Edit warring on what are the album's singles besides the title track and what's not

So there has been edit warring and disputes on the article over the songs "Happy" and "Immortal", which some users claimed to be a part of the album's singles after the release of the title track (which is indeed supported by the article as a single). It has repeatedly been said that the former two are only promotional singles. Even these tweets by Marina say nothing about them being singles and are only just part of her "Froot of the Month" campaign. If she said they were singles, we still can't use Twitter as a source. @EduardoDiaminds, Kieranmcdermott1, Арина Романова, Bogglenose123, and MDNA:, I suggest I get your input on this since you are all involved in this. Anyone else's input is also welcome. IPadPerson (talk) 20:29, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]


What I'd like to say is that the only official single is I'm A Ruin. During the first listen on Huw Stephen's show on Radio 1 he confirmed that it's the lead single. Froot, Happy, and the other Froots Of The Month are just promotional releases. Merna and the Gagzonds (talk) 13:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]


As long as you source the first listen comment about I'm A Ruin being the lead, and the other Froots being promos, I have no problem with the singles box changing. I just assumed they were all singles as they all got a radio service, a video, and were released to iTunes... Happy even got it's own single release as a stand alone, and not just an instant download track from FROOT. [1] We really should make a decision though, so we can change the info on the individual song pages, and Marinas discography. Azealia911 (talk) 14:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Leak & release date

Should it be mentioned that prior to the release the entire album had been leaked in February and that the release date was re-scheduled to be 2 weeks earlier? --2A02:810C:8C0:22C8:5CCC:47DC:1B19:E9CB (talk) 20:51, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 11 March 2015

– This is the only article listed on the disambiguation page that goes by the plain title Froot (except for the title track, understandably). The other articles (Dan Froot, Froot Loops, fRoots, Fruit) are easily accessible by their current and more specific titles, and would not suffer from the alternate spelling being given to the Marina and the Diamonds album. Not to mention the fact that Froot Loops are never simply called "Froot", and Dan Froot has only seen visited 175 times in three months. It is within reasonable assumption that readers typing in that spelling are looking for this record, and those that were looking for actual fruit will be well on their way with a hatnote.

The album is therefore much more likely to be sought than any other topic, and more than all the other topics combined, making it a clear primarytopic by usage, even when considering the PARTIALTITLEMATCHes, which we don't really need to. Long-term usage between the album and song probably favors the album as well. Dohn joe (talk) 13:18, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That is just WP:RECENT and based on web pages not books, it's a current pop item, of course it has current popularity by definition. But it doesn't have any long term significance in an encyclopedia. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:52, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed with In ictu oculi – where are the book results for Marina? Also, the "Froot" song got many page views upon initial interest (17.4k views in November, 11.6k views in December) and has tapered off as interest cooled (6.5k views last month). The album just came out; who's to say it won't do the same once its chart run has finished? –Chase (alternate account) (talk / alt contribs / main contribs) 15:45, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
