Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To?) (Diana Ross song)
The article duplicates material in Mahogany (1975 film), and should be a redirect. User:FuriousFreddy has been trying to do this, but User:OmegaWikipedia insists on reverting. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 09:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Redirect (may need protecting).. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 09:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect and protect. -- Kjkolb 09:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * (Not sure if my vote counts for anything), but redirect and protect. --FuriousFreddy 11:12, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Mahogany and "Do You Know Where You're Going To" need to be seperate articles. One is about a movie, another one is about a #1 single. Surely, the articles for Titanic and My Heart Will Go On do not get merged as one article. OmegaWikipedia 12:36, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The single is the theme song to a movie. Are we going to have seperate articles on every Disney song from every Disney movie? --FuriousFreddy 21:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Why not? Wiki is not paper. I personally think that merging would create bloat and that redirecting would be a nonsense reply to the problem that doesn't really solve anything. Keep. --Jacquelyn Marie 22:12, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per OmegaWikipedia. Theme from Mahogany is an independently notable song as witnessed by the huge number of cover versions over the years (including at least one that was made its own article, albeit AFD'd), and Diana Ross' version is the preeminent recording of this song. If the material in the article is too much a carbon copy of the movie article, then be bold and rewrite it. 23skidoo 14:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * When it gets rewritten, it can be kept. I don't have any information o nteh record beyond basics, nor do I have the time to go out of my way to research it. And I've never heard of a single cover of the song notable enough for its own article. If someone can write an article with information that is not redundant with an article on the movie, then do so. However, as it stands now, the article should be redirected. --FuriousFreddy 21:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Isn't the whole point of wikipedia to let the article stay and have people who do have the information make it better?

 * Keep. Movies are not songs, and vice versa. Kappa 23:12, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * But who said that they were? When a song title redirects to the singer, that's not because we think that singers are songs or vice versa. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 11:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - The song is enough of a distinct entity from the movie to have its own article. I was a teenager in the 70's and listened to a lot of pop radio. I have clear memories of this song as being representative of that era in music, whereas I've never watched the movie in its entirety.  LiniShu 03:50, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Popular song by notable artist. Capitalistroadster 09:13, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, don't merge. Everyking 07:40, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
