DAG

This is listed under the category of a song from a film, but I cannot find which film this song was written for. Unless someone can find the connection, this should be removed from the category. Dustman15 (talk) 18:11, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Single performances
Yes, the band performed the song. In fact, they performed it more than once. And they'll likely perform it again. Let's list a few of them at random and build up an indiscriminate list of times they played it. Oh, but wait, "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of information."

But there are sources... Yes, some of them are verifiable. That is important, but not everything that is verifiable is encyclopedic. I can verifiably state the species of trees planted next to a snack bar build next to the Statue of Liberty in the early 1980s. I can verifiably state how much the Park Service paid for each tree, the brand of concrete used to replace the sidewalk and the price of a hot dog at the snack bar at various times over the past several decades. I can likely also locate the names of several people who worked at the snack bar, the brand of napkins they use and lots of other trivia loosely connected to the Statue of Liberty. Should I add that info to Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island, National Park Service, hot dog, tree, etc.? Clearly not. How to decide...

"Star Spangled Banner" is one of hundreds of thousands of songs that have articles on Wikipedia. It's been around for a while. If we listed every time it's been performed, we'd have several hundred pages of major and minor league football and baseball games, various graduation ceremonies, Fourth of July Picnics, movies, TV shows, plays, concerts, albums, singles, etc. It would be a worthless mess that no one would ever read. Instead, we look to what independent reliable sources say. If a source about a movie/concert/TV show/whatever says the song was played, it might be worth including in an article about the movie/concert/TV show/whatever. If a source specifically about the song (some time after the movie/concert/TV show/whatever) discusses its use in the movie/concert/TV show/whatever it might be worth mentioning in the article. WP:WEIGHT is a good place to start. Other than that, it's a recent detail that is likely to not be of lasting importance. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 21:40, 16 May 2019 (UTC)


 * An editor from Malaysia continues to restore the material without discussion. If this continues, I will ask to have the article edit protected until they discuss the issue. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 17:33, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Genre
Anyone found any reliable sources for the song's genre?
