Usages in Madness (band) and Lovestruck (Madness song) may conflict with WP:NFCC#3a and/or WP:NFCC#8. The song is already searchable by the song title and band name, making the sample unnecessary to do the same role as those of the song and the title. Furthermore, the sample itself is almost no different from other samples of the song in other websites. In the song article, the cover art sufficiently conveys the branding, marketing, and distribution of the song and assists the text to improve understanding. The band article sufficiently tells what the band is about contextually. George Ho (talk) 02:09, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The article for the song provides zero contextual significance, and the article for the band does not touch on its composition at all—only chart performance. Those two things have nothing to do with each other. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 12:10, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Usages in Madness (band) and Our House (Madness song) may conflict with WP:NFCC#3a and/or WP:NFCC#8. Despite being a well-known song, I wonder whether the sample is necessary for mere identification. The text, the cover art, and the sample have the same purpose: drive readers into searching for the full song. If the text and the cover art are adequate to fulfill the same role and to convey the marketing, branding, and distribution of the song, then the sample may be unnecessary. Furthermore, the band article already conveys in text what the band is about contextually. George Ho (talk) 02:09, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The article for the song provides no contextual significance, and the article for the band does not touch on its composition—only its legacy. Those two things have very little to do with each other. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 12:10, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First time I nominated this cover, I was just questioning its presence when it brands a cover version of a hit song by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing". Furthermore, I initially thought the cover version itself didn't make much huge impact. Too bad certain editors disagree. Second time I nominated this, I also nominated the one I uploaded concurrent, hoping for more consensus. However, the only participants were only the uploader and I, who tried to make compromise and disagreed about which sole image to use to represent the cover version.

This and the third time, I'm nominating solely this German cover art in order to comply with WP:NFCC#3a and/or WP:NFCC#8. The uploader said something interesting when I first nominated the cover art: the Osmonds' cover is notable, having charted in the biggest music market in the world, the United States. That means that it was played by Casey Kasem on American Top 40 and thus aired worldwide. However, the American music stores received the US edition(s) that lacked a picture sleeve as evident in discogs, 45cat, and an eBay listing. One must question why the German cover art, originally distributed in Germany, is used in the song article when the US edition didn't use a picture sleeve in "the biggest music market in the world". Possibly to help readers identify singers on the front cover? To help readers recognize the song title? Furthermore, the cover version itself was recorded in the US by the American music duo.

In order words, let's scrap the German cover art and display a portion of the US release, regardless of how the US single currently is to modern music listeners (and classics enthusiasts?). George Ho (talk) 19:43, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
