Perfect Way (Scritti Politti song) → Perfect Way – The current status of the new target is a disambiguation page with only this article and another song titled "Perfect Way" that doesn't have an article. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 01:57, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- Support, and use a hatnote to Harmacy for the other song. --BDD (talk) 17:27, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: Really, this song shouldn't have an article. The article says almost nothing. If there's anything here worth saving, it should be merged into the article about the album. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:35, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- No objections from me. --BDD (talk) 19:14, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose - and keep Scritti Politti song as standalone stub. I tend to agree with BarrelProof that the article says almost nothing but that's just a function of en.wikipedia's giant demographic bias to music since 2010. 1985 might as well be the big band era from our editing standpoint, wheras 30 years ago this was a notable single. As for the actual RM, in books The Perfect Way refers to the 1881 animal rights and recipe book, which has now been added to the dab page. As has the equally notable Miles Davis cover.

- Incidentally - for half our readers (on mobiles) infobox images are as important as (dabs) so I've uploaded the single cover. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:16, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose – the disambig page is doing a good thing there, and moving to a more ambiguous title is not. Dicklyon (talk) 04:35, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support and hatnote, per BDD. This is textbook case of WP:2DABS. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 09:42, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Problem is it isn't Twodabs, but Sevendabs because we didn't/don't have a separate dab page for The Perfect Way (that was a redlink, I just redirected it to the Perfect Way dab - arguably the primary topic for "The Perfect Way" would be the Maitland and Kingsford book that influenced Ghandi, but that is only a mention in the author's article, so far.

- Oppose. No evidence that this the primary topic amongst the 7 topics listed in the dab page Perfect Way. It would help if more editors familiarised themsleves with WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, which says "A topic is primary for a term, with respect to usage, if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term". Note the use of the word "topic", not "article"; the policy is not WP:PRIMARYARTICLE. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:45, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose per BHG. Plus keeping (Scritti Politti song) in the title will not harm anyone. --Richhoncho (talk) 23:51, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
