Song

There is an old song "about" Lodz that has a version that was very popular a few decades ago. It is "Theo, wir fahr'n nach Lodz" (pronounced with an L and written with no diacriticals). is this worth mentioning? Information about the song can be found on the German Wikipedia.

Yes, it should: WP DE and PL have it pl:Theo_wir_fahr'n_nach_Lodz Zezen (talk) 10:32, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kdammers and Zezen: It should be described if it is notable, and it is notable if it has a decent coverage in reliable sources. Wikipedia (dewiki & plwiki) is not a source reliable enough for Wikipedia (enwiki). What is well known or even important for Polish or German culture may be of no meaning for the English-speaking part of the world. So seek appropriate sources and if you find them, then add information here. --CiaPan (talk) 18:28, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, us are too lazy. Just FYI that there are sources in the PL/DE/* wikis. Bows Zezen (talk) 21:51, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lazy but not tooo lazy. Here are some sources: https://www.kulturforum.info › de › beitrag › 181-1000175-theo-wir-fahr-n-nach-lodz, https://sachsen-net.com › veranstaltungen › Sonderausstellung-Theo-Wir-Fahr-N-Nach-Lodz-Sachsen-96672.ht

Sorry, but I do not see how this is central to this article. It's largely trivial. Merangs (talk) 22:43, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it is not central to the article, but it is relevant. (There is a lot of content to the article that is not central.) The song is fairly significant in German pop music history and very significant in the career of the singer. Pop culture references are common in Wikipedia articles. Kdammers (talk) 01:42, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is even an entire section on the city in literature and film. I think that is practically an invitation to add information about it in other art forms. Kdammers (talk) 01:44, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation guide

I can see there has been much discussion along these lines. But not having any pronunciation guidance in this article currently is a big fail, IMO. This is an English-language article, and it ought to offer some guidance for how to say "Łódź" in English; even if there are disagreements about that, those can be part of the guidance.
