Requested move 22 July 2017

edit
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. There is already a DAB page at Broken Machine (disambiguation). The consensus seems clear that when the upcoming album is released, there can be another discussion but for now it wouldn't be necessary.

Broken MachineBroken Machine (song) – There is going to be an album by Nothing but Thieves of the same name coming out in September, and even though that article does not exist yet, I would like a dab page created early to distinguish this song and the upcoming album. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:818D:A6DB:D4B4:E7ED (talk) 11:55, 22 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Speedy procedural close this was just discussed last month, at the Requested Move above that determined this structure, therefore the speedy move request was procedurally wrong. -- 70.51.46.15 (talk) 08:00, 7 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • I don’t even see why this needs to be discussed. Look at the dab page. No other song with this name has an article except this song. I’m sorry, but I’m somewhat insulted. Is it really that hard to understand? JE98 (talk) 19:42, 7 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Broken Machine (Zowie song)Broken Machine (song) – I know I have requested this before, at this point, this is getting ridiculous. This is the ONLY song with an article called "Broken Machine", no other song with that name on the dab page has an article. I don't see why this is the name, and since the technical request failed miserably, I am going to have to formally request this move.

No, that's a misunderstanding of WP:DAB not uncommon among popular music editors but it isn't a hard and fast rule that contradicts common sense. Common sense here is this is a borderline notable song which shouldn't really have an article and with a new song of the same name out right now, therefore now is not the moment to be pointing Nothing But Thieves fans to an obscure New Zealand song from seven years ago. It'd be fun to send them off there, but it wouldn't be nice. So let's drop it. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:51, 20 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
Unless you create it, that song will not be getting on mainstream charts or much airplay except on Radio 1, where most alternative songs played there do not make the Official Charts top 40. Trust me, I know what the chart's like, and I highly doubt the Nothing but Thieves song, as much as I like the band, will get popular or have an article here.

Well, the new song came up first on YouTube. Not surprisingly. There's no shame in a song article having the artist's name. Let the Zowie song be labelled clearly per WP:TITLE or better merge this barely notable song into the album Love Demolition. The article has no content about the actual song anyway, and this is was a one-not-really-a-hit-wonder in New Zealand that the singer has never repeated. Does the encyclopedia need this song article?
