::::::::Um why doesnt Strawberry Swing, White Shadows and What If have their own articles? All of them are singles and have or had a considerable amout of popularity. (However I understand that White Shadows doesnt have an article because it was released to radio stations only) There are several sources that Strawberry Swing will be a single. and as for the notability guidelines. well the song (while its not my favorite) has gained some considerable populartiy among fans and celebrities. When you say that it must be comfirmed by an indipendent source, does that mean that we cant trust Coldplay's own website? are you trying to say that "Coldplay is lying and Strawberry Swing becoming a single is not true"what in the world is your problem? I think that you just dont want the article to be made out of spite JD554. either that or your just jealous that someone decided to make the article before you. Instead of "redirecting" and "Deleating" articles like Strawberry Swing, why not ''HELP'' contribute to the article and ''MAKE IT RELIABLE''.--[[User:Coldplay Expert|Coldplay Expert]] ([[User talk:Coldplay Expert|talk]]) 00:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC) |

:::::::::I don't doubt Coldplay's website when it says "Strawberry Swing" is a single. However, being a single in itself does not make the single notable per Wikipedia's guidelines at [[WP:GNG]] or [[WP:NSONGS]] (please read them). I am not saying this out of spite or jealousy and would suggest that you also read [[WP:AGF]] before making personal attacks. --[[User:JD554|JD554]] ([[User talk:JD554|talk]]) 07:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC) |

::::::::::Oh my god, SHUT UP JD554!!! seriously. Why not '''HELP'''. All you do is "delete page" and "redirect page". it's even more annoying when it's a brand new page(!). Coldplay Expert's right, '''MAKE IT RELIABLE'''. I don't see why you're on Wikipedia anyway, if all you do is screw up things people took valuble time to make. You think you do but you don't help, you suck. Oh and Coldplay Expert, radio only singles can have their own pages (ex. "[[The Only Difference Between Suicide and Matrydome is Press Coverage]]")--[[User:Das Ansehnlisch|Das Ansehnlisch]] ([[User talk:Das Ansehnlisch|talk]]) 13:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC) |
Revision as of 13:41, 30 July 2009
Single
Just heard the track on Xfm. It's also on their playlist [1]. Looks like it might be a single. You might want to remove that redirect. MotorsportPete93 (talk) 11:44, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
- We need a reliable source to verify it's going to be a single. Lots of songs get played on radio but don't get released as a single. --JD554 (talk) 12:02, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
- It is a single now. The announcement came out to the Coldplay mailing list and appeared on their website this morning. The article, as it was at the last revision, however, is terrible and sounds like a fanboy wiki article, not an encyclopedia entry. Definitely in need of a rewrite, but there is verifiable evidence out there (even shiny new single artwork) that proves that the article should be reinstated ... I'm just too lazy to cite it properly and get the ball rolling. Anyone else? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.225.137.250 (talk • contribs)
The band's official website confirmed that a new video for "Strawberry Swing" will be released in early August, and a digital-only single will come out on September 14. Here's the announcement: http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=441. That page also includes the single's artwork. Cbing01 (talk) 03:45, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- We still need to wait until the single has been written about in reliable sources. Until then, the article wouldn't meet the notability criteria at WP:NSONGS or WP:GNG. --JD554 (talk) 09:04, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Because the band's official website isn't a reliable source? That makes less than no sense. I can site a half a dozen examples from the last year where wikipedia contained wrong information from "reliable sources" that was then trumped by underground information that was proven to be true. That aside, the band's own website is hardly underground information. I don't know why this can't be accepted. And if all you've got to stand on are wikipedia rules, then the rules need to be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.225.137.250 (talk • contribs)
- Just because it's being released as a single doesn't make it notable. It still needs to meet the conditions at WP:GNG or WP:NSONGS. --JD554 (talk) 06:41, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
The video has been officially released online today. --94.43.112.105 (talk) 12:12, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
- JD445, all that you follow is rules. Sometimes to get the best results, rules must be broke, or as the Joker said "The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules", Ect. Hey are you part of a Wikipedia organization called "Delete Dept.", cause it sure seems like it. Plus, how can a band's official website not be a reliable source? Screw You JD445.--Das Ansehnlisch (talk) 14:30, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- If you actually read WP:GNG or WP:NSONGS you would see that the sources needed are independent reliable sources. The band's official website is hardly independent. --JD554 (talk) 14:42, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- So. It's still their website they operate from.--Das Ansehnlisch (talk) 15:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, quoting NSONGS:
Now, let's ask ourselves, is there enough verifiable material as of right now to write an article that actually has enough information to be useful to readers? If you could show us some independently sourced information that's more useful than the info we have right now, "This song is going to be a single on X date", then we can discuss if there's enough to warrant a separate article. Fingerz 01:22, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album.
- Oh and Das Ansehnlisch, personal attacks are not tolerated, and are hardly going to help your case. Fingerz 01:21, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- In answering your first question, YES!!!. Heck I already did. Just let me go back, make a new page about the son..er..single and it will be a good page. Glass of Water is a great page 'o info, too.--Das Ansehnlisch (talk) 15:07, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- No there isn't enough information. The key word is verifiable, that verifiability has to come from, once again, independent reliable sources. --JD554 (talk) 15:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC
