This article was nominated for merging with Lux Aeterna (Mansell) on 25 December 2022. The result of the discussion (permanent link) was merged.

Escala cover

It might be notable that Requiem for a Tower was covered by Escala_(group), an electronic string quartet that reached the finals of the second series of Britain's Got Talent. I don't know where or if this belongs on the album page, so I brought it up here instead of adding it directly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tfarlow (talk • contribs) 17:28, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No longer available?

I can't find it for sale anywhere, it appears to have been totally removed from every major online outlet. Revrant (talk) 20:35, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requiem for a Tower → ? – The name of this article should be Corner Stone Cues Presents: "Requiem For A Tower" and I propose that we either redirect Requiem for a Tower to the newly created page or to Lux Aeterna (Mansell). Let's discuss which is better. Marchije•^speak/_peek 21:19, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To elaborate on the above propsal: This article has issues that need resolving, but I'd appreciate some input into the best course of action.

This article is trying to be a mixture of an article about the song "Requiem for a Tower" and the album on which it was later released, whose full title is Corner Stone Cues Presents: "Requiem For A Tower" and that contains more than just the song "Requiem for a Tower". Due to the fact that the article currently employs the infox album template, it causes the article title to be italicized, when, if the article is for the song, it should not be italicized.

My thought is that we have the following options:

We could split them into two separate articles for the song and the album, or
We could move the existing page to an article titled Corner Stone Cues Presents: "Requiem For A Tower" and redirect Requiem for a Tower to the newly named page, or
We could rename this page to Corner Stone Cues Presents: "Requiem For A Tower" then redirect Requiem for a Tower to Lux Aeterna (Mansell), since in effect the former is a re-orchestration of the latter.

I'm thinking the the third option is probably the best option, since personally I have been unable to find much written about the making of "Requiem for a Tower", other than the fact that it was based on "Lux Aeterna" and that "Requiem for a Tower" is the version of the song that made its appearance in many other film trailers and other media since its creation for the The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers trailer. Input from other editors is appreciated. Marchije•^speak/_peek 21:24, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Option 3, sort of. "Requiem for a Tower" (the song) should indeed be redirected to Lux Aeterna (Mansell) and merged. However, Corner Stone Cues Presents: "Requiem For A Tower" (the album) does not appear to meet WP:NALBUM, and therefore does not require an article. 162 etc. (talk) 23:02, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
