Return to Oz (song)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article completely fails WP:NSONGS. It is a single track off of an album that I previously redirected it to, but this was recently disputed. Therefore, I am seeking that it be officially taken care of at AFD.

All mentions of "Return to Oz" are in its capacity as a single track off of the Scissor Sisters album. The extensive analysis section is full of original research that is tenuously sourced to the various links at the bottom. Even though I originally turned this five year old mess into a redirect, I do not think that a disambiguated page is of any use as a redirect, but this could be an equally as viable option rather than deletion. —Ryulong (竜龙) 03:23, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Merge into Scissor Sisters (album) if there's anything worth saving. Eomund (talk) 03:36, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it's poorly written and fails WP:NSONG. Eeekster (talk) 05:27, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and merge, lovingly and carefully preserving any useful content in the parent article, and pasting any not-so-useful content to a section on the talk page so that it can be worked into the article if anyone chooses to do so. Whatever its merits, I agree that the original nuking of c.7000 characters of content was over-the-top, WP:BOLD notwithstanding. SP-KP (talk) 09:37, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
