requested move/dated

– The Japanese language songs are not the topic expected from Google Books. Surprise (disambiguation) (Jars of Clay, Stereophonics); Daisy (disambiguation) (Brotherhood of Man, Stone Temple Pilots); It's Gonna Rain composition by Steve Reich (also songs by Sonny And Cher, Violent Femmes, Bobby Womack,..)

Support per nom, disambiguation page landing points are best. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 05:04, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. —BarrelProof (talk) 21:34, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. In the case of "Surprise!" and "It's Gonna Rain!", there are no articles of that title, let alone that write the titles that exact way (eg, with the exclamation point). For Daisy (song), there are also appear to be no other articles of that title or coverage in any other article. This is unnecessary over-disambiguation.--Cúchullain ^t/c 16:53, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Cuchullain. We should never go out of our way to direct readers to a disambiguation page. --BDD (talk) 19:05, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. There are so many other topics of very similar names, that clarity of disambiguation is needed to ensure that readers are not misdirected. Reliance on a postfixed exclamation mark as a disambiguator is unwise, because sources cannot be relied upon to always reproduce a title by including a symbol which can also be appended in normal prose. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:23, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support per BHG. Disambiguation by punctuation is inherently a bad idea. --Richhoncho (talk) 18:26, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
