Talk:Not Fade Away (song)

message: No way. Different artists, different albums. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 14:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really. The Rush article covers the single release and includes material about a second track. It really is only important within the context of Rush. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 05:38, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Can you all please notice that the Rush article is not just a single, but includes another song, too? —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 20:29, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The other song is the B-side. It wouldn't be hard to talk about the B-side in the Not Fade Away (song) article. It's not like there's a ton of info about it. GassyGuy 03:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't understand why you can't leave well enough alone. Gee, let's merge all albums that share a single track! —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 03:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This isn't an album. It's a single. Merging albums that share a single track would be ridiculous and would not be helpful to readers. Talking about the various single releases of a song within the article for that song provides a good overall basis for the recorded history of that song. GassyGuy 04:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

text: The result (after one day shy of a month) is: Don't merge by a vote of 3:2. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 14:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Merge - I am voting to merge.  Articles are about songs not about singles.  I am placing the merge-suggestion tag back onto the articles. -- eo 11:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

text: N328KF: Firstly, Wikipedia is not a democracy; reasons for votes count more than numbers, so I wouldn't bother keeping count. Secondly, I disagree with your claim that the merge was in violation of policy  ; on the contrary, a merge would actually be in compliance with Wikipedia:Merging_and_moving_pages#Merging, which suggests merging if "There are two or more pages on related subjects that have a large overlap" and/or "If a page is very short and cannot or should not be expanded terribly much". Thirdly, the vast majority of songs that have been recorded by more than one act have only one article here (e.g. Who's Lovin' You, Hum Along and Dance, Respect (song), I'll Be There, I Heard It through the Grapevine, I Will Always Love You, Lady Marmalade, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction), so I don't see why Rush's version of this song should be treated differently and given its own separate article.

text: I entirely concur with Kingboyk here, the editorial practice has either changed since the general notes about how to treat songs was written, or was never a reflection of the then current practice. This is particularly noticeable and irritating where there are cogent discographies for major artists, the article about the song and it's release by it's composer, if they are the same, should be at "Foo (song)" and where there is need elsewhere "Foo (single)" or "Foo (Bandname single)" is the right option.--Alf melmac 14:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I have trouble with this sentence:  "Along with the familiar Take 2 of 'Not Fade Away,' there exists a Take 1 whose first verse is missing; it has been released with the first part of Take 1 spliced onto it."  This just doesn't parse.  It would make sense if the first part of Take 2 were spliced onto it, but I don't know anything about this recording. New Providence (talk) 20:02, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

message: There is a relatively long discussion on how "Not Fade Away" was not the last song Holly performed in his final concert, because some bunch of people 50 years later said all of the acts including Buddy Holly sang some other song. But "Not Fade Away" was not performed in Clear Lake at all, according to setlists here, here and here, so the entire paragraph is off-topic. Even the fact that it appeared in The Buddy Holly Story is trivia. I'm removing the paragraph. 2001:BB6:4713:4858:3023:71A7:6AC4:26AD (talk) 13:07, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
