  • @Ss112: Being that So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (song) is an existing redirect to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (film) where the song is mentioned, I'm hesitant to replace it. Unsure at this stage if one truely has notability over the other as Google returns mostly equal results for each when searched for. — IVORK Discuss 22:48, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • I have reverted IVORK's move so that a move discussion can take place. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 03:22, 20 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Yes, sorry IVORK, I meant "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (A Perfect Circle song)". @GeoffreyT2000: Why did you undo the move to the correct space? The "a" in "and" should not be capitalised per MOS:CT. I don't see any reason to contest the page move. I didn't mean move it to the "(song)" title, so what IVORK did was what I meant—there was no need to undo it. Ss112 04:00, 20 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • When I created the article, I didn't place this song at the "(song)" disambiguation because it was a redirect to the So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish book. I've never read the book, but I have read that such a song (unrelated to this song) exists within the scope of the book. With the book being part of a long running, popular series, it seemed like a viable search term for the book's song. As far as whether or not to capitalize the "And" - whatever. Both spellings redirect here so I don't really care. I chose what I did just because I copy/pasted it from a reliable source. I just picked one because I wasn't sure which was correct. So do whatever. Sergecross73 msg me 12:42, 20 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose People might confuse it with the Garth Jennings song from the film's soundtrack. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (disambiguation) should be created containing the book and both songs to avoid confusion. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (song) should redirect to said disambiguation.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:45, 21 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Just to be clear again, my original request was a mistake. I just wanted the "a" decapitalised, not to move it to "(song)". Ss112 12:07, 22 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
