[edit] Merge this?

The Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer article is being flagged for non-notability. Would it be appropriate to merge it with this article instead?

"Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer" is a nursery rhyme similar to Ten Green Bottles in its format. The text is as follows:

Five little men in a flying saucer
Flew to the Moon one day.
They looked left and right
But they didn't like the sight,
So one man flew away.

The verse is then repeated, but with one little man fewer each time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lee M (talk • contribs) 20:52, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Word Choice

I don't know if Google results count as research, but "ten green bottles hanging" gets 349 Google hits, whereas "ten green bottles sitting" gets only 32. I'm going to be bold and edit the article accordingly. --The Lazar 20:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

It was "standing" when I went to school. -- Smjg 01:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I think the article will probably benefit by identifying all 3 variations, without attempting to indicate which is most popular. 217.28.34.132 (talk) 17:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
