Talk:After All (The Miracles song)

Latest comment: 4 years ago by Cwmhiraeth in topic Requested move 22 September 2019

Article title edit

Since the original artist was The Miracles (from their album Hi... We're the Miracles), shouldn't this article be moved to After All (The Miracles song)? Although it is not specifically spelled out at Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Music or Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs#Naming, I believe that standard disambiguation is by original artist.--ShelfSkewed Talk 17:14, 9 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

After All (The Miracles song)After All (Miracles song) – I don't know exactly what should be discussed, as requested by @Amakuru:, but this was already discussed at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Music. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 22:40, 22 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Speedy move per Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Music#RfC: using "The" in song/album article titles. It seems that Amakuru disputes the outcome of that RfD, but this really isn't the place. PC78 (talk) 23:09, 22 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Support speedy move per nom and PC78. Dicklyon (talk) 23:35, 22 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. The band is called The Miracles, not "Miracles", so our disambiguation should say that. And the RFC in question (on a little-watched subpage of the MOS) was contested immediately afterwards as it was a clear no consensus and also garnered less support than a normal RM would. Certainly not a reason to ram through large numbers of changes without any RMs. A change to naming of this magnitude should be discussed at WT:AT, where the policy on naming is established.  — Amakuru (talk) 02:07, 23 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
One person opposed the close, I mean WP:PDAB (when existed) was approved (I don't remember the exact figures, but it had 1 figure above) 8-7 (let's say). Even though I opposed it and contested it properly I did not go opposing PDabs and moving pages back. I waited 3 months to request its demotion and removal from the guidelines; now it serves as a supplement but not an enforced guideline. MOS:MUSIC might be an obscure guideline, but so is any MOS:X, they are meant to guide in specific situations (in this case music-related articles), and the writing of that page applies exclusively to music-related pages. This omission and decapitalization of "the" is not new, it has existed for years at WP:THE and Category:The Beatles. This has nothing to do with WP:AT because a) parentheses are not a subject of AT but WP:DAB, and b) this is part of WP:NCTHE. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 14:37, 24 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
