Strong Oppose "See You In My Nightmares" is a significant song. It is notable for having charted on multiple official charts despite not being released as a single, and was the primary motivation for the creation of a dedicated experimental film by Spike Jonze titled We Were Once a Fairytale--that title being a lyric from the song itself. In addition, Pitchfork and other publications did cover the song and the development of the film. While I don't think this is the most ubiquitous track from 808s & Heartbreak, it is notable enough to warrant a dedicated page.TheKingLives (talk) 06:40, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Having charted doesn't indicate that is notable. Pitchfork source is nowhere in the article. I'm pretty sure that the information regarding the movie can be added on the 808's album page. Not only that but it was used as a backgrond song. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:16, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pitchfork source added. The rules for notability state that if an article is unlikely to grow past a stub it should be included elsewhere, but this article has grow past a stub and contains worthwhile information. Essentially, the song is significant enough that the artist has expanded it for use beyond the album, and as a result the song has been covered by numerous publications that are cited on the page.

Included a positive review from PopMatters in the article. TheKingLives (talk) 05:37, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is a sick joke indeed calling this a C class article, while this is not even a start one. So what about Pitchfork? It just talks about the movie, nothing else. At least PopMatters is something. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 00:15, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
