Please add a fair use rationale for the cover on Image:Smells Like Teen Spirit.jpg. Thanks, Ilse@ 09:52, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

I have redirected the article back to the album. The provided sources in this edit are not substantial coverage of the song and do not establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 19:57, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, but I am going to change the re-direct to the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" which had the definitive version, as the version on "With the Lights Out" is a demo version. Cheers.QuintusPetillius (talk) 14:41, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The addition of more sources does not really address the issue of notability. The coverage needs to be significant and not passing mentions. Here is a breakdown of the sources in the article as of this version.

  1. "The Rough Guide to Nirvana" (Gaar) provided with no page numbers. The provided link to the book is 404 for me as well. I looked using teh preview for this edition. A search for the song title in the book shows is just a bunch of passing mentions and not significant coverage.
  2. "In utero" (Gaar) also no page numbers. I assume this is supposed to be the book "Nirvana's In Utero" as Gaar has no book by the name just "In Utero". I checked this edition. Again, the coverage is not substantial.
  3. This would be the same book as the previous reference.
  4. "Heavier Than Heaven. A Biography of Kurt Cobain" (Cross) with no page numbers. I used this edition. Again the coverage of the song is not significant.
  5. This reference is the same book as 1.
  6. Rolling Stone list does not provide any significant coverage.

These sources verify facts but do not establish notability. The redirect should be reinstated. -- Whpq (talk) 19:04, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These sources do verify facts and establish notability. They explain why the song was created and what it is about. DarklyShadows (talk)

The coverage needs to be significant. None of the sources represents the significant coverage needed for a standalone article -- Whpq (talk) 11:47, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whpq, I am going to revert the redirect for you to see if the stuff I added will work out better. DarklyShadows (talk)
