Issues to be mediated

What is this dispute about? What sections, sentences, or issues in the article(s) can you not agree on? If you are the editor who opened this request, list these issues to be mediated under "Primary issues".

The issues to be mediated would be properly agreed upon later, if this request for mediation is accepted.

Primary issues (added by the filing party)

1. Why are the Harry James covers of Caravan being repeatedly deleted? Despite a lengthy discussion on the Caravan talk page, the two editors are unable to reach an agreement of whether the WP:SONGCOVER criteria have been met. The latest deletion has also removed the cover by Santo & Johnny. Please provide resolution of which of the four covers should remain on the page (Santo & Johnny, Duane Eddy, Harry James, and John Wasson).

Decision of the Mediation Committee

This section should only be edited by a mediator. The Mediation Committee's representative will indicate in due course whether the request is accepted (meaning a mediator will be assigned) or rejected (meaning you will have to try a different type of dispute resolution). If the mediator asks you a question in this section, you may edit here.

• Reject. I'm going to reject this case under the discretion given to the Chairperson under prerequisite to mediation #9 that "the Committee has the discretion to refuse or refer back to other dispute resolution venues (e.g. dispute resolution noticeboard, third opinion, request for comment, or additional talk page discussion) a dispute which would benefit from additional work at lower levels of the dispute resolution process."
