A fact from Flawless (Beyoncé song) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 January 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Beyoncé's official site shows this image as the cover for the track. I feel that it is most likely to be used as the official digital cover for the single and makes sense to integrate into the article in some capacity. it may be a stretch but the original promotional cover for the song may also be noteworthy for it's use online and in her tour.

Ok, but it was the remix version that was released as a single, not the original album version feat. Adichie. I think we should change the infobox regarding the original version to {{Infobox song}}, and add another one for the Nicki Minaj single (either below the first one, or in the Remix section). — Mayast (talk) 19:05, 22 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
I added another infobox. However, I see now that according to release history section, the original version impacted the radio as well. I'm not sure how credible the source is, though, so I left it as a song. Anyway, I think that the two versions ("feat. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie" and "feat. Nicki Minaj") should have separate infoboxes. — Mayast (talk) 19:17, 22 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
This Idolator article mentions what I assume is the original version of "Flawless" impacting rhythmic radio (Minaj's name isn't listed) – perhaps we could take that as a more reliable source? No exact date listed, but since it mentions the date having occurred the week of the article's publishing date (August 20, 2014) that seems to correspond with the August 19 date Hits Daily Double mentions.

With the new infobox of the remix, I'm still not sure if referring to it as a single is the best way to go, considering the remix is not available for purchase whatsoever. --Lolcakes25 (talk) 16:43, 26 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
