The main issue is the lack of notability. Upon a web search, there is clearly confusion between "Rupert the Bear" (an unreleased album) and "Rupert the Bear and the Frog Song." The guideline for unreleased material setup by WP:Music suggests that if this was a scrapped album by the Paul McCartney, then it belongs on his main page, and not a independent article. However, as I can imagine, there would be a few editors that would object. // Posted by larsona (Talk) // 03:06, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

• Comment: If parts of the album were worked into the animated film, then we could probably justify an article on one thing rather than two articles on both the film and the album. I am finding some passing mentions of the album, but they're all pretty much in passing. ([1]) So maybe a merge into the film's article? Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:18, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

• Comment: We should probably keep the redirect, whether or not the album article is kept. Rupert Bear or The Adventures of Rupert Bear (as "Rupert The Bear" occurs only in the theme song to the TV series) seem like appropriate targets. Tevildo (talk) 21:14, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

• Merge to Rupert and the Frog Song as per above editors. Not enough in-depth coverage to warrant a standalone article. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:55, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
