Echoes Cover addition request
I recently made the mistake of making an addition this page without requesting it. I wanted to make an addition to the "cover versions" section to include a cover which has been doing the rounds on the internet. A YouTuber/musician who does many Floyd covers did a full cover of this song. My original edit was removed because the cover wasn't "notable". I'd like to know what makes a cover notable. This particular cover was shared by many blogs and websites and people non other than Pink Floyd drummer himself Nick Mason, receiving high praise from the main man.
I think for a Wikipedia page this detailed it should also include more covers. It looks a bit empty the way it is just now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WisemanOnceSaid (talk • contribs) 23:24, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
- @WisemanOnceSaid: Thank you for starting a discussion, I have to oppose per WP:NSONG and WP:COVERSONG. - Mlpearc (open channel) 23:33, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Mlpearc:Thank you for replying. I'm sorry but I don't see how my edit does not meet the criteria in WP:NSONG and WP:COVERSONG. It states: "Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." The cover definitely meets that criteria.
- @Mlpearc:I'm not trying to be hostile, I'm just trying to learn. More information would be helpful. Thanks. WisemanOnceSaid (talk) 16:41, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Mlpearc: I can't seem to reply to you on your talk page so I will reply here. I still think my edit meets the criteria you referred to in a previous comment. Can't we get another editor in here to peer review the edits I am proposing? WisemanOnceSaid (talk) 17:55, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
