Do covers inherit their parents genre? Say someone covered a country song, is that cover to be considered also a country song if no source comments on the genre? I ask because I know most things don't merit notability even if connected to something popular, but I've found it difficult sometimes to find sources that mention genres.Babysharkb☩ss2 I am Thou, Thou art I19:16, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see why covers shouldn't need any mention of their genre to be supported by reliable sources. One might reasonably infer that the cover is probably the same genre, but there's no guarantee of that.DonIago (talk)19:24, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, definitely not. Sometimes the whole purpose of covers are to perform songs in a completely different style from the original. For example,Richard Cheese's whole career islounge music covers of metal, grunge, and rap songs that retain none of the style of the originals. "Down with the Sickness" is a metal song, no RS would ever describe Cheese's version as metal.Sergecross73msg me20:29, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey guys, I have created the categorySongs about romance. I believe this is an important "songs by theme" category as many songs are about romance, however, there is no easy way to index them on Wikipedia. Subcats could include songs about infidelity, marriage, divorce, etc. Feel free to add this category to relevant songs.jolielover♥talk16:11, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Songs about love was far too broad since there are different types of love - egLovin' You is about maternal love. This category is specifically about romantic love. The CfD has one person noting this, and that songs about romance would be more specific. I think that something categorizing all the romantic songs out there is good.Love song for instance is quite shabby.jolielover♥talk05:33, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There's three in the article, but I don't understand what you're alluding to with any of them. One is the cover art and the other two are pretty basic performance shots. What's the problem?Sergecross73msg me15:56, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My assumption is that they are implying the single image is athirst trap. Be that it may to some opinions, it's literally the defining image used on the physical product. To suggest we remove what that product looks like because it might be... well, suggestive, isn't something we can entertain. As I said, Wikipedia is not censored.mftpdanoops00:27, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am currently writing articles about "Enterlude" and "Exitlude", two songs that appear on the Killers' albumSam's Town. The first song is a mere 49 seconds and the latter is 2 minutes and 27 seconds, and together the two songs basically form one, causing a severe overlap of similarities between the two. Because these songs are so similar, would it be acceptable to form them together into one article with a name such as "Enterlude and Exitlude"?
Hello, I'm skeptical about a 49-second song passingWP:NSONGS, but it's hard to tell without looking at the drafts to see how much content these articles would have separately. If both songs can be covered in articles that are longer than a few paragraphs and templates, then two standalone pages may be appropriate.Victor LopesFala!•C15:11, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
