References Vs. External Links

Hi all, I have moved the external links section that was there down another notch and created a references section. I noticed that there was inline citations with the article but that the reflist was in the "External Links" section. So now I have cleared all that up. As well as that I changed the title from being in an Italic style of font to a Bolded style. If anyone has any issues or if author had some special reasoning for it to be so, then please let me know. Wishing you all the best and happy wiki-ing!

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted, because... It can further expand on the themes of Zooropa, what U2 was trying to convey about technology, etc. Furthermore, there are recordings of the song being performed live which demonstrate why it was dropped from setlists. What worked on the record did not translate to live shows. Also, there's a discussion of the song by the band in Neil McCormack's U2 by U2. Squaredroot (talk) 20:01, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is redundant to Babyface (song), which is just a redirect at the moment. The content of this article (and its history) should be merged into that article. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 20:25, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well a good faith expansion wouldn't be redundant to a four year old redirect and A10 would not accomplish a merge. --Tikiwont (talk) 20:51, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe by incorporating more information from U2 themselves, as well as the critical response to the song. It got mixed reviews from critics in their reviews of the album, which is one of the reasons why U2 doesn't think it (and other songs) aren't "potent" enough.

I believe that the "Babyface" article is relevant and should be left intact. Over the past few hours, I have gathered more sources and details worthy of inclusion. These include interviews with U2 members, music critics' reviews of the song, and relevant sources for the bibliography. Squaredroot (talk) 15:07, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
