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: not moved. wbm1058 (talk) 05:12, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Commontime (album) → Commontime – Per WP:SMALLDETAILS, enough to disambiguate from Common time. Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:35, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:22, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Galobtter: Better discuss. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:22, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I'll add some more explanation - does make sense to redirect "Common time" to time signature where it is discussed, but not "Commontime" as no one will be searching for 4/4 (common) time without the space. They'll be likely looking for the album. Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:58, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, fails WP:SMALLDETAILS test - not consistent or distinctive; Time signature is also sometimes used without gap, album is sometimes used with gap. Plus in books CommonTime is a calendaring and scheduling app for Lotus Notes. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:45, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've searched, and as far as I can see the album is always called "commontime" without the space and the signature is always called "common time" (I've never heard it otherwise). Not only that, people should be directed to wherever they want to go. Most likely they are looking for the album when looking without a space, and there's a hatnote towards time signature (The general approach is that whatever readers might type in the search box, they are guided as swiftly as possible to the topic they might reasonably be expected to be looking for, by such disambiguation techniques as hatnotes and/or disambiguation pages.When such navigation aids are in place). Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:52, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But it's more that more sources refer to www.commontime.com and the CommonTime apps. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:33, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem to have an article though. So mostly people would want the album. And it is again consistently capitalized differently from the album, so differentiated. Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:42, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't have to have an article, the universe exists independently of Wikipedia, so do readers. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:01, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – small details does not say this is an improvement. Disambiguation is good. Dicklyon (talk) 02:19, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – unless they made a "typo", at least one editor did treat it as a compound word: you should always check "what links here" before making such proposals. In Cantique de Jean Racine: "The music is in D-flat major, in commontime, marked Andante. – wbm1058 (talk) 05:12, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GA?

@Hunter Kahn: Thanks for your work on this article (and nice profile page, by the way! ;p) -- I hope you have Good article nomination plans. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:13, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Another Believer! Yes, I plan to bring it to GAN, and I have just a few finishing touches left before doing so. In fact, I previously worked Open Here to GA status, and have plans to eventually continue working my way backwards through Field Music's discography in this way. Suffice it to say, I'm a big fan of the band. :D — Hunter Ka hn 17:16, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Prince

... that the Field Music album Commontime received media attention after Prince (pictured) tweeted about one of its songs?
- ALT1:... that Prince (pictured) tweeted about a song from the Field Music album Commontime, but the band wasn't initially sure whether he liked it or not?

Reviewed: Swan Lake fire
Comment: I prefer the first hook, personally...
Comment: The same image of Prince has been proposed with the Aug 12 hook for Steve McClellan. For either, my opinion is that using an image of Prince is a reach. David notMD (talk) 19:23, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm fine with dropping the pic if that is the preference of whoever ends up reviewing this... — Hunter Ka hn 19:42, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Hunter Kahn (talk). Self-nominated at 03:43, 21 August 2019 (UTC).[reply]

The article was expanded enough and in time. A QPQ has been completed. The original hook is directly cited. There are no copyright violations. The only problem that I can see is that the Track listing section needs to be referenced. SL93 (talk) 02:42, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks SL93. I added a citation to the label's page for teh track listing section... — Hunter Kahn 02:51, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm approving the original hook. I'm not sure about anything related to the image, but I'm sure that the promoter can make a decision. SL93 (talk) 15:52, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
