Talk:Deport Them

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why have the external inks been removed, and then it claimed that the article does not cite sources? - the lyrics and video can be found on the internet if searched for. In any case the lyrics to the song and the video are sufficent sources for the claims made in the article - if further readings can be suggested, I would welcome them.

The links were removed per this guideline because they linked to sites which violate the copyrights of others. If the synopsis is based on what you feel the song is about, that would be original research. Original research is not appropriate for Wikipedia. --Onorem♠Dil 12:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

The subject of the song is quite clearly referenced by the lyrics which it uses. If a song or a poem uses a metaphor then it seems necessary that the meaning is to be inferred. Sean Paul is obviously not capable of deporting young women because the are 'not up to date' and it seems unlikely that there is a jamaican government agency to which he could report such women. In which case the notions he uses are metaphorical and metaphors require interpretation, if interpretation of a song is denied then how can it's themes be outlined? In any case the external sources followed the same lines as the other Sean Paul songs which are described by articles in wikipedia; either amend these articles or stop tampering.

The interpretation of the song needs to be done by someone else and reported in a reliable source. That interpretation can then be added here and referenced. I don't care what exists in other Sean Paul articles. I noticed this article, and was working to fix this article. Your accusation of tampering is inappropriate. Please assume good faith. --Onorem♠Dil 12:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Please re outline the song yourself making references to it's themes, and edit the articles on the sean paul songs "breathe" and "gimme the light", removing the link to youtube from the former, and the link to the lyrics of the latter, to maintain consistency Robat 13:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm not going to outline the song myself. I've never heard the song, and couldn't care less about it. I'm not going to spend time researching something I have no interest in to try to find references that would be appropriate here. Thanks for pointing out the other articles. I'll happily remove the links. I wish you hadn't added the copyvio YouTube link back into this article though. --Onorem♠Dil 13:21, 28 August 2007 (UTC) It has been removed Robat 13:52, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
