Talk:The Parting Glass

message: It is meaningless to talk about a supposedly notable song without giving any hint of the melody or at least a verse or two of the more common lyrics.  That's like talking about a famous painting without seeing the painting.  If these things can't be provided in an article, at least some links to them need to be provided.
BTW, I STRONGLY disagree that a song needs to have been "recorded by several notable artists" in order to be a notable song.  Audio recording is barely a hundred years old.  There have been notable sonngs around LONG before the advent of recording, and many have roots going back centuries.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.206.183.78 (talk) 08:15, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Melody? Lyrics? 

message: Lovely as Davey's arrangement is I'd question that it would truly count as a "new, original melody". It does depart a bit but has the same metric structure and would easily work as a harmony against the conventional version of the melody. Mutt Lunker (talk) 21:57, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Shaun Davey original tune?

message: Due to frequent incorrect edits, presumably due to the song's popularity in Ireland,  I have decided to create a talk section on the origin of the song. The article and it's sources state that the song's lyrics came from Scotland as early as 1600, with the tune also coming from Scotland much more recently. If you have evidence of an Irish origin predating the Scottish one, please post that information here.  Until such information is posted I will continue to revert alterations made to the article.

thread_title:  Celtic Woman 

message: The recently added references regarding strong Irish influence would seem worthy of inclusion.  Bending them, in the manner that they were, to claim origin is neither supported nor warranted. Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:31, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Influence, however strong, is not origin 

message: Apologies, added this a bit too boldly without checking the talk page and seeing consensus was to leave it. Would like the below to be considered though:
I've seen it mentioned in a couple of sources  , it's mentioned in  Give Me Love's lead, and the page is a member of the category  for Ed Sheeran songs, so could this be reconsidered to keep? Is two sources enough to pass WP:SONGCOVER? Couruu (talk) 10:49, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for picking up on this after your edit. It would be quite a stretch to say that these mentions indicate that the sources show "that it is noteworthy in its own right" and it is nowhere near the criteria for WP:NSONGS. Thanks for raising it though. Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:02, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
