The Betrayed

Hello. Your recent edits seem to show me that you haven't grasped the idea behind moving pages. When a page is moved, all of it's history is taken along with it, which can be vital information needed for later reference. Lostprophets' fourth studio album should have been moved to The Betrayed or The Betrayed (album); instead of just creating a new page. Then we could see that the page has been redirected to Lostprophets before, for failing notability.

The main issue is with the fact you moved The Betrayed to The Betrayed (film), with seemingly no effort to cover your tracks (fix links). The pages that linked to The Betrayed as a film, now link to the Lostprophets album, this needs to be patched up. Now The Betrayed (film) is practically orphaned. Also, I understand you're still working on the page, but I'll just remind you that it must be reliably sourced, considering it has been removed and merged to the Lostprophets page multiple times, as people have not been able to provide notability through the necessary means; such as track listing, title, release date, etc. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 13:50, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Righteo. Fair enough. Sorry if i sounded a little blunt. I'll try and pitch in and help you out. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 14:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Nav boxes and infobox chronologies are intended for ease of navigation only. Thus, only articles that actually exist are included. The single may well be sourced, but until an article exists, it is not added to nav boxes or chronologies. See Wikipedia:Navigation templates and Template:Infobox_Single#Chronology for more information. Cheers, Nouse4aname (talk) 13:52, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

No worries. Generally, with singles they are only notable after having been released, as they need to chart to satisfy WP:NSONGS, which is why singles generally don't get pages until they are released (though they are often created a week or two in advance).
