On My Way (Charlie Brown song)On My Way (song) – None of the songs called "On My Way" have articles. Billboard Man (talk) 02:02, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, WP:PDAB is guidance for FURTHER disambiguation, using the words, In such an instance, a more precise qualifier should be used. As the title space is where it is and is not misleading it might as well stay where it is. --Richhoncho (talk) 12:31, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: move. Indeed, this is the only song of this name with an article. -- tariqabjotu 17:07, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]


On My Way (Charlie Brown song)On My Way (song) – Normally I do not restart move requests, but after what happened with Jack (song) and Best Song Ever (song), I'm redoing this move request. It is the only song called" On My Way" with an article. Billboard Man (talk) 02:11, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reaction to move result of requested move 2

[edit]

That was unexpected. I can only refer to my prior remark: "Not having a stand-alone article is not evidence of non-notability." There are four other songs with this title that are identified at On My Way, so On My Way (song) seems highly ambiguous. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:42, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this was nuts. I've added to the disambig page the other three songs by the same name mentioned in WP articles; the fact that they don't have standalone articles does not make the title less ambiguous, except in the narrow minds of followers of User:Born2cycle who think that ambiguity has no meaning other than WP article name conflict. Dicklyon (talk) 21:49, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
After a look at the article, I also see that it has no sources that establish notability. No sources discuss the song. All the sources are just chart lists that happen to include this song in the list (or are dead links or the song's video on Youtube or the artist's general web site which contains no obvious mention of the song). I have therefore tagged the article with a notability template. See also WP:Notability (music) and WP:NSONG. I've also started discussing the situation on the closer's Talk page. —BarrelProof (talk) 22:50, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. I have five followers out of the seven participating in this discussion alone! So per this sample about 70% of the community are "followers of User:Born2cycle who think recognize that ambiguity [on WP] has no meaning other than WP article name conflict", as stated in the first sentence of WP:D. --B2C 06:27, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As stated in the first sentence of WP:D? Excuse me, perhaps that comment was just bait, but I looked there, and I don't see that stated in the first sentence. The lead section there refers to terms and topics, not article titles ("... when a single term is ambiguous—when it refers to more than one topic covered by Wikipedia articles..."). Article title uniqueness is only one of three criteria listed in the lead of WP:D as being important, and the other two are relevant here. —BarrelProof (talk) 15:16, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • BarrelProof, you're correct that not having a standalone article is not evidence of non-notability, but neither can we presume notability where it hasn't been demonstrated. If you object to these sorts of moves, your time may be better spent developing articles on list items, demonstrating the notability thereof, than simply arguing for your interpretation of WP:D. All hail B2C! --BDD (talk) 16:28, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Having an article is also not evidence of notability. As noted above, there are no sources in the article that establish notability for this song. In this discussion, the only obvious difference between this song and the others of the same name is that this one has an article and the others don't. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:29, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's reasonable to presume notability of an article if it's never been up for deletion. If you have doubts as to an article's notability, you can be the one to suggest it. --BDD (talk) 19:54, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I already tagged the article with a notability template and commented here and elsewhere about the notability issue. I thought it would be rude to immediately propose it for deletion without waiting a while to give someone a chance to resolve the tag. I disagree that the existence of an article should result in a presumption of notability. —BarrelProof (talk) 20:25, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
After waiting approximately a week after raising questions about the notability issue here and adding a notability notification template within the article, no one has edited the article at all to address the problem (or for any other reason), so I nominated the article for deletion. Please see this article's entry in the AfD discussion area. —BarrelProof (talk) 00:29, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment only. I am not surprised by the result(the closer has moved in accordance with the comments/!votes), the fact that it was the wrong result is beyond debate. The supporters of the move rely on two assumptions that cannot be sustained, that WP:RECENT does not apply and that anybody looking for a song called "On My Way" will only be interested in the Charlie Brown single. Neither assumption allows for anybody searching for a song that was NOT recorded by the aforesaid CB and this is a song recorded by CB, so Charlie Brown song is factual and not in anyway misleading. But the present title... I daresay there are other items in the world that use the very common phrase "On My Way" which was never considered above. Those complaining after the event should have arrived on time and perhaps we can stop these expletive deleted useless moves once and forever. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 22:42, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Added (the closer has moved in accordance with the comments/!votes) above to show that no attack was intended on the closer. Apologies to anybody who thought this was an adverse comment on the actual closing of the RM. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:25, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move review

[edit]

I have asked for a review of this RM close, here: Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2013 August#On My Way (song). If you'd like to comment, comments on the close would be more useful than rehashing the original argument (perhaps I did a bit of that already). Dicklyon (talk) 02:00, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, here we are. The AfD nomination was closed as "keep". The move review was closed as "Close endorsed". —BarrelProof (talk) 21:20, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Read the close again, read, changes to PDAB and, Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs/Article alerts and if you think there is reason for re-nomination, then do so. Furthermore, this [talkpage] might be interesting. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 00:55, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing, zilch, zero, nada, about the song

[edit]

Using the words of one commenter in a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/On My Way (song) more than three months ago, the article still contains "nothing, zilch, zero, nada, about the song". Should we continue to have "A song article with nothing about the song?" The article contains nothing but a collection of chart lists (and a description of what you see when watching a video). —BarrelProof (talk) 06:03, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:BarrelProof I was prompted by your comment to see what could be sourced on On My Way (Louis Armstrong song). In ictu oculi (talk) 18:01, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
On My Way (Lea Michele song) another new song article ... In ictu oculi (talk) 02:33, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comments. Yes, redirect On My Way (song) per Steel, and redirect On My Way (Charlie Brown song) to an album/Charlie Brown, it is a reasonable search term. --Richhoncho (talk) 08:42, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
