Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ready for Your Love (Chapter 8 song)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to Chapter 8 (album). Clear consensus to not keep as a stand-alone article. Opinion split between merge and redirect. I'm calling this a merge, but observe that the target already has maybe as much as should be said about this particular song. So, leaving it up to whoever does the merge to figure out how much additional material to bring, or maybe just leave it as a redirect if that feels right. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:35, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Ready for Your Love (Chapter 8 song)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I searched for sources discussing this song. I found very little coverage in each sources. Despite being on the charts, the song fails to meet WP:GNG and/or WP:NSONGS. Either delete it or redirect it to Chapter 8 (album). Some content is already copied there. Also, it was created merely to distinguish itself from Ready for Your Love (Gorgon City song).

 * Merge to Chapter 8 (album) with no prejudice to recreating the article if more content can be found. As is, all of the existing content can safely be upmerged, I think.  SnowFire (talk) 19:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep 1979 first single of Anita Baker, most successful single of Chapter 8 (band), coverage in bios of both Anita Baker and Chapter 8. The fact that another song reused the same name in 2014 - and charted less well in US than this did - isn't a reason to delete a 1979 song. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:03, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * But giving the Gorgon City song brackets was the only reason this song's article was created. Unreal7 (talk) 08:46, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * When new media products appear and take up residence over older material - in this case more represented in books and higher charting in US - the new WP:RECENT product shouldn't obscure or deny existing material even if our coverage is weighted to the latest producrs.

 * IIO, when will you get the message? Absolutely NO ONE agrees with your sentiments. Unreal7 (talk) 15:00, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the album Chapter 8, as this song is not notable. Unreal7 (talk) 08:46, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * And redirect Ready for Your Love (Gorgon City song) ? Why is only the recent one notable? In ictu oculi (talk) 11:17, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Because it charted, because it is popular, because more than 6 people know who Gorgon City are, and because no one agrees with you. You created this article solely to put brackets on the Gorgon City song, which sounds a lot like vandalism to me, and vandals get blocked. Unreal7 (talk) 14:59, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment. It's not vandalism.  It's great that In inctu oculi added sourced content to Wikipedia, which is what keeps it going.  This is merely a matter of organization of content; articles on notable topics that are very short should be merged to larger articles.  Thanks to redirects, no content is lost, it's just easier to keep track of.  If some day someone can find enough sources & relevant content on the Chapter 8 song, then it might be reasonable to split it out again, just that day is not today.

 * Redirects also work with Ready for Your Love (Buddy Greco album) and Ready for Your Love (Shep and the Limelites song). It's inevitable that en.wp weights to what is WP:RECENT but such is life. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:42, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect as not particularly independently notable, best connected to the other article. SwisterTwister   talk  07:23, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * User:SwisterTwister as long as it connects to all 3 articles - the first charting single of Chapter 8 (band), the first notable single of Anita Baker before her solo career, the lead single of Chapter 8 (album). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83Db30YcDlg In ictu oculi (talk) 09:42, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge to Chapter 8 (album). The article is well-sourced, but the topic does not appear to have received enough coverage to qualify for a standalone article. WP:PRESERVE appropriate content. North America1000 07:40, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
