Number of Promo Singles
I think we should wait until 3 promo singles are confirmed to add it in the article. For all we know, this may be the only one. Also, there is only one more Monday- May 16th -to release a promo single. The following Monday is the 23rd, the albums release date. This is why 3 promo singles does not make sense. Zpenguin23 (talk) 16:22, 8 May 2011 (UTC)Zpenguin23

I agree, it will be most likely just 2 promo singles. 84.113.151.242 (talk) 17:30, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

The Fame and The Fame Monster both had one promo each, this could be it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mi.bryson (talk • contribs) 18:21, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Third Studio Album?
I assumed that 'Born This Way' was Lady Gaga's second studio album, not her third. The Fame Monster is an EP so Born This Way is not the third studio album... it's the second. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.189.97 (talk) 18:05, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * We have gone through this already. Gaga herself called Born This Way as her third studio album, so there's no point of taking this thing up again. Squidoh (talk) 15:43, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Leave it, it's a promotional single, that's what it should be listed as. calvin999 (talk) 22:03, 9 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, because if many other can have an article for every song in their albums why can't Gaga have an article for a promo single? Deletion considerations can be deleted by anyone and since the issue is settled (the single was released and there are many reviews to come) the "Deletion considerations" will be removed.
 * Since there is still an active deletion discussion at WP:AFD, any arguments for or against deletion should happen over there. The AfD template should not be removed from the article until that discussion has closed. Regards, Orange Suede Sofa  (talk) 01:10, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Protection
So much for Wikipedia being the "online encyclopedia that anyone can edit." Basically it's become an online site for slanted press releases and one-sided chart/boxscore information. I'm sure it will take an act of God to get someone to post that the single dropped from #3 to #19 in its second week. 24.211.211.161 (talk) 18:46, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Now this is just ridiculous. Why is this article protected? You complain on how this article doesn't meet Wikipedia's policies, and then you block it so some people aren't able of improving it. I just realized how silly (not to say other word, because I would be blocked) Wikipedia long-time editors are. So, so sad. --190.43.48.38 (talk) 22:20, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Deletion
Why is there still a debate about whether this page should be deleted?! 1. It's an official single 2. It has been reviewed 3. It's been out for 4 days; that is about 96 whole hours! Therefore, it must be kept! Why is it still being thought about?! Make your (pardon my French) fucking minds up!
 * Once the AfD is started, it should be allowed to run its course. At the time of this article's creation, a reasonable argument could have been made that the song was not notable per Wikipedia's established guidelines. -- Striker force Talk Review me! 23:29, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ).
 * This is not on the actual deletion page, so it will not count towards anything.
 * At Wikipedia, the existence of something (let's say a single in this case) does not make it notable. Music projects have to meet the music notability guideline for inclusion into this encyclopedia.

Orphaned references in The Edge of Glory
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The Edge of Glory's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "canada":<ul> <li>From Christmas Tree (Lady Gaga song): </li> <li>From Dance in the Dark: </li> <li>From Paparazzi (Lady Gaga song): </li> <li>From Just Dance: </li> <li>From Judas (Lady Gaga song): </li> <li>From Chillin (Wale song): </li> <li>From The Remix: </li> <li>From LoveGame: </li> </ul>

One of Gaga's Greatest Songs
Rolling Stone has called The Edge of Glory as Gaga's third greatest song ever, behind Paparazzi and Bad Romance. They said: "Is it a song, or a hurricane? Gaga's sublime dance-rock anthem, written about her grandparents, is powered by bombastic power chords and even more bombastic lyrics.", finally stating that "Just when you think it can't get any bigger, Clarence Clemons steps into the spotlight…" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evengan (talk • contribs) 18:36, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Edit request
In the line "The Edge of Glory" was released digitally on May 9, 2011, and officially impacted United States mainstream radio on May 17, 2011 in the lede, I think "impacted" is a poor word. Will someone please change it to "entered" or "officially began playing on"? Thanks. 68.35.40.154 (talk) 18:44, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * ❌ "Impacted" is the term used by the radio industry. Adabow (talk · contribs) 19:21, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, guess what Wikipedia is not? If you guessed "the radio industry" then you are correct. Unless there is specific justification we don't use jargon—we use senses found in standard dictionaries. To regular readers the sentence sounds like the song had a meteoric collision with airwaves which is of course absurd. There is no justification for using this obscure sense in defiance of common sense. 68.35.40.154 (talk) 23:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * ❌ As Adabow said to you, common jargon by industry measures are acceptable. — <i style="color:blue;">Legolas</i> ( talk 2 me ) 04:37, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * We're not writing for radio-industry insiders, but for a much wider readership. I can cope with "impacted" without the subsequent "on" (which would normally be required, but is probably not used in this sense within the industry). What I can't cope with is the lack of clarity.

"was released digitally on May 9, 2011, and officially impacted United States mainstream radio on May 17, 2011 as the first of two promotional singles before the album's release."
 * So what exactly does it mean? I'm struggling to work it out, which is not a good sign that the meaning is clear enough for our readers. Does it mean, for instance, that radio stations were permitted to broadcast the item from May 17 onwards? If so, why not just say "and were broadcast by US mainstream radio from May 17, 2011 ...? The problem with "impacted" for the normal readers is that they're likely to understand it as "had an impact", which is not really what you mean, is it. To start with, any "impact" (an assumption, actually) would be on the listeners, not on the radio industry. This needs to be recast. Tony   (talk)  07:57, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * How does "sent to radio" sound? Adabow (talk · contribs) 07:59, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It's better, but you don't like my suggestion? It seems simpler and more obvious to me. Tony   (talk)  08:03, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The thing is that radio probably started playing the song before May 17, but Lady Gaga's labels added the song to mainstream playlists for May 17. Individual radio stations may have started to play the song, although mainstream radio US-wide would not have added it to their daily rotation. I believe that labels pay for songs to be added to such playlists, thereby promoting the songs. I may have just confused you even more (like many other US things, I don't quite understand fully), so Legolas, could you also explain? Adabow (talk · contribs) 08:14, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

For the record, I solicited Tony's opinion here. 68.35.40.154 (talk) 08:39, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you IP, and Tony, Adabow is right that the song might have been played in the radio before the impact date. I understand the "general" reader understanding thing, and would like to suggest that if we change it, we change it to something a little more explanatory. Like instead of "impacted US radio..." we can write "The song was added to US radio's playlist on .....". Thereby we clarify the "adding of a song" also, and it removes any redundancy of whether it was played before "date" or after "date" etc. — <i style="color:blue;">Legolas</i> ( talk 2 me ) 13:19, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

On Monday, July 18, 2011, Lady Gaga appeared on Sirius/XM's Howard Stern Show where she performed bothe The Edge of Glory & Hair. "By the end of the interview, Stern became an official little monster, declaring that Gaga's acoustic version of 'The Edge of Glory' was “one of the best performances we’ve ever had on the show.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/19/lady-gaga-howard-stern_n_902575.html

Chart performance
It should be noted that The Edge Of Glory climbed from No. 37 to No. 7 after the performance on the Germany's Next Top Model finale. The song did so without an official release as the physical release is on July 8, 2011 (e.g. Amazon.de) and the version you can buy in digital shops (I-Tunes/Amazon.de) is the album track, and not a seperate single version, so there hasn't been a digital release neither. --79.199.52.239 (talk) 11:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * You need to provide sources for everything you just said. — <i style="color:blue;">Legolas</i> ( talk 2 me ) 11:09, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

But you can look it all up, I don't think a source is necessary therefore. BTW: The song climbs to No. 6 this week. Could you include this please? I can't give an source yet because Media Control only gives some infos on Tuesday and releases the total top 100 on Friday. If xou don't believe me, ask them or wait until Friday! --79.199.15.116 (talk) 22:44, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It is already updated to number six. — <i style="color:blue;">Legolas</i> ( talk 2 me ) 04:46, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

The reasons of changing "The Egde of Glory" video's concept?
In this interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO9N8c2ULr8), Lady Gaga explained the reason why she chose to direct "The Edge of Glory" to celebrate the life, and so on. Do you think we should add? I bet that some people are misunderstanding about why she changed the director & the decision of simplifying the video. It is ALL explained here! †hinhin_of_you / buzzworthy / βoy Ünder Ғlowers 16:15, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Some points
Can I just say that the Critical reception and the Music video Reception sub section are too long, especially the latter, which is excessively long, and that both should be shortened. It looks like a hardcore fan is trying to literally squeeze as much in as possible. There is too much to read in both sections. Quality over quantity is better sometimes.

Usa certification
Please add Usa certification 2X beacuse Edge of Glory sold more than 2 million coppies in Usa.Thank's! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.201.184.157 (talk) 20:30, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Genre
I have se that de genre has been olvided, in this song — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.244.23.10 (talk) 19:11, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure what is trying to be said here, but there is no genre mentioned within the article or within specific citations. For example, at one point it says electro-rock in the article, but the specific mention is not within the citation. Until you have specific sources giving the song a genre, we can't call it anything. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:42, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Billboard's "20 Best Songs of the 2010s"
The title here is a misnomer. There's nothing "on the edge" about this track: like all of Lady Gaga's vital songs, it's fully committed, with lyrics that would fit the climactic scene of a war movie, an imperious beat, and synthesizers like battering rams. This song is also notable for its saxophone solo -- famously provided by the E Street Band's Clarence Clemons -- which predated 2014's explosion of sax hooks by multiple years. 

For future reference. –Chase (talk / contribs) 21:46, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
