Talk:When You Get a Little Lonely

Sales?
There no mention of sales or chart success, let alone discussion. We have no sense of either the material or social impact of this record. The article mentions she was ‘hopeful’ that radio stations would play her music. Did they?

Seems like a huge hole, especially for a featured article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.94.198.170 (talk) 15:40, 4 April 2020 (UTC)


 * The album did not chart. There is not any information on how much it sold or its performance on radio. The "Composition and sound" section provides information on the album's overall sound. The album did not have any social impact to the best of my knowledge, but the "Aftermath" section provides information on McCormick's response to the album and her continued work in country music. I do not see this "huge hole" that you are talking about. Aoba47 (talk) 17:10, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm gonna back up Aoba here. Sales info isn't available for all albums. It's not a hole in an article if the info literally doesn't exist. Toa Nidhiki05 20:34, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The information does exist even if you can’t find it. Regardless, this was a commercial album described in the article as a failure. The reader necessarily wonders about this question and thus, yes, it is a huge hole. If you can’t find sales data, that’s notable and the author should write that. Besides, you know that the album failed to chart. A complete article would certainly mention that. Really, who would leave that out? We are talking about a commercial project. Maureen McCormick did not make an album just because she felt like it. Otherwise why stop here? Let’s have an article about Maureen McCormick’s home cooking or knitting or something then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.94.198.170 (talk) 15:40, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia pages can't in the first person say "this information does not exist" unless a reliable source says it, because sales numbers almost certainly do exist in some accounting book somewhere. The problem is this information isn't public and hasn't been reported by, well, anyone. If you want to try and find it, you're genuinely more than welcome to. Toa Nidhiki05 00:58, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree with Aoba and Toa for the reasons they gave above. Thanks. Moisejp (talk) 02:11, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
