In retrospect, merge & redirect would be the way forward and is partially the concensus from the previous AfD -

The concept of "unbirthday" existed for 80 years before it was a song - it isn't really sensible to make that move. The article makes things clear - there is no need to clarify in the title. If you have to - how about Unbirthday (Lewis Carroll) ? --

The problem is whether or not it warrants an article on its own - As a neologism, coined in a work of literature, is it in widespread use, and are there multiple, non-trivial mentions of this -

I believe the term Unbirthday was used in the "Lemony Snicket" series of books A Series of Unfortunate Events. I believe it was the in the first book, but it has been a long time since I have read any of the series so I may be mistaken. —Preceding

The Disney "unbirthday" song was revived for use by anti-war (Viet Nam) protesters when the draft lotteries (which were based upon men's birthdays) were taking place.
