Passed (band)Passed – "Passed" currently redirects to Pass - has done so since 2005 - though none of the entries on the dab page are "passed"; the band seems to be the primary topic for the word, though a hatnote linking to the Pass dab page might be a useful addition. – PamD 21:24, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, it does, but as an encyclopedia term "passed" is a past participle of a verb and not a form which readers are likely to expect to find. There is no entry on the dab page with "passed" in its title. If "Passed" continues to be a redirect to the dab page, we would need either a "Redirect" hatnote, not usual on a dab page, or a broadening of the scope of the dab page to explicitly include "passed", and its addition to taht page ... not clear where, either in the first list, or a new "Music" section with one entry, or a new "Other uses" section with one entry. None of these seem satisfactory, and it seems to me that the reader would be best served by allowing the group to be the primary topic of "passed", but adding a hatnote to its article to help readers who are actually looking for some sense of "pass".
