== Merger proposal ==

I propose merging the following articles into this one Love & Hate (Hyolyn album):

All the song articles are bare bones, with nothing except chart placements. The album article is also pretty short. All the subjects would be better off combined in one, higher quality article instead of strung out over six articles. Most songs do not merit their own articles, per WP:SONGS, so we can fix that problem through merging. Shinyang-i (talk) 09:18, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am of agreement, all that is needed is to add the important sections (the chart placements) into the main "Love & Hate" article and then delete the smaller individual articles.

Thanks for your opinion. The chart placements typically get put into the song discussions, and if I (or whoever merges them) forgets, we need only dig back through the history to find and replace them. That's the great thing about Wikipedia - nothing's ever lost forever so there's nothing to fear about merges. :) I'm also replacing all the broken chart links and such as I go along, an additional benefit to the resulting article.

Merge is done. There was no evidence that Red Lipstick, Don't Love Me, and Stalker were ever singles, as there were no secondary sources provided and the Gaon links were broken on the original articles. A review of the chart positions claimed did not match Gaon charts for anytime from Nov 2013 to Jan 2014. So they were all removed as there was absolutely nothing to say about them other than their inclusion on the track listing. If anyone has reliable secondary sources about them being promotional singles, then they can be re-added. Shinyang-i (talk) 04:27, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent job, good working with you Shinyang -Silevern — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silevern (talk • contribs) 18:56, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A note on formatting and content[edit]

When improving this article, please adhere to formatting and content requirements:

Song titles go in double quotation marks, such as "Lonely". This applies to all song titles, always. Don't use single quotation marks or omit quotes altogether.
Album titles go in parentheses, such as Love & Hate. This is done on Wikipedia by typing two single quotation marks before and after the text to be placed in italics.
Non-neutral language such as "Hyolyn's breathtaking vocals" are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Articles must be written with neutral language.
References to single-vendor charts such as the ones commonly cited for "all-kills" (Soridaba, Olleh, Dosirak, etc) are not to be included on Wikipedia articles. South Korea currently has ONE national chart that can be used and cited on Wikipedia, and that is Gaon. See WP:CHARTS for more information.
All information on Wikipedia must be sourced to reliable, secondary sources.

When I merged Hyolyn's song articles into this album article, I spent a lot of time removing inappropriate and improperly-formatted material. Someone added it all back (with no sources) and I had to remove it again. Please adhere to Wikipedia norms, requirements, and guidelines when improving this and any other article. Thank you.
