So a few things that need deciding:

  1. Is it a single? (The only source presented on an edit summary did not directly state this.
  2. If it was a single, but was only released in a single, non-major market, does it need to be listed on the infobox.
  3. If we list it in the infobox, does it need some context? Like an "(Italy only)" note or something?

We need to come to a WP:CONSENSUS on this. Technically, it shouldn't be in the article now, as there's no consensus for inclusion and no source for it, but I'm trying to cut down on the reverting so I've started the discussion myself. Sergecross73 msg me 12:49, 7 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Against inclusion - it's unsourced and even if it is sourced, I don't think it's helpful to clutter the infobox with songs that largely aren't singles in most regions. It also doesn't have its own article, so it's not aiding in navigation either. Sergecross73 msg me 12:51, 7 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Against inclusion - These days now that we no longer have physical singles and it is all mostly about streaming/downloading and what gets released to radio, it appears to have only been released to radio in Italy which makes it a pretty low key release and does not make it an actual single, more just an album track that is being played on the radio. Secondly, I don't think it conforms to: Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs#Notability to have it's own article which gives further support to it not being included as a single.QuintusPetillius (talk) 16:55, 7 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please, is not the first time we use EarOne.it as a source for Italian radio dates (see Ilomilo (song) or Up in Flames (song)). Why for this single (!) in particular the site now is not valid? What's the reason? Explain it! --84.221.116.62 (talk) 19:01, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Did you even bother to read the comments above? Or the edit summarties? I feel like it's explained very well. As mentioned before, your source literally doesn't call it a single, it just says radio stations are playing it. If you do t stop, the page will be locked from editing. You need a WP:CONSENSUS to make changes to Wikipedia when people oppose your edits. You have 2 editors opposing you. Sergecross73 msg me 20:14, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Bah, you're completely crazy because for some articles we use this site without any problem but now, for unknown reasons, this time the SAME EXACT SOURCE is not valid. What can I say? Remove the source in every page, like the one I mentioned above (which are there since many months/years, but seems no one cares). --84.221.116.62 (talk) 09:08, 13 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
You need to follow the rules of Wikipedia:Consensus.QuintusPetillius (talk) 11:01, 13 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Maybe read WP:OSE too. Just because someone did it some way once doesn't mean were forever required to do it the same way here today. Sergecross73 msg me 12:43, 13 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
