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 All Too Well'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.

The Atlantic, Vox, and others are writing about the 10 min version on its own. I think it is time to split the articles -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 22:41, 14 November 2021 (UTC) reply

I agree. I'm not experienced in splitting articles, or else I would've done it myself. Ronherry ( talk) 07:16, 15 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Best to incorporate it into this article. Reorganize and prune if necessary but it adds to the history of this song and shouldn't be separated. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars ^{Talk to me} 21:16, 15 November 2021 (UTC) reply

The article should be repurposed to serve Taylor's Version, with the original version merely being the 'history' of the track. This would make much more sense, be less confusing, and explain the history of the track and why it was re-recorded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.253.64.46 ( talk) 14:42, 18 November 2021 (UTC) reply

So, "ATWTMVTVFTV" is currently assigned with promotional single status on Wikipedia, while " Message in a Bottle" is a radio single with Billboard source, but no radio release date known (besides All Access' "Cool New Music" entry for the song on November 12, 2021). But in one of more recent Billboard articles, both songs were categorized as "deep cut-turned-hit single". So should we re-categorize "All Too Well" to full single? At least we have concrete release date thanks to digital release. Pinging Ronherry, Ippantekina and Doggy54321, since I assume you might be more knowledgable in this field. infsai ( talkie?

No, I don't think we should re-categorize. "Hit single" is very ambiguous because we know every publication uses that term if a song is a hit irrespective of whether it was sent to radio as a single or not. Moreover, Billboard publishes special articles/mentions for major single releases (in Swift's case at least), as seen in the case of Message in a Bottle or Cruel Summer; that did not happen in the case of All Too Well. Also, All Too Well never did impact any radio format as per All Access. It's 3 points against 1. So I think All Too Well should remain as a promo single on Wikipedia.

I agree with Ronherry. "Message In A Bottle" was listed on the 'Cool New Music' page as a single, which indicates that radio stations had promoted it. There is no impact date listed, but that just probably means they promoted it upon release like "I Bet You Think About Me". Nonetheless, it was confirmed as a single by AllAccess. "All Too Well" never got any of that treatment, which indicates its lack of a promotion by any means. Plus, radios are very strict with the length of songs they play, and there is an extremely low chance that a ten-minute song would get any airplay at all — " Virgo's Groove", a six minute song, was cut down to around three minutes for its radio release. At the end of the day, an album track becomes a promo single when it gains an independent release (music video, 'single' designation on a streaming service, digital download on the artist's website, etc), but the step that elevates a promo single to a full single is radio play.
