I have seen remixes worthy of stand-alone articles like "Save Your Tears" and "Die for You", which both peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and were certified multi-platinum in multiple countries but somehow they are buried under another article's section. The remix versions of "Crazy Story" aren't that convincing especially when some of their content is not verifiable. dxneo (talk) 04:46, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Dxneo I couldn't agree more. I don't think I've ever seen remixes having articles of their own, not to mention there are many more remixes that meet more guidelines for independent articles yet are still used as a section of the original song's Wikipedia page only. Unlike other song series like Drake's "AM/PM" and Kendrick Lamar's "The Heart", "Crazy Story" is somewhat treated as separate parts of one song, with similar lyrical content and instrumentals. I didn't expect Part 2 or 3 of "Crazy Story" to be written in separate articles and support your proposal for a merge. MC-123 (talk) 23:39, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
