Please delete this page

Someone please delete this page again. There is no need to keep recreating the same page with the same links and info up here. This does not need to be created until there is a title or complete tracklisting. But there is neither but just two confirmed tracks which are singles, so of course they will make it on the album. But there is no reason to keep adding "New Shows", "Should Have", and "Kick Him Out" because there are leftover from B'Day. And Settle 4 U is from Dangerously In Love. "Beautiful Nightmare" and "Stop Sign" are the only new songs and she has not confirmed a possibility of these tracks. So the page needs to be removed.

Posted by DBZfan29: This page does not need to be deleted, but somethings have to. Why are people redirecting everything that has to do with album to the page? Single Ladies, 2009 world tour? Just don't make the page if people are going to redirect it here anyway! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.48.114 (talk) 14:44, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Knowles reportedly started working on her third studio album in December of last year.[citation needed]
  • During the recording of the album,[citation needed] Knowles also recorded a cover of Billy Joel's "Honesty", which was released in June 2008 on a Japanese CD celebrating the tenth-year anniversary of Destiny's Child.

  • Video Phone is set to be the final single off her album [citation needed]. The Song has already had major radio airplay for the past few months. There will also be a remix to the song that features artists The-Dream, T-Pain, Ludacris, Missy Elliot, & Jeremih. The video will be shot sometime around the end of June, at a hotel in Los Angelas[citation needed].[citation needed] NOTE that the video is part two of the "Diva" video.[citation needed]

The single's pages

Why the pages for If I Were a Boy and Single Ladies keep getting deleted? The tracks have already been released, there's much information about them, so what's the problem with the pages? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.83.41.67 (talk) 21:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They fail WP:NM; they have to chart to merit an article. DiverseMentality(Boo!) 21:31, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thats stupid! theres loads of pages in songs that are either unreleased or not charted yet that haven't been deleted.Wneedham02 (talk) 16:18, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's not stupid. If you would, direct me to these songs on my talk page please. DiverseMentality(Boo!) 20:09, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay I got your proof,I was looking at almost ALL of the Khia singles, half of them never charted, and 1 is a sentence long! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.48.114 (talk) 14:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If that's the case, every album single related article should be delete b/c those articles are ALWAYS created weeks before they chart, whether its sales or airplay. To quote notability exactly, "Notability aside, a separate article is only appropriate on a song when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article." I say combine both IIWAB and SL(PAROI) into one article. 64.140.0.3 (talk) 04:17, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"They fail WP:NM; they have to chart to merit an article." – VERY poor argument. From a random pick, see "Suga Mama", "Across the Universe", "Aesthetics of Hate", "Put On Your White Sombrero", "Whiplash". The list goes on and on... 210.4.232.57 (talk) 13:46, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Otherstuff exists" – also a poor argument. DiverseMentality linked to the notability guideline for songs, and listed the one inclusion criterion which will in all likelihood be the first to apply for this song.
In detail: the basic inclusion guideline is at WP:Notability. Derived from that is WP:MUSIC#Songs, where it says that "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts [...] are probably notable". This does not override the basic notability guideline, but it is broadly used as an extension for songs since a charted song will almost automatically gain significant coverage in reliable sources.
The only song from your list with questionable notability is Put On Your White Sombrero, all others pass WP:NOTE and WP:MUSIC. --AmaltheaTalk 16:06, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In all, using notability is a very poor argument b/c no editor abides by it. They are not using WP:OTHERSTUFF as an argument. What they are saying is you had no problem with A so you should have no problem with B. As another editor stated, "single" articles are always created weeks before that even chart and they do get this commotion. I don't understand why editors want to enforce Wiki policies for one particular subject yet not the others. Dancefloor royalty (talk) 23:03, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, both singles have now charted. Can anyone PLEASE put the singles pages on back again??? Thanks. Rub rb (talk) 11:14, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead. It's not deleted, or redirected, as long as it charted. --Efe (talk) 11:49, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The new Kanye West single, Heartless, already has a page for it even though it has not charted, I don't see then why couldn't Beyoncé: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartless_(Kanye_West_song) Anyway, all of this songs would eventually chart and we know it, so I just don't see the point of deleting the pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.83.15.248 (talk) 04:25, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"If I Were A Boy" controversy

Since there is no article yet for the above song, it might be worth noting in this article the controversy surrounding this song. Check out http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,437442,00.html and scroll down to Beyonce's 'Stolen' New Hit Record.↔NMajdan•talk 12:38, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd wait a bit since at this point, all sources I find are based on that one FOX news story, and we should be careful with it. If it gets picked up by other reliable sources then sure. --AmaltheaTalk 16:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree as ive heard that she never stole it, it was lent to her as a demo only but she insisted on using it. Wneedham02 (talk) 16:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The song was ~in no way stolen... This guy, Gad, had the rights of the song he had co-written with BC Jean. As she was not publishing it they decided to sell it to any well-known artists to perform and record the song. Rub rb (talk) 11:16, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The covers you are referring to came from Wal-Mart (online) and were later removed by Wal-Mart less than one hour after they appeared on the site, thus they can only be deemed "fake" until multiple retailers or Columbia Records reveal an official cover.

I Am... Tracklistings

Well I was looking through the Australia Sony BMG b2b. And discovered that the standard edition of "I Am..." (listed as I Am...sasha Fierce) only features 2 CDs, one of them with 6 tracks, the other with 5.

2 5 Video Phone USSM10804757

I'm not sure if this should be added, because they also have listed "I Am..." Limited Edition (listed as I Am...sasha Fierce - Deluxe Edition) and features the tracklisting on this wikipedia page but without the track 9 on the second CD.

iTunes & Walmart pre-orders

In addition to the previous track-listing sections (both from official sources), we now have the following pre-order links on Beyoncé's official US website:

Also, Walmart's newly-revamped MP3 site has it available for pre-order: Deluxe edition; Standard edition.

It should be noted that all of these sources confirm that the entire album (NOT just one disc) will be called I Am...Sasha Fierce, AND there will be two different versions, both double-CDs (though the standard edition would likely fit on one CD).

With this new information, someone who has the time to work it up properly should request that the page be unprotected, or at least changed to semi-protected so a registered Wikipedian can update it. --RBBrittain (talk) 01:40, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Title and album covers (but not track listings) are now also confirmed at Amazon.com: Deluxe edition; Standard edition. --RBBrittain (talk) 02:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?

The album will be released in two double-disc versions

Does this mean two different CDs, or is it referring to the standard and deluxe editions?

---Shadow (talk) 05:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the "two" means the Deluxe and Standard, and double-disc refers to the 2 CDs.

Should the articles have a slash between them because "Single Ladies" hasn't been released international? It's not a double a-side.

Hello, this article states that this album comes out on Dec. 8 in Canada. However, today is November 18, and I Am...Sasha Fierce was available in stores-particularly HMV, where I purchased mine earlier today.

Sales and Positions Table

Why a table of sales, positions and certifications has not been created yet??? The album has already charted in Japan so I think it must be in this page. Rub rb (talk) 23:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tables are only used when the album has already charted to various charts, a way of organizing of the facts. But I think someone has created it already. --Efe (talk) 04:19, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Critical reviews

The reviews that I have read (which happened to be the links in the infobox) are actually mixed to negative. Yet the article says the reviews have been generally positive. I'm confused. Crackthewhip775 (talk) 03:47, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We will be adding some more positive. According to review aggregator metacritic, the album has received generally positive review. --Efe (talk) 04:17, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Smash into You & Scared of Lonely

In the song booklet of my Deluxe Edition Beyoncé is confirmed as a songwriter of "Smash into You" and "Scared of Lonely", why isn't it included in the article? --It's Flo (talk) 10:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now added. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 10:59, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now I'm wondering why somebody undid that. I'm re-adding it. --It's Flo (talk) 10:44, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No concrete idea why, but I believe some people don't accept the fact that Knowles did co-write these songs. --Efe (talk) 11:09, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Smash Into You" was actually orginally called "Smack Into You" and was actually writtemn by "Jon McLaughlin". Matthew Knowles purchased the recording rights to the song and hence it was re-listed. Beyonce does have writing credits on this song, she turned "Smack" into "Smash" thats all. This is why there is controversy over it.

oh and by the way cristyl is the sole writer of "Scared of Lonely" beyone proof-read the single thats all.(Lil-unique1 (talk) 23:30, 19 February 2009 (UTC))[reply]

WRITING CREDITS

Can people stop deleting Knowles' name from certain songs writing credits mainly "Smash into You", "Scared of Lonely" & "If I Were a Boy". I know some people cannot accept that Knowles has writing credit but as it says it in the album booklet it should be kept that way on here, thanks.

Sorry I forgot about "If I Were a Boy" but the others have her name on the credits.

"Scared of Lonely" - Written by: Rodney Jerkins, Lashawn Daniels, Cristyle Johnson, Rico Low, Solange Knowles, Beyonce Knowles. "Smash into You" - Written by: Christopher Stewart, Terius Nash, Thaddis Harrell, Beyonce Knowles. Wneedham02 (talk) 22:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Someone keeps changing the U.S. certifification for the album to 3x platinum. It HAS NOT been certified to 3x platinum yet. If you go to www.riaa.com, you will see that the album is certified 2x platinum since January 2009. I'm getting tired of changing it back to 2x platinum.

Platinum Edition

It should be noted that Japan's release of the platinum edition will be on October 7, 2009, and that it will also come with an extra disc (disc 2) with dance mixes from the "Above and Beyonce" compilation (making the video disc disc 3).

The HMV Japan tracklisting is advising that the Platinum Edition is now the Deluxe edition of the album with the "above and Beyonce" dance mixes added to both discs along with the DVD, the source above also contains this tracklisting, can the remixes be added to the "Deluxe Edition" tracklistings with the dance remixes disc removed from the Platinum edition section as it looks like this is no longer the case with the Japan release

Source:http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/3645148/track/1 Trauts25 22:57, 11 October 2009

The platinum edition is the platinum edition. CDJapan even has cover art to prove it. The info on the deluxe edition could be added, but at the same time this is the "real" platinum edition and the deluxe edition already has a tracklisting. D4c3nt3n0 (talk) 01:46, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also that source shows the actual platinum edition but with a different tracklisting. Since all of the releases have all 20 tracks on one disc, the second disc should be the mixes one and not a separate "Sasha Fierce" section. D4c3nt3n0 (talk) 01:49, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I understand where your coming from but both the sources above and Sony Music Japan source:http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Music/International/Arch/SR/Beyonce/SICP-2405/index.html

confirm the dance mixes disc does not exist and that japan are not getting the normal 20 track platinum version.

I feel the Above and beyonce dance mixes japan disc should be removed as it is not part of the Japan release, and the fact these remixes are added to the deluxe version for the Japanese Platinum release should be noted. Trauts25 18:38, 12 October 2009

I guess the info can be updated, just as long as you cite the changes. If you want I can do it. Column one should list the actual platinum edition with the DVD. The Japanese column should list discs one and two (just make a little note that the DVD is also included instead of writing it again). I do have something else to point out, though. "Save the Hero" and "Why Don't You Love Me" were not iTunes exclusives in Japan. As they always are, these were bonus tracks for us and were apart of the actual album in Japan. Don't write that they were bonus tracks. Also, CDJapan has updated their site with the same exact tracklisting. I misread the decription. It says it includes eight mixes from the "Above and Beyoncé" album; not that includes the actual CD. Sorry for all the confusion! D4c3nt3n0 (talk) 18:39, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem re the confusion and thanks for updating :) Trauts25 20:09, 12 October 2009

Sasha Fierce'. It will impact radio in September 2009." be removed as there is no supporting source. thank you. (Lil-unique1 (talk) 01:47, 29 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]

 Done I commented it out. It can obviously be re-added if a ref is provided. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 01:53, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Broken Hearted Girl/Video Phone Controversy...

Can i just confirm that the link given to confirm the release of "Broken Hearte Girl" [5] is in Italian but if you use a language translator e.g. Yahoo's BABELFISH, the article turns out to say and the song "Broken Hearted Girl" (featured on I Am... Sasha Fierce deluxe edition already out) can be heard on radio in September. However this is not confirmation that it is actually being released commericially as a single. How did editors allow someone to use a blog to source the single cover? It has been long known on wikipedia that blogs are not an official source.

Additionally there is NO official sources to say "Video Phone" is a confirmed release as a new single in the US or elsewhere. I recommend that all mentions of both songs being released as singles are removed until we have more than one independent source that can verify the information.

Agree - in fact, I removed mentions previously, as well as redirected the song articles. The mentions keep appearing... keep them out until there is an official confirmation. - eo (talk) 15:07, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Broken-Hearted Girl is the next official single.....it has already been released in Australia in August 2009....source 1 source 2 source 3 source 4 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teammelarky (talk • contribs) 15:54, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the case then this can be added to the article but should specifically be written that it has ONLY been released in australia. Do not under any circumstances add video phone!!!! (Lil-unique1 (talk) 16:04, 1 September 2009 (UTC))[reply]

And this is translation on beyonce's official website:

"The single driving force Platinum Edition of "I Am. Sasha Fierce" will be Broken-Hearted Girl "(this song in both versions of" I AM .. Sasha Fierce "currently for sale) that you can listen to radio in September." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teammelarky (talk • contribs) 16:22, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

so it does confirm that it will be released as a single.....not just that it will impact radioTeammelarky (talk) 16:29, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's debate-able because according to Yahoo's language tool it just says that the song is impacting on radio. However because the single is available to purchase in australia it does indeed seem to be confirmed,. (Lil-unique1 (talk) 00:07, 2 September 2009 (UTC))[reply]

If it charts, then the proper thing to do is to go to WP:RFPP and request the protection be removed on Broken-Hearted Girl so that an article can be created there. There should never be an article at Broken-Hearted Girl (Beyoncé Knowles song) so long as Broken-Hearted Girl is available. Until it charts, it should remain a redirect, per the AFD.—Kww(talk) 00:39, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lil unique.....you are wrong because this is the translation according to yahoo's lanughage tool, and it does confirm that it will be a single:

The single one of towing of the Platinum Edition of " The Am. Sasha Fierce" song present also in both will be Broken-Hearted Girl (the versions of " THE AM. Sasha Fierce" currently in sale) that you will be able to listen in radius from September.

You people sed if the single charts then the page will be made. Its cgarted at #194 on the Uk charts on downloads. so do what u sed or were u just saying that? Blazemon (talk) 14:20, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, but i think you should mind your language. I did not personally ban the page i do not have the authority to do so. Only administrators can do that. If you wish the page to be unlocked you should make a request with admin. In future do not shoot the messenger. That kind of language and attitude can and will get you blocked from editing.

Beyoncé's mad fans shouldn't be allowed to write here

"Also, her newest single "Sweet Dreams" is promoting more album sales due to its memorable mix of a haunting melody and a very techno vibe." that's the reason. it's frustrating to read this page. and the most frustrating thing is that serious writers don't correct this kind of statements and keep on sustain that this is a neutral page. this is just as Beyoncé's official fanclub. --93.146.254.173 (talk) 21:08, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

THE HELL.!! someone is removing some important info!!! like beyonce tying in britney and alicia.. the covers are removed ad the "i am... tour" section.. they erasing it..!!!the sales of the album.!! and many other info. Who The Hell removed the alternate covers. I hate it when they do that. The deluxe cover should at least be on here. --Aphordonte (talk) 01:41, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the deluxe edition cover? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.83.51.157 (talk) 02:14, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New Deluxe Edition

It's missing the new deluxe edition cover, in color, that features "Poison" and "Video Phone (Extended Remix) (feat. Lady GaGa)". Can somebody upload this, please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.56.196.229 (talk) 18:44, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Album covers

I Am... Sasha Fierce has been released with four different covers accompanying the four different releases: standard edition, old deluxe edition, platinum edition, and new deluxe edition. However, only the standard edition cover is featured here, although I do recall that the old deluxe edition cover used to be here as well. While including all of them in the infobox would probably make things a little too crowded (see: Robyn (album)), perhaps someone could include a gallery towards the end of the article containing the three alternate covers? That way, all bases could be covered and all the information would be available, as it were. I'm absolutely useless at this sort of thing, so I'll leave this up to someone more capable, if at all. 76.107.137.39 (talk) 23:59, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • On another note, the opening information regarding the singles seems to be incorrect; not only have they all charted worldwide, but moreover, there are eight, not seven. (I apologize for putting this here, but I didn't think it was appropriate to start another section, especially so soon) 76.107.137.39 (talk) 00:05, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
