RELEASE DATE 2016 was Changed due to TRUMPS win[edit]

why there is not written that they have changed the date of release because of TRUMP ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.189.28.120 (talk) 18:11, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's an entire paragraph about this - do you need Trump's name in giant bold letters to spell it out? Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 19:00, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, it wasn't just the small-handed one that caused the change in release date. The paragraph that discusses it currently starts, "The group had planned to release Songs of Experience in the fourth quarter of 2016, but ultimately decided to delay it; after the shift of global politics in a conservative direction".

Songs seemingly confirmed so far[edit]

Use of deprecated source (The Sun)[edit]

A few months ago, information that was supported by an article in The Sun was removed, since the source was ruled to be deprecated. In general, I would agree with removing information supported by such a source, but I believe there are other circumstances to consider before the article in question is completely disregarded. First, the information that was added to this article was direct quotes from the band members. Second, the author of the article is Simon Cosyns, the deputy editor of The Sun (meaning second in command). His review of the band's 2014 album Songs of Innocence was listed on the band's official website. He has also had interviews with the band in the past, including this one, in which you can see him in a photo with the band. All of this is a long way of stating that there appears to be an established rapport between Cosyns and U2, and I would find it hard to believe direct quotations of the band members could not be considered reliable for use in this case. What do others think? Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 19:55, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
