for WP:SNOW to apply, which would shorten the debate, or longer, if it appeared that consensus had not been reached. :) Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 14:27, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
