The result was Redraftify and split. Pretty clear consensus that the article is not yet ready for mainspace as it's questionable that circumcision and female genital mutilation should have been combined in the same topic.

The article has been separated into two entirely separate sections, which destroys the apparent purpose of the article. Separate articles already exist about each of the two separated sections (see and
Prevalence of female genital mutilation by country and
Prevalence of circumcision). The purpose of the article seems to be to study the phenomena of male and female genital cutting as potentially correlated issues. If the article itself does not consider the phenomena together, it appears to have no value. —

Delete or redraftify. This was moved prematurely from draftspace and should be deleted or moved back. Comparing the figures on one page seeks to draw a false equivalence between FGM and circumcision, which is original research. In addition, I oppose hosting any "list" article (as part of this list or separately) on the legality and
prevalence of FGM, which are complex issues. We already have
Prevalence of female genital mutilation by country. There are four types of FGM and multiple sub-types. For most countries, there are no nationally representative figures, and there are several countries in which some types are banned but not others, or it is banned outside hospital only, or banned only for minors. Each country would have to be individually sourced and kept updated, which would be a lot of work, and the author of this list has shown no interest in doing it.

Delete or redraftify. "The purpose of the article seems to be to study the phenomena of male and female genital cutting as potentially correlated issues" – Indeed. Unfortunately, in the absence of reliable sources which study potential correlations, the article is riddled with original research. The nominator has it wrong on one count: it's not a matter of whether the article has value or not; it's simply a matter of whether the topic has sufficient reliable sources studying it for us to make an article. While these are being sought, the article should not be mainspace because of the concerns that
Sarah indicates. --

Split into two lists, each with a prominent link to the Prevalence of... prose articles. I considered the possibility of merging it with the relate Prevalence of... articles, but I don't see any easy way to make that happen. The "whole world" table doesn't fit comfortably with the continent-by-continent article. However, if someone else thinks that would be a good idea, then I'm okay with it, too. As a side note, I don't really see any policy-based reason for deleting (rather than splitting or merging). I can see ways to improve the table, especially by adding a "Notes" section that allows some detailed explanations or links to more detailed explanations, but that's just a matter of improving the page, and
Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup.

Split and draftying both articles until sufficiently salient research is available. It is critically important that sources are right, and it is the correct research that being used. scope_creepTalk14:19, 24 October 2019 (UTC)reply
Draftify per the above comments and split per @
Reywas92: as I don't think the recent merge of circumcision and female genital mutilation was helpful. There are legitimate reasons, religious, hygienic, and the like, for the former whereas I can't think of any legitimate reasons for the latter. In short, as Reywas92 says, the two should not be confused.--

@
NuandaLM: Importance is assessed on Wikipedia by how much sources unconnected with a given topic have seen fit to say about it - i.e., how much independent coverage is available. For scientific findings or theories, that means that a sufficient number of other researchers must have taken up and/or discussed the item, and/or that the non-scientific press must have covered it. Both of these seem to be lacking for
Distributed liquidity at the moment. A discussion in a book is the kind of coverage that can usefully contribute to the threshold. But it won't suffice on its own - we would need a number of these. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not the place to raise awareness for or popularize something - we merely document what people are already writing about. It may just be

Delete A self-promoting artist who claims to be signed to a major label merely by using the company’s distribution services. Thus, we have this person creating their own vanity label—LarkMusic—and by becoming a client of a widely available service (EMPIRE, which represents many notable and non-notable labels and both established and aspiring artists) promotes it as being “signed to a major label.” Notability is not conferred by association; the notability here has to be evident for LarkMusic, which isn't. His acting career, as pointed out, consist of minor roles deep in cast listings or boasts of appearances that are uncredited in IMDB listings. The sourcing is junk (self-downloads, social media, small-time blogs, press-releases) and the article is written in a promotional, peacock-style. At best, he is building his career—which includes self-promotion—but has not achieved notability yet, so

A person has to have multiple significant roles, not just one, if you're going for "notable because they've been in stuff", and a person has to have considerably more than just one reference if you're going for "notable because they have press coverage".

Barring that, there's
five lines at a broader entry over a two-volume encyclopedia by

Both do mention the awards. It won 2 awards, but I am unconvinced that there are more sources than those 2. My efforts to find more sources on google do not give any reliable, independent, results.

That's you drawing a conclusion about how notable he is based on several trivial mentions. We do not give value to any of those things for notability.

Howareyoutheyus (
talk) 15:54, 11 October 2019 (UTC+1)
Howareyoutheyus You may be misunderstanding the policies and guidelines, I hope this helps to clarify. Artnet is a paid subscription database directory that tracks auction sales, it is not a reliable source for the importance of an artist. It does not matter whatsoever if one of his lithographs sold for $1,800 at an auction; that does not establish notability. An in-depth article or review in the New York Times or Le Monde or Le Parisien is a reliable source that can count towards notability. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of artists sell work, and exhibit work, and have mentions in publications. Not all of these very ordinary occurrences are important enough to establish notability. If an artist simply has a mention in a publication, rather than an in-depth article or review written from an art-critical or art historical perspective, it is not considered important enough to establish notability. Listings and blogs are often something clipped from a press release, they are not in-depth coverage. They are simply informing the public of an event. If an artist shows at non-notable galleries, or, in the case of Pierre Kiandjan, in furniture and design stores, that is not the same as showing at the Museum of Modern Art or another notable museum. Whether it is a one-person show or a group show is also taken into consideration, as is whether that artist is in the permanent collections of important notable museums - and these need to be backed-up by references. You claim that Mr. Kiandjan's fame is indicated by being "featured" on the cover of a magazine - this, with all due respect, is untrue. The magazine cover is for apartment design, and there happens to be a small work of his leaning on a desk; there is no mention of Mr. Kiandjan - he is not the feature of the magazine cover.

Netherzone First you're wrong because Pierre Kiandjan is mentionned by
Le Journal de la maison, unless you didn't want to see that mention. You've done another big mistake : be careful not to mix artists just selling art you're talking about and known artists on the art market, they're absolutely not the same. Artnet is a notable artists database, however you agree or not. Moreover your speech about in-depth articles is paradoxical : an article in Le Parisien - in-depth or not - is less reliable to establish notability than belonging to Artnet database.
Howareyoutheyus (
talk) 17:21, 11 October 2019 (UTC+1)
Howareyoutheyus Sorry to disappoint, but this is not an in-depth art-critical, art-historical article or review on Kiandjan. The article is about the apartment and the apartment designer. It discusses Xavier de St. Jean and Azimut Studio for interior decoration. It is not about Pierre Kianjidan. For example, “The owner wanted a kitchen dining room, a living room, two bedrooms with dressing room, a bathroom with separate toilet, a laundry room and a floor under the slope to create a guest room or office.” It then discusses construction and insulation materials used in the apartment. The only mention of Mr. Kiandjan is embedded in captions of two of seven photos: “Custom carpentry and standard cabinets make the most of the wall surface playing with the raster effect. Sofa "Facett", Ligne Roset. Paintings by Pierre Kiandjan including "Rouge Express" (left).” The other caption: “The bathroom combines black and blue. Color tiles and material at Ceramica Paris. Round mirror by Hay. Artwork of Pierre Kiandjan.” I think you may be misinterpreting the guidelines and policies for what constitutes notability.

Vexations, your latest assertion is a bit confused because it has two possible meanings : either you're telling he's not notable then
you couldn't be more wrong, or you're telling that his article only needs to be updated to reflect more his effective notability and then confirming that such a collaboration is a reliable source. (

Howareyoutheyus respectfully, the discussion of
Alex Gopher's notability should be taken to the talk page of Gopher's article. If I'm not mistaken, I think
Vexations may have been making a point that
WP:NOTINHERITED. An artist designing an EP cover for another artist does not establish notability; hundreds of thousands of artists have done so. Also, a friendly reminder to please remember to sign your posts using four tildes (~).

Netherzone By saying "none of which indicate that Gopher himself is notable",
Vexations was obviously only - and wrongly - talking about Gopher notability, nothing else. Also, such a collaboration isn't displayed within
WP:NOTINHERITED forbidden arguments.

@
Howareyoutheyus:, if you had bothered to read
WP:RS and
WP:N as suggested, we would not have to waste time explaining this to you over and over again. these policies explain why this artist is not notable. Independent, in depth sources do not exist. Every source you have brought up is just a trivial mention. Anyway, you have made your point. In a couple of days this will be deleted and we can all move on.

I was pointing out that notability cannot be established by association with someone who is not notable himself. That resembles the explanatory notes at WP:NOTINHERITED, except that in this case, my objection is even stronger. Not only is "Gopher is notable, Kiandjan worked with Gopher, therefor Kiandjan is notable" an argument that should be avoided, but the argument that Kiandjan is notable because he worked with Gopher neither valid nor sound because one of the premises is false. Arguing that Gopher is notable doesn't makes any difference for this AfD, because even if it were true that Gopher is notable, we'd still reject the conclusion that Kiandjan is notable because consensus is that that kind of reasoning is not valid, regardless of the truth of the premises. The way to establish the notability of a subject is through independent, reliable sources. If they exist, I will revise my assessment to a keep, and I'm confident that all the other experienced editors here will do the same.

Vexations Your hasty rejection of Gopher's notablity proves that you're easily rejecting too fast anyone's notability. The collaboration with Gopher isn't just "working with" but making a record art, and no rule prevents this argument from being a reliable source. Also, you can't fairly question Kiandjan's notability till you haven't reasonably refuted that Artnet is a reliable source and a featuring on Le Journal de la Maison's cover is at least as reliable as an article in Le Parisien, that
Netherzone quoted as an exemple of reliable source.
Howareyoutheyus (

Howareyoutheyus Artnet is a generally a reliable source, but we're not categorical about sources. Each time
we evaluate a source in context. In this case artnet does not offer significant coverage. The only information we can get from artnet is that a 2014 work by Kiandjan was sold at auction on December 7, 2018. While such sources can be occasionally used to verify the details of an article, they do not establish that the subject is notable; there is no analysis by an expert (a reputable critic, scholar, art historian) that says anything about the work. Coverage needs to be significant. As far as my supposed inability to assess a subject's notability goes, I'll refer you to my AfD stats. Without considering "No Consensus" results, 94.4% of AfD's I participated in were matches , and that's not because I vote late to artificially inflate my score. I do my research. Attacking my integrity and competence is bordering on a
personal attack and I suggest you withdraw it if you want to keep your editing privileges. I'm more than patient with people who are new to AfD and not yet familiar with our policies and guidelines, but unless you agree to
WP:AGF and strike your comments about me, I'm done here.

Dear
Vexations, Keeping an improvised and hypothetical point of view and looking for any possible argument that could support it doesn't fit with WP:AGF. Indeed, while my arguments are steady, yours are fluctuating. Also fortunately, not every sold artist can be featured on Artnet, but only notable ones, and it's an absolute rule. As I already told before, fact than one piece is displayed isn't less important than two or more for the same reasons as a 150 words article on Wikipedia isn't less important than à 1 000 000 words article.

Howareyoutheyus That is yet another misrepresentation. Widewalls is a vanity blog site where an artist can upload their own information as self-promotion. It is yet another primary source, which is not a RS. The blog "article" was published the day you added it to the WP article, and if you scroll to the bottom of the the blog it clearly states: "Text and images courtesy of the artist." - If the text is provided by the artist it is not a NPOV independent secondary reliable source. It is simply a blog for artists to advertise themselves, it is not critical/arthistorical in-depth coverage.

Keep, but only just. The article claims that the band was the subject of an Emmy-award nominated documentary on PBS and provides two sources, one of which is a dead redirect but the other does point to an archived page at the Wayback Machine. I'm not sure about the
reliability of the given source, but I see no reason to treat it as unreliable as it doesn't appear to be
self-published or affiliated. Criterion 12 of
Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles states [musicians] may be notable if [they have] been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.

"Winter sports" is not a sport, but a collection of rather disparate sports, some Olympic, some not. I had sent this article to draft space and explained why at
User talk:Dwanyewest/Archive 2#Sports in the US articles, but it has been resurrected with mainly the same problems the original had.
It is a
coatrack article mixing different topics and pulling some
original research conclusions from flimsy sources.
The lead is a typical example; "is a sport which has only limited popular support"? It isn't a sport, and the source used to reference this states "Snow-based recreation contributes $67 billion annually and supports over 900,000 jobs in the United States.", which hardly shows evidence of "limited popular support". And the source is only about "snow-based recreation" (not sport!), so it excludes ice skating and ice hockey, to name just those two.
"Biathlon is something Americans have been successful at internationally" is sourced to an article naming biathlon as the one winter sport the US never medalled in at the Olympics, and only in 2017 at the World Championships. Basically, the source flatly contradicts the statement in our article.
"The United States is a traditional power house in winter sports" is sourced to an article that states that before the introduction of more "extreme" sports (snowboarding or freestyle skiing) in 1994, the US were not a power house but an also-ran compared to their results at the Summer games:
"The U.S. Stunk At The Winter Olympics Until Extreme Sports Came Along " is the title, which says it all.
Second, I agree with
Chris857, that this article is about a notable topic, suitable for a standalone article - provided there is no earlier article that already covered the topic. If there is an earlier, superior article I think deletion would be inappropriate. A redirect, or a merge and redirect, preserving the history, would be appropriate. Why preserve the history? Because it contains references and possibly other elements worthy of being cannibalized.
Keep As the existence of these other articles shows, and the notability of not only specific winter sports, but groups and people well within that, should be more than enough to justify the existence of this article. Perhaps it is in need of improvement, I won't argue with that, but it is nonetheless not in any way worth deletion at this time.

Keep If a badly written article can be improved, then that should be done instead of deletion per
WP:ATD. I don't think there is any doubt that the topic is notable (there are for example numerous books on the single subject of ice hockey in the US alone), and it can be turned into a properly-written article. I see no other reason that would satisfy
WP:DEL-REASON.

The wiki has almost no sources at all. It seems to be written by the subject, as many of the contributions seem to be done the subject himself, with a couple of usernames, including JJackman. This is not neutral writing. The lack of sources in this article, and the lack of notability for the subject make it seem unimportant and not actually viable for a Wikipedia article.

This is a organisation that lacks
significant independent coverage in
reliable sources to establish
notability. The provided references do not establish notability. (1) The chamber's own web site is not an independent source. (2) The Saudi Embassy page on document certification simply lists this organisation as one of many offices that can receive certain types of certifying documents. A directory entry does not establish notability. My own searches for sources do not turn up anything. Note that there are other entities with "US Arab Chamber of Commerce" in the name like "National US Arab Chamber of Commerce" and " Bilateral US Arab Chamber of Commerce" which are not the same organisation. I also found some organisations with the same name in book searches but these do not appear to the be the same company as their HQ do not match with the one written about here. And in any case, those book search results are directory like entries and would not help in establishing notability.

Delete clearly a non-notable coach. Having recently gone through many coach articles, I have doubts that everyone who ever was a head coach of football at a school that is currently NCAA Division 1 in football is notable. Although I have to admit being hesitant to start this new deletion campaign since it would only elimante articles on a few marginal coaches from long ago and would not do anything to work against Wikipedia's very abundant presentist bias. Currently 1989 is the year with the most articles in its birth year category. There are lots of bios that lack birth dates, primarily for living people, which might if better covered move the top year a few years back, but I have my doubts. Smith is clearly not notable.

A BLP with no direct sources. Also, it's an orphan. The only things preventing a PROD are the external links, none of which seems to establish the notability of the subject. From an internet search, neither the subject nor his New York Festivals award is notable under
WP:GNG. Similarly, this subject does not meet
WP:NACTOR and
WP:NMUSIC, which I checked just in case.

Comment: It's worth mentioning that this article might be able to survive if it is fleshed out a bit; the Godzilla franchise has been heavily covered by reliable reference books from the likes of Kodansha and Shogakukan from the Showa era right the way through to the present day, and Godzilla 2000 (and thus Orga by extension) has been covered by several more recent reference books as a result; Wikizilla and Toho Kingdom both cite these books, and provide reference lists which could be of use to potential editors.--

The result was speedy keep. The articles I was sent via email each contain a decent paragraph each, and are independent of the subject.

I'd say so but I've sent you an e-mail with the text of each so you can evaluate. I also threw in a third review, from The Sunday Business Post. All three reviews are short but they're clearly independent and critical reviews and not just blurbs or paid coverage.

Keep - The "three paragraph long blog-post" is a post on the AMC blog (that is the blog of the television channel) by John Brownlee, a journalist/reviewer apparently active in the field of sci-fi. This doesn't appear to be the self-published work that the nom is implying but probably isn't
WP:SIGCOV as only one the paras is actually talking about the subject.
As far as I can tell,
Cylons In Americ book dedicates one paragraph (on. p. 95) and few mentions in passing to the Raider; and I don't see anything that goes beyond primary description of this plot device ("CR is a biomechanical ship..." etc.). I don't think that the
News Atlas is a major news outlet, hardly better than a blog, and a paragraph discussing how the movie prop goes on sale is hardly significant coverage of the topic, neither is a model review in a niche model-focused blog/trade publication. You did a pretty good job finding this, but in the end all we have is a paragraph in book that can be used to replace PRIMARY sources for some fictional description, and
WP:ONEEVENT-like niche publications about the movie prop being sold and a model being released. Sorry, this still doesn't seem like a topic for encyclopedia. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

New Atlas is a clear
WP:NEWSORG pass as they have an editorial team and editorial policy (linked above), the paragraph discusses the topic in detail. Same goes for Cylons in America.
WP:ONEEVENT is a guide for
WP:BLP articles so I have no idea why you are referencing it here (is the Cylon Raider a living person?) - it's purpose is to make the article about the event rather than the person involved so it's not even a stand-alone
WP:DELREASON. The modelling magazine is not a blog or trade publication (
and it being a trade publication would only matter if this was an article about a company because that's a WP:CORP guide - its purpose is to stop companies manufacturing notability for themselves) and is clearly
WP:SIGCOV. So, in the end, if you ignore all the references sustaining notability then you may conclude that a subject is not notable, but this is not what we do here at AFD.

"the paragraph discusses the topic in detail". Here's a big problem. In-depth discussion is generally hard to find in a paragraph. Paragraph may be better than a single sentence, but overall is rarely sufficient to meet in-depth requirement. If something is discussed only in a paragraph, it is probably not notable. And so far all the sources we have here are just this - paragraph (at best, sentence in some cases) mentions of the topic in more general overviews of the BG fanchise. Like your first extra links, 15 ships from BG. Sure, every gets a sentence or two - but that's not enough to make any of them notable. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

It's an adaptation of the original work - similar to a film made from a book, or a translation into another language or so-forth - this is very obviously not a situation where we're talking about inherited notability because that's where you assume notability of a small element in a larger, more notable work (unless you think the model is the larger work?). Saying its "semi-related" means its related, which it obviously is as its a direct representation of the subject.

So Say We All: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Battlestar Galactica also gives
WP:SIGCOV to the development of the Cylon Raider design - note that this coverage is in the (small-font) author-written sections and not only in the interview section, although the interviewees do also provide an extensive discussion of the design of the raider.

Redirect - Most of the above sources are trivial mentions. Toy reviews are in no way a sign of notability on a topic unless that review is in some way special, the toy in particular being reviewed for some special reason. Otherwise, it's just one of many cookie cutter reviews on that site, which shows that review has no weight. Production information is good, but it should be placed into the main article if there is no other real world context on which to build an article.

Delete. Written so increadibly badly that the article is incomprehensible even to the experts, so much so that the page is a borderline
WP:A1 case. I am a professional mathematician myself and I have no idea what the page is talking about. There are no definitions of any kind, the topic of the article is not coherently described, the various quantities/notations/variables used are not defined or explained, and there are no clearly idetifiable and properly formulated mathematical statements. Basically just a bunch of incoherent semi-mathematical verbiage. In mathematics we refer to this kind of text as "not even wrong".

I happen to have a very clear understanding of the basic probit regression model, and I am sure I could explain it (teach it) a lot better than is done in the current
probit model article. About heterogeneity, and/or about endogenous explanatory variables, I could not do that. I am more in the category of wishing that this article were far better/clearer than it is, so that I could understand it properly. This article should be written at level comprehensible to someone who has taken coursework about equivalent to that required for a masters degree in statistics, I think. Perhaps this article should be split into different topics, or revamped considerably to cover multiple refinements of the basic probit model including heterogeneity of errors, endogeneity, more variations. I cannot say that editor
Bender235 is wrong, in their estimation that the variation(s) addressed in this article are relatively obscure. But I think the solution would be to revise and to expand this, and re-title it as appropriate. Probably there should be one article (this article should be revised to become) on variations upon the basic probit regression model. Sticking to binary responses, setting aside extension of the basic model to multiple levels of responses. --

Delete - I think this article fails a number of points on
WP:NOT. It is a text-book style article and as such fails
Wikipedia is not a text book. It also appears to be a how-to style article and thus fails
WP:NOTMANUAL. It is not written in accessible language and thus fails the "no academic language" requirement. Moreover, whilst I see a number of supporting references in the article, all I can see are the titles, so I do not know if they directly support the notability of this topic, so I have concerns about the extent to which
WP:GNG is actually met - whilst I am assuming the good faith of the editors who added it to the article it would be good to have this confirmed by someone with access to these journals. Also, this is a
WP:REDUNDANTFORK or even
WP:POVFORK (since it is avoiding
WP:UNDUE) of

Question - In the previous discussion, another user
doncram indicated that it would be inappropriate to merge this article with
probit model. If that's true, then can this doncram (or anyone else with expertise) provide a clarification for why the content could not be included as a subsection of that article? The article itself is not especially long so it's not a space issue , but if there's a technical reason why presenting this information as a separate subsection under that main heading is inappropriate then it may be best to not merge it and to leave it as a standalone article as now with an explanation for why it's kept separate documented in the talk page.

Sure, that's easy. This article cannot be merged to the
probit model article because this topic is too complicated. The "probit model" article actually should be simpler than it is. For example, it should have graphics explaining the model much more clearly (I wish i could easily provide those... I could hand-sketch what is needed, but I currently can't generate good 3-D graphics). It probably should have one or maybe two well-chosen example applications. Mainly, it should be written to be accessible to persons having a basic understanding of statistics, such as from just one statistics course in college or just one "Data and statistics" type course in business school, say. It should clearly lay out the idea of probit regression following from a few "simple" assumptions. The ideas of heterogeneity and endogeneity are far, far, far too much for the first, introductory article about probit regression.
If this article were merged with the probit model article, then the only sensible options, for editors of that article, would be to split the merged material right back out again, or entirely delete it all. --

Thank you for the clarification. With that additional context, it does seem logical to keep this article as it is and, probably on the talk page, discuss trimming it down so that it is at the appropriate level of language. It might also be useful to have an external link pointing to this article in
probit model, similar to how we have related articles point to each other.

You're welcome. :) Yes, a "See also" type link at the bottom of that page is appropriate. (It wouldn't be labelled an "External link", because those go to locations outside of Wikipedia.)
Further, in the basic probit model article there is a section "Performance under misspecification" which should be removed from there, and put into a more advanced-level article. I suppose that heterogeneity and endogeneity are special cases of misspecification of the basic probit model. I think this article should be modified to cover a number of variations, each really being ways to address various misspecifications of the basic probit model.
User:bender235 somewhere above suggests, perhaps facetiously, something about covering "unbalanced panel with interaction terms" stuff; maybe that is one more type of thing to be covered as a variation? Also the normality of distribution of errors is a strong assumption which should be relaxed; the advanced article should at least suggest how assuming heavier-tailed distributions is probably almost always better (because in any real application there are no doubt unmeasured, omitted explanatory variables, which in effect cause greater variation in outcome than would be expected in the simple model) and can actually be easily addressed... logit regression is one alternative different only in this way. Assuming Cauchy/other stable distribution function are options, maybe adding one or two more parameters to be estimated. Offhand, I am not sure how to rank the importance of the various variations. --
Doncram (

Also, by the way, the basic probit model article should not have to cover Berkson's whatever and Gibbs sampling, which I think might both be considered computational/solution aspects. Computation/solution method stuff should probably be covered in a different advanced-level article. About computation, the basic article should include just the assertion that the maximum likelihood surface is convex and has just one maximum to be found (i.e., under the assumptions of the probit model, for any one data set there is just one "best-fitting" set of coefficient estimates, and these can be found by a simple search process ...there are no local maxima to worry about), and brief suggestion of one simple approach to finding way to the maximum should be given there. --

Strong keep - It's clear that some of the contributors to this discussion lack subject matter expertise on this topic, but to clarify this topic cannot be comfortably folded into

Not a valid disambig since both refer to the same song. (It was also the B-side to "
