Re:Reversion to redirect

Pinging @Onel5969 Respectfully, unless you can "debunk" the individual citations, your claim that they are "unsourced" is unsupported. Regardless, hundreds of pages operate here on Wikipedia that do not "provide in-depth coverage" and I can list some of them if needed.******** What's your point?

Please read WP:VERIFY, oh, and WP:BURDEN. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:34, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:Onel5969 User:Trevortnidesserped, WP:BLAR would apply here, you need to AfD the article. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 17:48, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969: Hi, would you please re-consider the "notability" and "more citations needed" tags on this page now. If you're still concerned about notability, perhaps you should take it to AfD rather than just leave templates. Thanks a lot. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 10:29, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Self-published source

I removed the last brief review as the book cited is a self-published source (iUniverse). Content removed:

Another author, Gary Stromberg, describes the song as an "upbeat, toe-tapping, face-smiling song — a brotherhood-of-man type song in a part of the world where flower power had blossomed" in his 2009 book Every Tiger Has A Tale...^[1]^{[self-published source]}

Sources

Life magazine and Rolling Stone reviews are only partially quoted by other sources. You (or a willing editor with library access) really need to find the two original reviews and use and cite those directly. Content removed:

Life Magazine called the song "happy," "catchy," "simple," and "charming,"^[1]^[2]^[A]^{[better source needed]} while Rolling Stone called it "one of those simple little tunes that runs around your head forever."^[3]^{[better source needed]}

KQED

@Trevortnidesserped: In the Legacy paragraph for 2020, it says "They were also interviewed by KQED to further discuss the song" and references the video. I've already added KQED to the 40th anniversary in 2010. Was there a second KQED interview or was that simply misplaced? If so, that second 2020 mention needs deleting (not the ref, though).
