Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (Mariah Carey 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 on a Votes for Undeletion nomination).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was no consensus, leaning towards merge. Discounting sockpuppets, there are 10 keep, 5 delete, and 10 merge votes. While merging this article was more strongly requested than, say, Articles for deletion/Do You Know Where You're Going To? (Theme from Mahogany) (Mariah Carey song), I do not think there is enough agreement on what action should be taken. I did, however, move this article to Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (Mariah Carey single).  Rob e  rt  23:39, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge - with Santa Claus is Coming to Town, just a short mention will do. - Hahnchen 02:43, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep OmegaWikipedia 03:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as per Hahnchen. Jkelly 03:10, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep separate. Please think of the real users, not just random article surfers. Kappa 06:45, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with the album it's on. Failing that, delete. Not notable enough to stand as a separate article. Jonathunder 07:12, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge & redirect. Non-notable on its own. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 13:14, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Ultimate Star Wars Freak 15:06, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, no significance for real users who know WP is an encyclopedia and not an exhaustive music guide. Barno 15:14, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge per User:Hahnchen. If the song had already been released, and there were more information about it, I might have been inclined to issue a weak keep, but it's too early for that. Maybe at some point that section of Santa Claus is Coming to Town will merit creating an article of its own. --Jacquelyn Marie 21:54, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * KEEP : Mariah's singles are an important part of knowing the work she has accomplished throughout the years. Why delete this page? What have we got to lose? I think that having the most information as possible about a singer, like Mariah Carey in this case, should be keeped if possible.Mczelda 04:44, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This user's thirteenth edit; of the previous twelve, three were to articles, three to another AfD on a Carey single. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 11:11, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
