Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to not merge Lewismaster (talk) 08:46, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that Freewheel Burning and Some Heads Are Gonna Roll be merged into Defenders of the Faith. The contents of Freewheel Burning and Some Heads Are Gonna Roll could easily be explained in the context of Defenders of the Faith. Really, this article needs to be expanded, and a section devoted perhaps to musical style or songs would provide the information present in both song articles. In addition, I believe both songs fail WP:NSONGS, in that they lack citations and are therefore mostly WP:OR. I, of course, believe that reliable sources are out there that discuss these songs, they just aren't notable enough to have their own separate articles.

They are the singles from the album, and every other album on Wikipedia has separate pages for the singles from an album, so why not this one? The separate pages allow the songs to be talked about in more detail without overcrowding the main album page. More text is good for collectors, if you enjoy a song and want to read as much about it as possible you don't want it to be briefly mentioned in the main article, but talked about in more detail. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.112.149 (talk) 18:19, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge – Both fail WP:NSONGS. The1337gamer (talk) 14:00, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't merge - Actually the singles charted in the UK and in the US and were covered by other bands. Two factors of notability according to WP:NSONGS. Lewismaster (talk) 09:44, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
