thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The beginning of the article says that this is an album by "new wave band Duran Duran", but new wave was apparently removed as an inappropiate genre in the infobox (?) Surely there are sources to be found saying that this is a new wave-album. Disco and experimental music was influences on the album, but I doubt very much sources can be found that supports that as genres of the album. Edo (talk) 05:19, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I get what you're saying, but I couldn't find anything saying this album is new wave. Only when researching Rio does the term come up. If you can come up with something reliable that says it go ahead and add it. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 13:41, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Are discogs.com and AllMusic OK? Which sources say that this is a disco album and an experimental music album?  Edo (talk) 15:01, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: See WP:NOTRSMUSIC for more info. Discogs is not. If AllMusic says it in the review yes, but its genres are autogenerated and do not count. "Duran Duran was unabashedly pop ("Friends of Mine," "Girls on Film," "Planet Earth"), boldly experimental ("Tel Aviv" and its swerving, orchestral-like backdrop) and grasping at just-out-of-reach depth (the clumsy "To The Shore,"" Annie Zaleski. The disco part is from numerous references of that between reviews from both modern and at the time. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 15:20, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

text: Zaleski also has "the idea of new wave (and New Romanticism) writ large." so I guess that works now that I think about it. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 15:24, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent work on the article, Zmbro. I noticed you removed synth-pop too, but in the music/lyrics section is a quote from Mallins which directly calls the album synthesizer pop which links to same. Would you say that was strong or unambiguous enough for the infobox?--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 03:14, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes I believe it does. I'll go ahead and make the changes. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 04:01, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
