Merger proposal

I propose merging Criticism of Spotify into Spotify. "Criticism of Spotify" is arguably biased, and the merger is supported by the fact that WP:CRITS states "Articles dedicated to controversies about a topic are generally discouraged". Tbf69 14:58, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, there is signficant coverage of criticism against Spotify, and though the article may contain biased language, it can be cleaned up without resorting to an unnecessary merge. Theknine2 (talk) 18:44, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:CRITS and the fact that splitting articles is generally not a great strategy. Popcornfud (talk) 18:54, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose article has enough media coverage to keep it separate. War Wounded (talk) 12:38, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We can refer to WP:CORG, though. Adding the content of the spin-off into the main article would extend it substantially and thus put undue weight on the "Reception" section, which would also be overwhelmed with content pertaining to criticisms. Keeping it as a separate article with careful wording could be an easier way to achieve WP:NPOV in regards to the critiques leveled against the company.

I'm fairly sure controversy sections within articles are even more reviled, as @ASpacemanFalls hinted. Crusader1096 (message) 15:17, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Intro addition

@Wobuaichifan: I think your addition has merit, but wouldn't say it belongs in the intro. The criticism is extensively covered down in the article, so it may be better to add the bit about artists who support Spotify's model there, perhaps even extended with some quotes and prominent examples. For the intro, though, it's not essential to mention, I'd say. What do you think? ASpacemanFalls (talk) 08:57, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
