Genre citation needed tag

I've removed {{citation needed}} from the claim "The song is an upbeat bubblegum pop track infused with a pop version of Irish traditional music". Is a ref really needed for this? It's not really a questionable claim as one can just listen to the track. -- Cowplopmorris^Talk_Contribs 18:30, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the data to back up the charts info? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.177.28.115 (talk) 08:36, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article has only one reference, it is in desperate need of a rewrite with refs — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.177.28.115 (talk) 09:00, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The page C'est La Vie (B*Witched song) currently redirects to C'est la Vie (B*Witched song), however this should actually be the other way around.

Oppose The French wouldn't capitalise it natively, and Wikipedia doesn't capitalise words like 'the' in mid sentence. -- Ohconfucius ^{ping / poke} 06:41, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Please see Wikipedia:NCCAPS#Capitalization_of_expressions_borrowed_from_other_languages CatFoodBreath (talk) 09:52, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose; all three sources capitalise it. I'm very wary of letting internal norms, written by wikipedians, overrule what sources say. bobrayner (talk) 20:09, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment; is this an article about a French idiom or about a pop song? The way the title is written on the sleeve in the picture is a bit of a giveaway? Or do we assume that the "sources" are all right and the sleeve designer was wrong? What did the group, Ray Hedges, Brannigan and Ackerman all intend, I wonder. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:14, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment; Every source I have come across has the capital 'L'. This includes the single, their album, YouTube and various websites.121.223.148.245 (talk) 14:24, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- ... and then, there's also the album title, of course. I see Johnny Hallyday has his own at fr.wiki. But one can't really draw any lessons from such a comparative non-English source, can one (?) Although not forgetting the 1973 Lane/Wood classic and single... Martinevans123 (talk) 14:54, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for the present time. Only because there is also a discussion regarding Category:B*Witched songs and a proposed change of name. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richhoncho (talk • contribs) 16:01, 4 March 2013‎ (UTC)[reply]

Rename to C'est La Vie (B-Witched song), since this is an English song, not a French topic, so should use English casing, "*" fails MOS:TM -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 05:10, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

C'est la Vie (B*Witched song) → C'est La Vie (B*Witched song) – This page needs to be moved, the capital "L" in "La" needs to be recognised the same as the "*" in B*Witched is. This is not about how it should be done according to english or french language but how the band has chosen to name the song, just as they did the band name. The "B*Witched" page is named "BeWitched (band)". 147.69.177.193 (talk) 13:14, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per MOS:CT, Wikipedia has a house style. See the C'est la vie dab page. The French article is generally lowercased. —BarrelProof (talk) 16:38, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per This Is the Life, we don't capitalize definite articles in English, why do so in French? (However I'm now of the opinion that MOS:CT isn't relevant since the dab list contains both English songs with "la Vie" and French songs with "la vie").

Importance of song as a masterpiece

I have added a mention in the article that this song is generally considered to be the finest musical composition of the modern era. Does this really need a citation or is it considered general knowledge? 2A04:CEC0:1012:A743:B4B8:C90E:8939:BEE4 (talk) 18:17, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And it's been removed because it's a hopeless unsourced exaggeration. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:25, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
