Not the only song

[edit]

Isn't Harry Belafonte the main reference for this song title in books? In ictu oculi (talk) 08:52, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 5 March 2015

[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: NO CONSENSUS. For what it's worth, the disambig page appears to have blossomed since the original nomination. Hadal (talk) 18:19, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]



– This song's article was actually initially created at what is now the disambiguation page (which didn't exist until the emergence of the song). With the exception of the Harry Belafonte live album, I can't find anything notable about anything else on the disambiguation page. George's song has actually already been viewed more times this month than last,[1][2] so it's not as if this is an unpopular page. Unreal7 (talk) 16:07, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Harry Belafonte not notable? In ictu oculi (talk) 06:00, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
He is, but his album isn't. Unreal7 (talk) 11:14, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone is welcome to start Listen to the Man (The Troggs song) here's the artwork: https://mocholand2.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/c-troggs.jpg In ictu oculi (talk) 16:11, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No one's going to, given that it didn't chart and isn't notable. Unreal7 (talk) 09:57, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Responding to the above comment it actually charted at 41 in December and agree per nom. 2601:C:3004:2BA6:E44C:B9F5:B872:5828 (talk) 02:24, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Insufficient evidence that this most recent song of at least four by that name (there's a quite famous and historically significant Harry Belafonte song Kwela (Listen To The Man) which doesn't even get a direct mention on the DAB yet) is the primary meaning, and it seems unlikely in terms of long term significance. At best too soon to tell. Andrewa (talk) 19:01, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Moved to Listen to the Man. Despite the no consensus move above, we do have a consensus for PTOPIC here, and actually the disambiguation page can go, it has no other actual articles of that title, only entries for non-notable songs that point at artists.  — Amakuru (talk) 13:44, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]



Listen to the Man (George Ezra song)Listen to the Man (song) – Per the the RfC on song article titles, the consensus is to use "(song)" as the disambiguator unless there are other articles on songs of the same title. See also recent RMs such as this and this. In this case, there are no other articles on songs titled "Listen to the Man". In fact, this is the only article of any kind called Listen to the Man, so ideally it should go to the base name, but at any rate the disambiguator should be in line with the prevailing consensus.
