Talk:La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh)

References?
I noticed that there are no sources listed on this article - so I added the references tag. I'm particularly curious as to the comment about the Manics releasing Patrick Bateman as a single - in Manic Street Preachers: Sweet Venom by Martin Clarke (published in 1997, ISBN 0589652599) the author says "The lyrics were inspired, but the musical accompaniment was turgid, trudging soft metal, and James was quick to acknowledge this." I can't say if this is directly contradictory to the other comment, as it's a different band member, but it still needs clearing up. Desdinova 23:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Prod
I have removed the prod on this article because the guideline re: notability of individual songs is a general one and does not apply in everycase. The discography of one of the most significant modern bands is absolutely notable. For a start, a google search of the specific term "la tristesse durera (scream to a sigh)" returns 15,300 results reflecting the popularity of the band and this single in particular. The sources range from a vast number (due to tthe song's popularity) of hosts of the mp3, video, and lyrics of the song, to reliable sources indicating notability (e.g. listed in the guardian's 1000 songs everyone must hear http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/table/2009/mar/19/life-death-1000-songs-everyone-must-hear ) The song reached number 22 in the charts, was popular in the UK and Japan, per WP:notability subjects only need to prove notable once in their history to be valid. The article needs it's references improved for sure but the prod was not applicable in this case. Polyamorph (talk) 22:01, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This single has received significant coverage from a number of reliable third party sources and is certainly notable enough for a Wikipedia article. There's no way that this should've been marked for deletion. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 14:48, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
