Jlo samples "All good things"

[edit]

This song samples Nelly Furtado's "All good things (come to an end)". I think this info should be included in the article....120.60.31.100 (talk) 16:55, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Query

[edit]

Shouldn't this be classified as a single rather than promotional single because it was released independently from the album? Till 07:38, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus was reached a long time ago agreeing that songs released as a part of an iTunes Countdown to [album title] were to be deemed promo singles. Even though they were released apart from an album to buy for free, it was only for a limited period of time. For example, if you look at the US iTunes store, the single is no longer available, although it is still available in a few stores. I must say, I have been questioning this a bit recently, and if you've like to have it discussed again, please, do so. What was shall not always be. Statυs (talk) 07:46, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I know you aren't familiar with iTunes, so let me explain a bit what an iTunes Countdown is. Basically, several songs are released week from week leading up the release of an album. Usually between 3 and 5. If somebody buys all of the songs (or how ever many they wanted to purchase), they get a discounted price of the album on iTunes. A featured that is called "Complete My Album". Statυs (talk) 07:55, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(What Is) Love?What is Love? (Jennifer Lopez song) – Remove stylistic ( ) and add artist, since the article lead states that the song is also written without the brackets as plain "What is Love?", and this claim appears to be true in Google Books, and always the case in Billboard. Among other articles What Is Love (En Vogue song), What Is Love (Haddaway song), What Is Love (Howard Jones song), What Is Love (Exo song), several, particularly Howard Jones, appear to also be written with ?, not surprisingly as What is Love is a question.

  • Oppose. The song is called "(What Is) Love?". There's nothing "stylistic" about it, it's what it's called. That is enough disambiguation. — Status (talk · contribs) 03:23, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Per Status. — Tomíca(T2ME) 08:54, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. The title should respect normal typography. And then the variants are given in the introduction. Coreyemotela (talk) 21:04, 6 May 2014 (UTC).[reply]
  • Oppose, there is nothing stylistic about parathesis. The title of the song is (What is) Love?. Its not stylistic. Anyone looking at the tracklisting would expect to find the song there. The title is also the main hook for the song. It is written like that in print media too. A redirect at What Is Love? (Jennifer Lopez song) should redirect to the current page. → Lil-℧niquԐ 1 - { Talk } - 22:52, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Only because the article should probably be at (What Is) Love? (Jennifer Lopez song). I note that there are already 7 redirects into this page including the very recent What is Love? (Jennifer Lopez song) and What Is Love? (Jennifer Lopez song) created by an editor who doesn't beleive it should be moved. If it is clear and apparent where it is, why create a redirect? Disambiguation by brackets is similar to killing yourself with drink, it can be done, but neither are good ideas. Music and songs are an aural tradition and I have never heard a singer sing, "open bracket, what is, close bracket, love." I note the article says, Originally entitled "What Is Love?" I got news for you all it's still sung that way and anybody looking for the song won't use the brackets and would probably find it easier to find with the words, "Jennifer Lopez" too, but we wouldn't casual readers finding the song without hundreds of redirects?
How long will my redlink stay a redlink? --Richhoncho (talk) 15:37, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
All of the redirects should be deleted. The only redirect that people are likely to use, IMO, is What Is Love? (Jennifer Lopez song) → Lil-℧niquԐ 1 - { Talk } - 11:29, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
