Notability
editI have redirected the article back to the album. The provided sources in this edit are not substantial coverage of the song and do not establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 19:57, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Agreed, but I am going to change the re-direct to the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" which had the definitive version, as the version on "With the Lights Out" is a demo version. Cheers.QuintusPetillius (talk) 14:41, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
The addition of more sources does not really address the issue of notability. The coverage needs to be significant and not passing mentions. Here is a breakdown of the sources in the article as of this version.
- "The Rough Guide to Nirvana" (Gaar) provided with no page numbers. The provided link to the book is 404 for me as well. I looked using teh preview for this edition. A search for the song title in the book shows is just a bunch of passing mentions and not significant coverage.
- "In utero" (Gaar) also no page numbers. I assume this is supposed to be the book "Nirvana's In Utero" as Gaar has no book by the name just "In Utero". I checked this edition. Again, the coverage is not substantial.
- This would be the same book as the previous reference.
- "Heavier Than Heaven. A Biography of Kurt Cobain" (Cross) with no page numbers. I used this edition. Again the coverage of the song is not significant.
- This reference is the same book as 1.
- Rolling Stone list does not provide any significant coverage.
These sources verify facts but do not establish notability. The redirect should be reinstated. -- Whpq (talk) 19:04, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
These sources do verify facts and establish notability. They explain why the song was created and what it is about. DarklyShadows (talk)
- The coverage needs to be significant. None of the sources represents the significant coverage needed for a standalone article -- Whpq (talk) 11:47, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Whpq, I am going to revert the redirect for you to see if the stuff I added will work out better. DarklyShadows (talk)
