Is this really worthy of a Wikipedia article?! I'd be inclined to say 'no'. --kingboyk 01:07, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be inclined to say yes :) --Daniel11 11:09, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copright?

Aren't these lyrics copyrighted?

Stub about an unreleased song. I redirected to Let It Be (film) but was undone. We still need to decide how to tackle these articles on lesser unreleased songs. --kingboyk 11:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article is quite well writen, minor flaws here and there (for the similarities → due to the similarities; the January session. → the same January session), missing release dates for songs, album and EP. I'm even surpised it has a reception section at all. The unpleasent truth is that I'm aware that it will be quite hard, if not impossible, to find information on this particular subject. As you wrote and can see the song was never released or included on any album, only bootleg versions are available. It fails the "Broad in its coverage" criteria, but instead of quick failing it, I'm going to ask you first if you have more information regarding this subject/article?

You have to be aware that not every article in wikipedia can be a GA. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:50, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MarioSoulTruthFan, because this song is not that well known, it is very hard to find information on it. I wanted it to be GA because I want more people to know about it DarklyShadows (talk) 15:04, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a good reason for a article to become GA, henceforth there are six criteria and that's not one of it. Once more, do you have more information? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:07, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MarioSoulTruthFan: What do I need to add for it to become GA? I do have some more books, I'll do research on it. DarklyShadows (talk) 15:09, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good start, the article needs more information. By the way, just because it is a GA doesn't mean more people will know about it. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:41, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to say but I will give a week to start improving the article. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:56, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MarioSoulTruthFan, how does it look now? DarklyShadows (talk) 01:37, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep improving it. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:04, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
