Sweet Nothing (Calvin Harris song)Sweet Nothing (song) – This is the only song titled Sweet Nothing. 68.44.51.49 (talk) 21:11, 13 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Comment – Yeah, but their album and song don't even have articles right now. Feel free to make them, though! 68.44.51.49 (talk) 01:28, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
I realise that, and there is a view that if something doesn't have an article en.wp should pretend it doesn't exist. I personally don't share that view, others do. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:07, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose per IIO, "song" should be redirected to the disambiguation page Sweet Nothings (disambiguation) -- 76.65.128.252 (talk) 06:43, 17 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • 'Oppose.' Little point moving something that has neither references or claims of notability. IMO, for anybody looking for a specific song by a specific artist having the artists' name as part of the title save much searching.--Richhoncho (talk) 20:14, 19 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Again, I don't see any songs named Sweet Nothing on the disambiguation page except this one. In this case, it's common sense. 68.44.51.49 (talk) 01:18, 23 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • And my point was with neither references nor notability I can't see this song notable enough to have an article, let alone a discussion regarding what the article title should be. As an aside, I also opined that it could be better to disambiguate by the artist name in any event, but I don't think there is much point going through that again, now. --Richhoncho (talk) 11:58, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sweet Nothing (song)Sweet Nothing – The song dwarfs the film in popularity and relevance by miles. Unreal7 (talk) 13:48, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose - too many other "Sweet Nothing" targets on Sweet Nothings dab. There wasn't really a clear consensus for removing the name of artist (Calvin Harris song) in the previous RM, I'm not sure if removing (song) is worse or better, probably even worse. This is highly WP:RECENT and only makes life difficult for Calvin Harris fans to hide the song further, let alone anyone else. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:20, 25 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose it should revert to Sweet Nothing (Calvin Harris song) per other songs on the disambiguation page. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 06:11, 25 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. As iio says, it should be moved back to Calvin Harris. Just a simple count of above RM, 3 opposes, 2 supports and two suggestions of merge and redirect (which should have been counted as a "not move" is enough to prove there is no consensus for further moving. BTW Unreal, why do you want to hide the song from Calvin Harris fans so much? --Richhoncho (talk) 15:35, 25 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Eh? That's got nothing to do with this. There is only one other article called Sweet Nothing - a stub film which lacks info. Hence why I suggsted this. Unreal7 (talk) 13:47, 27 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose - Rushton2010 (talk) 23:07, 26 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose – and a wag of the finger to Cúchullain for inventing a consensus, above, where none existed. Dicklyon (talk) 02:39, 27 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Move review edit

I've taken the first step see User talk:Cuchullain#Move review of Sweet Nothing (song). Andrewa (talk) 00:54, 3 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Reaction was not too supportive of the move review, so I've agreed to raise a new RM instead. Andrewa (talk) 13:24, 10 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sweet Nothing (song)Sweet Nothing (Calvin Harris song) – The discussion of the second RM above strongly suggests to me that the first would not succeed if proposed today, to the point that I think this should be tested. The possibility of a move review was raised with the closer of the first RM, but they have requested for what seem to me to be valid reasons that we go to a fresh RM instead, see above.

Sweet Nothing (Calvin Harris song)Sweet Nothing (song) – At a recent RFC, it was determined that songs and albums should use the shorter title (disambiguated with "song" instead of "artist song") in cases such as this where there is no other song with that name with a Wikipedia article.

The result of the move request was: Moved. There seems little reason to hold this one up, looks Uncontroversial. The Taylor Swift song didn't exist get at the time of the previous RM so circumstances have changed.  — Amakuru (talk) 14:19, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply


Sweet NothingSweet Nothing (Calvin Harris song) – There have been three more songs titled "Sweet Nothing" (the Taylor Swift song and the Gabrielle Aplin song), so the Calvin Harris song is no longer WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Ippantekina (talk) 07:34, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
