... that Robert Smith's demo vocals for "Not in Love" were so captivating that Crystal Castles canceled their studio recording plans to keep his original demo in the final track?

- Man, I haven't heard this record in years. @Skyshifter: Not a review, but I would question whether this deserves a standalone article when the content could be merged into Not in Love (Platinum Blonde song). This would not affect eligibility here because it can run as a 5x expansion.--Launchballer 18:17, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree with a merge as this version got coverage of its own for being its own thing. It certainly meets WP:NCOVER ("Notable covers are eligible for standalone articles, provided that the article on the cover can be reasonably detailed based on facts independent of the original"). I think this is a valid case of having a separate article. Skyshiftertalk 18:28, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- I guess. Not that it's your problem, but the original's really short and I'd question its notability. Might redirect it to your article and see if anybody whinges. Full review needed.--Launchballer 18:39, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- This is the oldest fully unreviewed nomination and I need a QPQ, so I'm reviewing. Long enough, new enough. QPQ done and Earwig only picks up quotes. Article and source say "because we were all attached to his raw demo vocals" and the hook says "were so captivating", and I'm not convinced these are exactly the same thing.--Launchballer 10:02, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

- ALT1: ... that Crystal Castles canceled their studio recording plans for "Not in Love" because they became attached to Robert Smith's demo vocals?

- Good enough for me. (I still think that Not in Love (Platinum Blonde song) should be redirected to your article, but I'll leave you to pull the trigger.)--Launchballer 10:26, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

"The original"
editFor this song, the original is Platinum Blonde in 1983. It was barely any difficulty to fit that in with what was already written here, and the original, though not the hit of the century, did become well known enough that calling the Crystal Castles album version "original" sounded very weird. (Maybe it only sounded weird to an old man, but some old men do read stuff on Wikipedia.) :) TooManyFingers (talk) 14:30, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
