 * Can you be specific please? Show me exactly why removal of a subjective opinion that I would have thought didn't belong in a modern encyclopedia ("sounds mournful … is optimistic and uplifting") is vandalism (or even addition of an opinion, as one of your links suggests)? And why it's so important to defend a source allegedly saying so, when that subjective statement (from a possibly substandard source) can't even be checked because the link is dead? 83.177.253.91 (talk) 21:02, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi. As I said in the edit summary, you need to provide a full rationale for removal of sourced content. As you say, the source is perhaps "sub-standard" but is it actually unreliable and, if so, can you provide verification? Your best approach may be to read WP:BRD and open a discussion at the article's talk page. Thank you. PearlyGigs (talk) 21:22, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * How do you verify that a source is unreliable when it doesn't exist anymore? And what's objective, independent of personal perception, in the passage I deleted? Or alternatively, under which circumstances are opinions of that kind admissible here (outside of quotes and the like)? 83.177.253.91 (talk) 21:32, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
