Talk:Please Don't Do It Here

I disagree. With respect to the editors here, information about these songs on the internet is scarce, and merely listing this is insufficent, in particular if Wiki is to be more than just a cursory website. What better way to guide people to the history of this and her other unrecorded compositions than to have pages which provide details and guide students of her career as to where they can find these songs and details as to how they came to be written but never recorded? --Tal1962 (talk) 16:17, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

I have also increased the information on the page to include other reliable sources of information, including a link to the proof that the songs are in copyright, as well as the fact that they have been discussed in numerous publications, and in interviews with Holiday which are available today on CD or in print. --Tal1962 (talk) 16:32, 12 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I want to point out that Wikipedia, in a sense, is supposed to be a cursory website, in comparison to the sources from which the material it contains is drawn. As an encyclopedia, it's meant to be a compendium of information found elsewhere. It isn't intended to be a repository for every piece of information that has ever existed: notability requirements prevail.


 * However, you have provided quite a few references, and though I can't verify them because they are off-line, it seems that an undiscussed deletion isn't warranted, so I've removed the PROD tags. (FYI, even as the author, you can remove PROD tags [but not speedy deletion] tags yourself, though an explanation, at least in the edit summary, is recommended.) If someone still wants to challenge the merits of a full article on this song, it will need to go through a deletion discussion. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:51, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. If it would help, I am prepared to photocopy my references (I have a large home library) and send them via snail or email (as attachments). Barring this, I am also prepared to cite the page numbers and to quote related text from those pages.--Tal1962 (talk) 23:07, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
