Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I propose merging Lovey-Dovey (T-ara song) into this article. The song article are short and doesn't say much beyond a bunch of dates and charts, and there is probably little that could be legitimately added to it to make the article better. The material would be better served being discussed in this article instead, to fill out the album article better. Most songs fail song notability requirements, and per WP:SONGS, most songs should not have standalone articles. Please share your comments. Shinyang-i (talk) 05:29, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose. The song is notable. The article is not a stub and contains lots of useful information. The article is expandable. If you redirect it, you will prevent people from expanding it. You will deny Wikipedia the opportunity to grow. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:38, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with your assessment, but if you feel strongly then maybe we should merge the EP article into the song one? They clearly are not notable independent of each other because the EP article is a few comments about "Lovey-Dovey" and a bunch of tables. Seriously, you cannot actually believe that all of the songs you've been commenting on are all notable. Shinyang-i (talk) 16:40, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support. It doesn't make sense to have two articles when one has only two sentences of prose. The song is probably more notable than the album, but songs merge into albums, not the other way around. Again, there is nothing preventing people from expanding a merged article. Random86 (talk) 00:47, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Formats?

Anyone know the formats these EPs were released in?

CD and digital. Anything tracked on the Gaon Album Chart (such as this album) is released in physical form. Hanteo can be a good reference. It says here that Black Eyes was a CD (look under "종류"). If there were other formats, such as cassette, they'd be listed in another column on the same page or perhaps on another separate entry. (I've found some info missing on older stuff, but surely nothing by T-ara was ever on cassette or vinyl).

Digital is a little different. The album was released digitally on whatever date (I'd source something other than a retail site, if possible). However each song was purchased separately and charted separately, on the Gaon Digital Chart. The album, as one unit, was not eligible to chart on the digital chart, just the songs. That's the norm in Korea, as far as I know. You won't find Black Eyes on the digital chart. Does that answer your questions? :) Shinyang-i (talk) 19:40, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
