• Keep or (EDIT:flipped to Merge only per WP:COVERSONG) Merge to (Is This the Way to) Amarillo. The subject is notable per WP:NSONG, specifically, this song has been the subject of "multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label" in reliable sources. Particularly, it was covered by the BBC, the Guardian, as well as other reliable sources (see, e.g., [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4559345.stm 1] [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=g8fogAhxoDYC&pg=PA98&dq=%22Is+This+the+Way+to+Armadillo%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj94ZaRqPvlAhWFYsAKHeYvDjUQ6AEIKDAA#v=onepage&q=%22Is%20This%20the%20Way%20to%20Armadillo%22&f=false 2] [https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/may/17/military.samjones 3]). Alternatively, per WP:EVENT, this spoof has been the subject of sustained coverage in reliable sources (the coverage in "Sousveillance, Media and Strategic Political Communication: Iraq, USA, UK" comes from 2010 - five years after the original coverage in the BBC/Guardian articles). I could also accept merging to (Is This the Way to) Amarillo per WP:COVERSONG but I think it's not needed in this case because of the event-like nature of the subject.

• Merge to (Is This the Way to) Amarillo. This was very big at the time (I remember it well), even if it's since disappeared. No reason for a standalone article, but the info should be preserved. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:04, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
• Comment Just because you remember the song, doesn't mean the spoof with dead links is notable for Wikipedia. BlueD954 (talk) 14:37, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
• The point is clearly that it was big news at the time in the UK. Given that, I fail to see why you want it deleted instead of being merged. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN1mIerM1BQ And here it is]. Not hard to find. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:57, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

• Merge to (Is This the Way to) Amarillo since the sources found by FOARP indicate a limited amount of notability and the information and sources could be moved into the redirect target. Aoba47 (talk) 22:12, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
