I think this should be changed to "This_Boy_(The_Beatles)", and give the Franz Ferdinand song it's own page, at "This_Boy_(Franz_Ferdinand)". Have This_Boy redirect to either a disambiguation page, or default to The Beatles version, with a link to the Franz page at the top. --69.247.169.233 11:52, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree, rather than just delete anything Franz Ferdinand related with the song and make the page just about The Beatles version is not the answer. The Beatles song is only a b-side, whilst the Franz Ferdinand song is one of the most popular songs on their album "You Could Have It So Much Better", and therefore also deserves its own page. If that is not possible then both bands should share the same page, rather than have Beatle fans deleting any Franz Ferdinand information, and vice versa. Willinspain 10:04, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Franz Ferdinands This Boy is not a cover of The Beatles This Boy! The Beatles This Boy [1], Franz Ferdinands This Boy [2]. //Farks 18:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Iwanttoholdyourhandcover.jpg

Image:Iwanttoholdyourhandcover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] But what albums is the song on now?

I realize this was a B-side, and that in Britain in the 1960s, singles weren't put on albums. However, this article should mention which albums the song is on, because that is useful information. --63.25.5.18 (talk) 23:49, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
