The Older EP

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is no discussion of this EP in reliable sources. The EP is mentioned in the Older (George Michael song) article, so a merge/redirect to there may suffice. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 23:48, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, or at least just redirect. No need to delete an article about an EP that includes four notable songs, charted in at least four countries, and was certified silver in the UK. Let the article grow. If anything, the redirect should be kept. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:13, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The sources I find about charting relate to the song or single rather than the EP. I couldn't confirm at all the Dutch peak of 29 only the 46 for the single. The link to the BPI website are deadlinks and I couldn't confirm, although again it may refer to the single certification. The EP completely fails the most important aspect of WP:NALBUMS, which states that all albums must have received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 00:34, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll note the potential charting issue on the discography's talk page. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:48, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect The article should be part of the single of the same name or, let's say, vice versa as the EP format was released earlier, while the later AA-single featuring also the track "I Can't Make You Love Me" in addition. But that depends also on which format of the work charted higher if both. Gustont (talk) 01:06, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect. The 1996 EP and the 1997 double-single (which just doesn't include the EP's other 2 B-side tracks) are not independently notable. Therefore one of them should be merged into the other. I think Gustont's suggestion of retaining the higher charting release is a good approach. 1292simon (talk) 22:13, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
