Talk:Shawn Mendes (album)

I have 2 questions.
1) Isn't call, "Shawn Mendes: The Album", not just "Shawn Mendes" 2)Lost In Japan is just a promotional single, right? Idk wtp98 (talk) 05:24, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * According to iTunes, is only Shawn Mendes. "Lost in Japan" has this issue.. it wasn't made available with the album preorder (like most "promotional singles"), it has the same type of release of "Castle on the Hill".. I'm unsure. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 17:34, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Album Cover
Should it be mentioned that the album cover was inspired by a fan's work using the app "Photo Lab"? --Redandsymmetry (talk) 18:40, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Only citing a reliable source stating that. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 05:02, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I think we might have one. Hayman30 (talk) 16:27, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * "some fans have noted" that "it look similar to". Nothing concrete. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 19:21, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Non singles
"Where Were You In the Morning?" and the next "Nervous" are promotional singles. Both came with the album preorder, and no radio release date so far. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 23:03, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Again, no radio dates doesn't mean it's a promo single. "Youth" came with the album pre-order as well, that doesn't make it a promo single. Hayman30 (talk) 23:05, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The Forbes contributor doesn't even know if they are singles or promo singles:

"“In My Blood,” which dropped in March. That pop-rock affair was immediately followed by fellow singles (or were they promotional singles?)""


 * We should stick to whatever WP uses for buzz singles, which are not released to radio.

 * Wikipedia's definition is outdated. Tons of singles were not released to radio. Radio is not the sole determining factor. Additionally, Rolling Stone called it a single. Hayman30 (talk) 23:21, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Billboard called all five songs "singles". It has even gone as specific as calling "Nervous" the fifth single. Hayman30 (talk) 09:22, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Forbes calls "Nervous" only song and not single. . I guess even Forbes can't distinguish what they are. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:53, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Again, calling it a song doesn't mean it's not a single. Billboard explicitly called it the fifth single, that's more than enough. Hayman30 (talk) 16:34, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Target edition
Oddly, I was able to purchase the Target edition where I live despite there not being a Target anywhere near me. I got the version from Walmart. Should something about this be mentioned? --Redandsymmetry (talk) 20:15, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Producers
John Mayer is a producer on this album, but his name is not listed under "Producers" in the infobox. Asquinon (talk) 06:57, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Revive Shawn Mendes: The Tour article
There have been disagreement with tour information being a separate article deeming the tour is not as notable. I deem it notable as Mendes is playing more shows than the Illuminate World Tour, and he is playing his first stadium show in this tour. I originally created the tour article when the tour was announced, but it was made to a redirect page as it lacked sources. It makes no sense to put tour information in an album article page as there is already a lot of information. Tour information is also coming slowly as more dates will be announced in the future, and more information will come once the tour commences. I do try my best to follow WP:CRYSTAL guidelines. Granted, that this tour was announced in May 2018, and the tour is starting in March 2019, but once a tour announcement happens, it is heavily reported. The only issue is most sources repeat the same information, which is why I limit what sources I use to cite the tour announcement. So do we want to revive the tour article as the tour has just started? Musicpoplover12 (talk) 15:20, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

If I Can't Have You and Señorita
I know it says on the edit page that both "If I Can't Have You" and "Señorita" were released as stand-alone singles and then added to the deluxe edition, but shouldn't those respective pages then also be edited in order to say that they weren't singles from the deluxe edition? Right now, in the infobox it says that they are both a single from "Shawn Mendes" and in the main text it also says that they are respective first and second singles from the deluxe edition of "Shawn Mendes". Why aren't they though? Usually, there are a few singles launched before the album is dropped. Like for example, "In My Blood", "Lost in Japan" and "Youth" were all released prior to the album release. Why isn't that also the case for "If I Can't Have You" and "Señorita"?

 * They should be listed as the singles from the album just like "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" (2017) and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (2015). -U990467 (talk) 02:59, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
