Making Oklahoma just a Redirect page[edit]

I wonder what is the reason for making this just a Redirect page. It is a legitimate Top 40 single on the Billboard country charts. The album page of One Voice simply gives chart positions without any background information. It is quite a famous song and mentioned at par with the single "One Voice" to the same performer.

Also note somebody created "Billy Gilman Songs" category. Now thanks to the deletion of this song page and making it a redirect, that "Billy Gilman songs" category has become a one song category, so practically useless and redundant. That's whay deleting the Oklahoma page has done just one day after its creation. I would have thought we should highlight more Billy Gilman successes (a top 40 valid success) instead of relegating them even further. Here is the text I had before deletion:

Oklahoma^[1] was the second successful single of Billy Gilman and released in 2001 as a follow-up to One Voice, the 2000 successful country single and is similarly taken from Gilman's the debut album One Voice.

The single became a Top 40 hit on the Billboard country music charts reaching #33. The single also reached #63 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album from which the single is taken was certified two-times Multi-platinum in the United States. I ALSO ATTACHED A TABLE OF POSITIONS as well
