"Love Don't Live Here Anymore"

The Virgin Tour

Live – The Virgin Tour

I believe these eight articles are comprehensive and together denotes one of the best bunch in Wikipedia. They are about American recording artist (legend) Madonna's second studio album Like a Virgin, the singles released from the album, and the supporting tour and its subsequent live video release. So with the consensus of my fellow editors, I would like to promote this topic to a good topic. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:27, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~. After looking carefully at Love Don't Live Here Anymore it became clear (to me at least) that that song should also be GANed and included here. The song itself appears to be the more popular with the Madonna version that the original was. Madonna released it as a single and made a video for it.

- Madonna released "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" as a single from Something to Remember, not Like a Virgin. There is no relation between the two, save being the same named song. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:25, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*~~Oppose~~ "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" appeared on Like a Virgin. It doesn't matter when it was released as a single. Therefore it fails criterion 1.d. Adabow (talk · contribs) 06:59, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Criterion 1d states about gaps in the topic. However, it is important that you understand that "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" is a single from Something To Remember and not from Like a Virgin. Therefore it is suitable for the GTC of Soemthing to Remember. One article in two topics doesnot make any sense. "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" is an album track from Like a Virgin which has no relation to the "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" article which is a remix of the original Rose Royce song. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 07:34, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - So, to clarify, are they two different songs, coincidentally with the same name? Adabow (talk · contribs) 09:33, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - I think Legolas is saying that they are two different recordings of the same song, the version that was a single in the 90s being a wholly different recording to the one on this album, although I might have misunderstood. That begs the more general question, if an album happens to include a cover of a song which has a WP article, would it automatically need to be included in a topic on that album? For example, would a topic on "Version" need to include all twelve songs that have WP articles, even though less than half were released as singles.......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:23, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - The Something to Remember single is a remix of the Like a Virgin track. Therefore "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" belongs in this GT and any future Something to Remember GT. Adabow (talk · contribs) 19:47, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Please see the GTC of Madonna (album) here where it was decided that The Virgin Tour is more appropriate to be included in the Like a Virgin GTC, although the tour supported the Madonna album, since it coincides more with the LAV era. Similar for the LDLHA song. It is a single from Soemthing to Remember, not from this one. Another example I can show you is Britney Spears' album Blackout and Circus. Both of them has the same song "Radar", but the song was released as a single from Circus. Hence it mentions only the labum name as Circus in the infobox of the song article. Moreover, as I have pointed out before, the version released by Madonna is a remix of teh Rose Royce song, and the one in Like a Virgin is a cover, both are infinitely different. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:24, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll change to neutral, as I'm still not convinced. While it may be a single from StR, it is still a song from LaV. If either Blackout or Circus were to be sent to FTC, "Radar" would need to be a GA, as it appears on both albums. Lastly, I don't really understand what the difference between the remix and the cover. From the "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" article, the LaV version is a cover, and the StR version is the LaV song remixed. I don't really see how the remixing of the song excludes it from this topic. Anyway, it was released in Japan in 1986, therefore it was a single then, too. Adabow (talk · contribs) 08:50, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do understand the points you are trying to make. You will be glad to know that I am making LDLHA a GA, just will take another day. That should solve all the problems. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:11, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support now. Looks good. Adabow (talk · contribs) 09:33, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I have nominated "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" for GA. It will be done soon I hope. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 12:27, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Love Don't Live Here Anymore" is a GA now and added to the topic. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:41, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support, although that GA promotion was surprisingly fast. Nergaal (talk) 05:50, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Closed with a consensus to promote.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:27, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
