How does this meet WP:NSONG?

I’m confused about this article. Notability requirements for songs require that a song be the subject of non-trivial, in-depth coverage. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 18:34, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gained: In case you are interested in updating. I think we should expect more to be published in the coming days. Thanks for your work on this article! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:53, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help, @Another Believer! I will make sure to include these sources. Gained (talk) 03:52, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Lk95: Based on your creation of Twilight Zone (Ariana Grande song), would you be interested in helping to update this article, too? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:06, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I added a paragraph about the reception of the extended version based on the sources you provided. Maybe we see more coverage on the song in the next few days. Lk95 (talk) 07:19, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

re: Brighter Days Ahead

https://www.vulture.com/article/ariana-grande-brighter-days-ahead-short-film.html

"Grande dropped the 26-minute Brighter Days Ahead short film to go with the deluxe version of Eternal Sunshine of the same name... The first memory is some sweet footage Peaches’s childhood, accompanied by “Intro (End of the World).” (Per the credits, this is actual childhood footage from Grande.)."

Background and release

Since the article is likely to be kept due to #democracy, this section contains original research. This needs to be fixed. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 18:36, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How does this section contain original research? I just follow through what FA articles do (Labyrinth (Taylor Swift song) is my main reference point) Gained (talk) 05:52, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Even if you copied the section verbatim, the sources are not the same. From "Labyrith",

Taylor Swift announced her tenth original studio album, Midnights, at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards on August 28; its title and cover artwork were released shortly after the same day via social media. She conceived Midnights as a collection of songs about her nocturnal ruminations, detailing a wide range of emotions such as regret, lust, nostalgia, contentment, and self-loathing. The standard album was produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, as a result of the two experimenting with music while their partners were both shooting for a film in Panama.

I don't have access to Source 3, but Sources 1 and 2 do mention "Labyrinth". From "Intro",

Ariana Grande began work on her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, following the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes that halted the filming of the Wicked movies, wherein she portrays Glinda. Grande conceived it as somewhat of a concept album consisting of "different heightened pieces of the same story, of the same experience".

It doesn't mention "Intro", and this is WP:COATRAKING the album. If this article is independent from Eternal Sunshine, it doesn't have to rely on sources that don't even mention this song.

The album's lead single, "Yes, And?" was released on January 12, 2024, and the album itself was announced on January 17.

The same as before, the sources don't discuss "Intro" and the release of Yes, And? is trivial here. A third source was already removed.[1] Both sentences are original research because both "include any analysis or synthesis of published material that reaches or implies a conclusion not stated by the sources. To demonstrate that you are not adding original research, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article and directly support the material being presented." The topic here is not Eternal Sunshine or Yes, And?, regardless how interconnected they are, the topic here is Intro and the sources must discuss Intro.

I'm sorry, but I really can't be convinced when other FA articles like Style (Taylor Swift song) and Forever & Always also have sources that dosen't mention the song in their "Background" but get away with it. Gained (talk) 02:13, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is an WP:OTHERSTUFF argument, which, while not silly, cannot supersede the very clear policy at WP:OR. Sources should relate directly to the article’s topic. If you could just infer softly about which indirectly related facts made up the “background” of a topic, you would introduce all sorts of editorial bias. The background section could consist of something like “Ariana Grande is an American singer-songwriter who has contributed to a number of philanthropic and humanitarian causes”; or “Ariana Grande’s personal life was the topic of much public speculation and media attention, particularly in her romance with a married man”, or “2024 was a big year for women in pop music, with artists such as Beyoncé and Taylor Swift releasing successful albums”. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 02:29, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
