Talk:I'll Be Gone (Linkin Park song)

Spectrum claims song first

The band Spectrum already took it first since they released it in 1971 before Linkin Park did in 2012. Look up this page: I'll Be Gone (Spectrum song). You'll see it and change it eventually. Skylar3214 5:27, 18 April 2014

What is the point of this statement exactly? SilentDan297 talk 19:58, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Good question. Linkin Park wasn't really the first rock band to write the song. It was all Spectrum's idea to write it down in 1971 before Linkin Park did in 2012. Why is it titled as "I'll Be Gone (Spectrum song)" in the first place? This calls for a redirect from "I'll Be Gone" to "I'll Be Gone (Linkin Park song)", and then from "I'll Be Gone (Spectrum song)" to "I'll Be Gone". Skylar3214 11:53, 20 April 2014

If you believe that a move should be done, then request a move of multiple pages. I personally believe that due to the recognition between artists, that It should stay the same, Spectrum have barely charted and made any cultural impact, where as Linkin Park are a huge award winning band and have made impacts on the face of nu metal and music, all together making them much more notable, also the pages related to Spectrum appear to be mostly original research and have very few references to back up its information. However its better to request a move to get the opinions of other Wikipedians to get a fair vote. SilentDan297 talk 10:18, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
