Wikipedia talk:Mergers for discussion/Killing Yourself to Live

First WP:Mergers for discussion article discussion

Song stubs are to music articles what in-universe fictional character fanpages are to fiction articles: unencyclopedic (usually per WP:NOTE and WP:OR) micro-spinoffs unwaveringly Keep-!voted by fans of the parent topic. Discounting Keep !votes (which would normally be unfair, but please read on), the discussion consensus break down like this:

Wikipedia:Mergers for discussion/Killing Yourself to Live – mostly Merge
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Killing Yourself to Live – mostly Delete

Is anyone surprised? Is any of this helpful?

I could have picked an article not up for AfD (song stubs certainly abound), but I think the problem of separate venues for non-freestanding article subjects is demonstrated here. / edg ☺ ☭ 13:58, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added {{Mergeto}} tags leading to this discussion ([1] [2] [3]) in hopes of drawing some of that AfD's Keep voters here—I'm wondering if they will consider Merge an acceptable option, or just vote Keep here as well. / edg ☺ ☭ 14:10, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It would be cool to try it on the articles at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers. I was going to do one, but I don't want to use that little old merge template we have. I'm thinking we need a template that shows we mean business (even if its unclear at this point if we do mean business or not). - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 01:08, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
