Track listing

Source? Was this a CD single, vynil?
Add it to the release history as well and create such section.
I genuinely don't have any more sources than this. I know, but can't verify that the only release was on vinyl record, but as it didn't chart and is only notable in hindsight due to retrospective sources, there's not a lot to use to verify things like this.

You claim in the article it was released in vynil and CD single and now you don't know? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 01:43, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no mention of a CD release in the article. The Chirazi book mentions the vinyl versions but there's no specifics on whether they had different track listings or were just released as difference sized records. The track lengths match the CD releases of the albums they also appear on. I can find user-generated—that is, unreliable—sources which show the same track listing across all three versions, but in the absence of a reliable secondary source then we have to let the source be the subject itself.

If you mean discogs you can use if there is an ID number along as the backcover states the songs. I also left you a mention on the Personnel. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTRSMUSIC says to avoid using Discogs. As the track list is evident on the release itself it shouldn't really require an additional source (like, for example, an article on a book wouldn't need a citation to demonstrate its table of contents; it is considered a source for itself). Gʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ^ˣ 18:44, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It also says "Album jackets should be sourced directly using the Cite AV media notes template." I need to know if this track list was in Vynil. That's not the subject, the subject its the song itself not if it was release on Vynil, that needs a source. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:48, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the need for this and find it wholly reduplicative--no music-related article I've put through WP:GA has required a circular citation for the track listing of the release being discussed; even articles at WP:FAC have not required this. It should not be necessary to cite the subject of an article in the article—I could understand if there were different releases that needed additional clarification, but this is self-evidently verifiable. Gʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ^ˣ 18:55, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about "Anne's Song", the tracklist mentions that song and another one. I need to know where this information came from. Tell me then how do you verify this? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:03, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Personnel

Use {{spaced ndash}} so there is the right space between credits and personnel.
Added. Gʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ^ˣ 21:41, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also add a source to it.
As above, this is taken from the release itself. Gʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ^ˣ 18:51, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I still need a source for this, nontheless. I mean where did you read this from? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:49, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Overall

You can now adress the issues I raised. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:14, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the review; I have addressed your concerns above. Gʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ^ˣ 21:41, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Grapple X: I will take a look a this tomorow. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 21:43, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Something that also strikes me is the release date as you have one for the music video, and the album has it as "May 18, 1988". So which one? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:31, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Grapple X: Seven days to address the rest of the issues, if not it will fail. I have been patient enough. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 16:37, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MarioSoulTruthFan, Grapple X hasn't edited on Wikiepdia since April 7, so they may not have seen your comments. But that doesn't mean that they shouldn't have, or that you shouldn't fail the nomination in seven days if they don't respond by then. Thanks for taking this on. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:44, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset: It will be a month by then, but sure I will give it until the end of May, when the backlong ends. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 23:30, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MarioSoulTruthFan, I think closing it on May 7 or 8 would allow for a long enough hold; no need to wait until May 31! I appreciate your flexibility. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:38, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset: I was going to do that in the first place, 7 days after 30 of April is the 7th of May, I can hold on one more day. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 21:11, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More than enough time was given the nominator to answer my concerns, I'm going ahead and fail it. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:42, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
