Languages

At this point I’m going to open a discussion regarding the languages on the albums Infobox. Per Template:Infobox album states — “This field should identify what language(s) are used in the lyrics of the album.“ It doesn’t state that just because the entire song isn’t in a different language it can’t be included. But according to @IndianBio: it’s merely just a few phrases and not notable enough. [1] Scheiße contains over 200 lyrics specifically in German, Americano contains over 40 lyrics specifically in Spanish, Bloody Marry only contains 5 lyrics in French. Mind you all of this is sourced. I do believe at least German and Spanish should be included, I’m okay with keeping out French as it’s merely only 5 lyrics. Hopefully other editors will respond and share their thoughts on this.

"Scheiße"? Faux-German words, not German. --Sricsi (talk) 17:09, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sricsi: is this confirmed? I can’t find a source to it other than random internet group conversations stating it’s just made up German words. Pillowdelight (talk) 17:20, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can see it here and here. I think we should keep this information about languages on the article's body. GagaNutella^talk 18:00, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! It is faux-German, mostly she's talking "shit", pun intended. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 18:51, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my I was under the impression she was actually singing in German! Pillowdelight (talk) 16:50, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Remix and The Collection

Should we include a short section in the article about Born This Way: The Remix and Born This Way: The Collection, similarly to Chromatica#Dawn of Chromatica? They are mentioned in the lead, but nowhere else in the main text. Sricsi (talk) 16:32, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think thats a great idea Sricsi —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 18:35, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great idea, but I think we don't need a section about Born This Way: The Collection, just mention it during the "Release and promotion" section. GagaNutella^talk 19:06, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I added it. GagaNutella, I included it in a separate section, similarly to the Chromatica article, but feel free to merge it with the Release section if you think that's better. --Sricsi (talk) 20:56, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have merged them, because they were not that huge or made impact to have their own section. But thank you for adding, that was missing! GagaNutella^talk 02:55, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
