American Pie (Madonna song)
This is a procedural nomination. I removed the section in
WP:NMUSIC (the song was number one in over a dozen national charts, and went platinum or gold in half a dozen). As such, this should be kept as a standalone article, notwithstanding some Wikiproject's attempt to override sitewide consensus. Thus, the easiest way to find a clear decision community consensus is to open an AfD. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:53, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply

- Procedural close as AFD is not dispute resolution - both involved editors consider the content notable, this is simply an argument over split vs merge. No criticism for the bold split but after reversion took place a discussion should have been opened, per ]
- This isn't a split. This is a new article created from content that happened to be in another Wikipedia article. The other editor is essentially using redirection as a form of summary deletion without discussion. AfD is the best way to get that discussion. Am I wikilawyering? Perhaps, but it's something I almost never do. Furthermore, note that, as a general rule, I am a mergist and deletionist, and even I'm saying that it's unbelievably obvious that merging this is absolutely unacceptable. The other editor is somehow arguing that the default position is merge, based upon a Wikiproject page, which is ludicrous for a subject this obviously notable. Since the other editor is insisting that I somehow have to generate a consensus for the default position, this is the easiest way to establish what the correct position is.
