The result was redirect to Why So Serious? – The Misconceptions of Me. Clear consensus that we should not keep this as a standalone article, but sufficient support for a redirect to the album. Michig (talk) 08:47, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Song fails WP:GNG. Song was released digitally as part of an album and charted poorly. There is no evidence the song generated significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. The discussion about the song is all record reviews of the song by the usual kpop promo machine, as part of reviews of the entire album. The rest is padding with superfluous information about the personnel and descriptions of performances at Shinee events. Shinyang-i (talk) 22:02, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge or Redirect to Why So Serious? – The Misconceptions of Me: Not even a single, so why does it have it's own article in the first place? Tibbydibby (talk) 00:19, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The song was performed several times, for their showcase for example where many reporters were present, was praised in many reviews and it was downloaded often enough to rank in the Top 50. The site just needs more sources, why should it be deleted? I have seen song sites of western artists which had less text but still got an own site. Seriously, you guys are just way too fast to delete some good articles just because it lacks some sources, give other users the chance to improve it without deleting it.--46.115.144.142 (talk) 14:56, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment. By all means, feel free to AFD those western song articles you feel are bad. And if you can actually find content to add to these many, many random song articles, please do. By the way, "content" does not include a big list of every place the song was ever performed. Fact is, these articles never get beyond stubs with no real information in them, because the songs are non-notable and haven't been significantly written about independently in several reliable sources. What is there to actually say about them? Visit WP:SONG: "Most songs do not merit an article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for a prominent album or for the artist who wrote or prominently performed the song." Most singles shouldn't even have articles, so why should numerous non-promotional album tracks? Shinyang-i (talk) 00:33, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete (as above). I have no objection to a redirect to the article on the album. Neutrality^talk 05:18, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
