Merging to O Tannenbaum is inappropriate as there are thousands of other recordings, many more notable than this. If this can't be kept or merged into They Might Be Giants discography, the article should be deleted. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 16:03, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:COVERSONG so merging is not an option and fails WP:GNG so deletion seems reasonable. I write all this without having done a search for sources. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:35, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Completely non-notable recording of a Christmas song, largely sourced to first party liner notes. Not really worth a redirect, considering it's not particularly a likely search term, between the lengthy disambiguation and the fact that it's not really their song at all.

Delete/Merge/Redirect (to band's discography) Non-notable cover (which is why I removed from the article it had been inappropriately merged to). Question is whether whatever usable content can go in the band's discography article - lacking a search for further sources, I'll remain neutral on that. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 20:02, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the information about the recording this song could be merged into They Might Be Giants In... Holidayland which includes this song, particularly the information referenced to the liner notes for that particular EP, but I wouldn't be opposed to an outright deletion. A redirect is definitely not an option because hardly anybody looking for "O Tannenbaum"" is going to be looking for the TMBG version – there are plenty more famous versions of the song than this one.
