On 22 July 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to Views. The result of the discussion was not moved. |
The result of the move request was: Not moved no need as both "from" and "From" exist and they're both redirects. Although from was a double-redirect. Fixed the double-redirect. As such, there is no need for this move. Rather, if anything, Views From the 6 should be deleted per the discussion below, in favor of Views from the 6 which also exists. HOWEVER that is also inappropriate since that contains necessary history as the content of BOTH "from" and "From" was merged into the redirect target of Drake (rapper).

Please provide sources if you are going to post "possible tracks". Apart from "Summer Sixteen", the recently leaked tracks ("Controlla", "Faithful" and "Tell Me"), and the previously released"Can I" (purported to be from views); there is no indication that these tracks being posted in the possible tracks section exist. Various fake track lists exist on the internet, so please do not post these either unless they can be verified as real. 31.51.249.74 ( talk) 22:50, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

VIEWS (album) – The album cover name is all in capitals from his twitter announcement & all blogs have used the name 'VIEWS' in capitals. –

Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization( MOS:CAPS).
Avoid writing with all capitals, including small caps, when they have only a stylistic function. Reduce them to one of the other title cases or normal case, as appropriate( MOS:ALLCAPS). Instead of requesting a page move, I would recommend writing "Views (stylized as VIEWS) is the upcoming fourth studio album by Canadian rapper Drake."

Do any editors other than SmithN41V object to the labeling of "Hotline Bling" as a bonus track, as supported by Billboard, Forbes, Fuse, and the album packaging?
SmithN41V's rationale (per
this edit) is that there is no version of the album without this song
. I'm not exactly sure how that's relevant. If the artist (or record company) makes it a point to label a song as a bonus, there is no reason to withhold this information from readers.

The back cover says it a bonus track along with reliable sources and with Drake himself saying that it's a bonus track. I don't have any issues with it being listed as a bonus track. ilovemusic (Talk To Me!) 18:47, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
I agree with Calidum's compromise, you could say bonus track but add a note about the track underneath? -- contributions) 16:36, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

"Controlla" will impact US rhythmic contemporary radio on June 7, 2016, as the fourth single in North America. [1] 99.57.170.190 ( talk) 03:51, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
I reverted your change GentleCollapse16. There are also at least four sources who've described the reception as being "lukewarm": XXL, Noisey, Star Pulse, and most significantly MTV, whose article is cited in Views (album)#Critical reception and is a fairly fleshed out critique of the criticism toward the album, making it the better source on this particular topic. IMO, "lukewarm" can be reconciled with Metacritic's score (and "generally favorable reviews" calculation) more so than "mixed" can. Dan56 ( talk) 19:57, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
Why "lukewarm reviews", isn't Metacritic the main source for this one, specially being a recent album? Cornerstonepicker ( talk) 07:04, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
I see on Drake's discography page that many songs from the album charted in several nations. I realize not all songs that chart are inherently notable, but are there others on this album that editors think meet Wikipedia's notability criteria? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 17:55, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
What exactly is the difference between the CD and the digital download version? They both seem identical, with minor song length differences. Is it really that different and worth making a separate section? Personally I have not heard the CD version, so can anyone verify this? -- 129.78.56.199 ( talk) 03:25, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
Model it like Damn (album). Digital and CD in the infobox. -- Jennica✿ / talk 07:49, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
The CD tracklist is linked to Amazon.com, it counts as reliable source. Btw, no music publication cared enough to talk about the difference, so it shouldn't be in prose. Cornerstonepicker ( talk) 06:22, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Not enough consensus or evidence to to declare this album the primary topic of this word. ( closed by non-admin page mover) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mello hi! ( 投稿) 18:35, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Views (album) → Views – This is the only article with this title. This album has won several awards, and was nominated for even more. The album topped over 10 charts, and broke the record for most songs on the Billboard Hot 100, simultaneously. Suffice to say, this is the primary topic. Tree Critter ( talk) 08:22, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
if there is not an article at the singular form [of a word], it is more likely that a plural form can establish a separate primary topic. View is a disambiguation page rather than an article, suggesting that there's a strong case to move the album to the bare title of Views. Additionally, as the nominator notes, the album's article is currently the only article to have the plural title "Views", so WP:SMALLDETAILS favors this move as well.
