Unverifiable entries

edit

Masem, my removal of non-notable artists today was partly because I don't see an easy verification method to check whether edits such as this are fake or correct. The person making this edit did not cite a reference. I heard from Chris Lord-Alge that the name "Austin Seltzer" has been associated with fake production credits, and so I searched Wikipedia for the name. That name was added in the questionable edit. I was poring through this Fuser list trying to figure out which entries were valid and which were not, with no success, so I removed all the non-notable entries instead. How do gamers validate unreferenced changes to this list? Binksternet (talk) 03:49, 20 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

One can see the song in game, but there is also the credits page here by the developer [1] that confirms the song's use. I could have sworn there was at least one reliable 3rd party source that also listed those out too but will at the meantime add the harmonix credit page. --Masem (t) 05:56, 20 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the Harmonix link. I find it interesting that some songs in the link may be found at BMI Search, but not others. For instance, "Summer Hair" by David V. Santos is listed,[2] and "Black Phosphorous" by Oliver Lieb,[3] but not "Rip the Floor Open" or "Shanghai Slugfest" by Austin Seltzer, even though Seltzer is listed by Harmonix as a BMI writer.

Many songs such as Shanghai Slugfest or If You Get Down were either made for FUSER or for the game Dropmix. In my opinion we should probably remove most of them which are inside the DLC section aside from ones which were actually released as downloadable songs. The DLC section has become extremely out of date with songs which are not actually DLCs.

Diamond Store Songs

edit

Despite some songs being listed as DLCs such as "Take U 4 A Ride" by Righteous Palms Crew, they are not actually not DLC and are instead Diamond Store items which you pay an in-game currency called Diamonds in order to unlock them. Should they be removed or kept? SpeedrunnerInTraining (talk) 00:17, 28 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
