fails WP:GNG, no evidence that this EP or the single ever charted The Banner talk 21:53, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or redirect - The EP was made by a notable person, so at a minimum, it should be redirected to Sabrina Carpenter. --Jax 0677 (talk) 21:59, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- As notability is not inherited: the status of the singer in not of influence on the song. (And by the way, the article about Sabrina Carpenter is started by one Sabrina Carpenter.) The Banner talk 22:08, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - First of all, anyone can use any available user name. Second, assuming that Sabrina Carpenter is not notable, this discussion needs to take place at an AFD for her. --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:55, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You see that wrong, Jax, the notability of the singer is not of any influence on the notability of the song. That are to separate discussions. The Banner talk 04:42, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If found non-notable, alternative to deletion is to redirect to singer. Did this definitely not chart anywhere? Boleyn (talk) 08:18, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - I do not disagree that the notability of the song and the notability of the artist are two separate discussions. However, per WP:NSONG, "Songs that do not rise to notability for an independent article should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song". Per WP:NALBUM, "Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting". Merging implies a redirect. --Jax 0677 (talk) 13:10, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
