As famous as this song is, including in its second life in the film Dirty Dancing, is the absence of a "?" really enough to pass WP:CRITERIA here for titling?. The "?" was left off the '45 label and sleeve by Motown in 1962, but we see some modern print sources adding it in, such as Billboard - 5 Nov 1994 - Page 78 "ENLISTING MOTOWN VETS - Working in Atlanta, producer Peters created tracks for Gordy compositions like "You've Made Me So Very Happy" (first popularized by Brenda Holloway), "Lonely Teardrops," the late Jackie Wilson's 1958 smash, the Contours' hit "Do You Love Me?," and "You Are You," a particularly rare tune that was one of Gordy's first compositions." This is a case where showing the name of the band would help readers. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:48, 29 December 2017 (UTC) --Relisted. Paine Ellsworth put'r there 21:52, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

- Perhaps the proposer could compile the relevant page view stats so that everyone considering this proposal doesn't have to look them up? --В²C ☎ 01:49, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - page views indicate that all other topics by this name get substantially less attention. Notably, the second most popular topic is Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance) - the album featuring the primary song. bd2412 T 18:15, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose. Pageviews indicate this song is the primary topic with or without a question mark. Showing the name of the band would hurt more searchers than it helps, because it would send the majority to a dab page instead of directly to the article they want.

- Oppose. The page-view counts show that the song is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by a margine of nearly 6:1. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:46, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
