Talk:Come Out and Play (Billie Eilish song)

Orphaned references in Come Out and Play (Billie Eilish song)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Come Out and Play (Billie Eilish song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 03:39, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Cover art needs alt text
• Remove target to Billie Eilish under Songwriter(s)

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold even though a lot of the criteria points are currently not met, you aren't too far off on them. --Kyle Peake (talk) 12:08, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
• Hot New Hip Hop → reliable source, should be added. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Kyle Peake I have done all of your requests. Let me know if there is anything else I need to do. DarklyShadows (talk) 21:52, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@DarklyShadows: I have done some copyediting, but you still need to add than HNHH ref and also I have noticed MOS:QWQ issues with the Musicnotes.com ref that need fixing. --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:27, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Kyle Peake I have added that to the reception area and fixed the MOS:QWQ problem. DarklyShadows (talk) 06:29, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

DarklyShadows Just remembered you still have not run Fix dead links on the article for archiving. --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:30, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

DarklyShadows It appears you forgot to do this; I am assuming good faith as you may not remember how to use the tool, done for you. ✓ Pass on the article now, move discussion may be going on but that doesn't mean the article itself lacks stability, since no one is editing the content at all. --Kyle Peake (talk) 07:16, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Kyle Peake Shoot I thought the fix dead links was in the history section. My mistake. DarklyShadows (talk) 07:20, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Come Out and Play (Billie Eilish song) → Come Out and Play (song) – Only song on wikipedia that has an article and is by far the most well known song with this title. DarklyShadows (talk) 22:28, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose (strongly) – The song by The Offspring also has a page – Come Out and Play (The Offspring song). The text was kinda broken on the disambiguation page, so I get why it looked like the page for the Offspring song didn't exist. So a page title of "Come Out and Play (song)" would be WP:INCOMPLETEDISAMBIGUATION. We don't do WP:PARTIALDISAMBIGUATION in article titles. Even if the Billie Eilish song is the most notable of the songs with the name "Come Out and Play", it would stay at "Come Out and Play (Billie Eilish song)" unless it somehow became the universal primary topic for the name "Come Out and Play" (without "(song)").

• Oppose per Paintspot Infez and Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:47, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Although a recent RfC confirms that titles like this can still be primary topics, in this case Come Out and Play (The Offspring song) gets more pageviews, so this article is not primary. Station1 (talk) 04:33, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose per above comments --Kyle Peake (talk) 07:17, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose Straight away I thought of the Offspring song, so this is not the primary topic. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 10:39, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
