Requested move 18 November 2017

Dominos (Big Pink song) → Dominos (The Big Pink song) – The name of the band is "The Big Pink". Ss 112 04:07, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:34, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Like for disambiguator "(Beatles song)", "The" is not a great idea here. Dicklyon (talk) 05:29, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ss112 and Dicklyon: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:35, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't want to go through this process because I don't even care that much about this article. So never mind, I've moved it back to Dominos (song) because no other article exists with the song name "Dominos", per WP:NCMDAB. Also, we have a disambiguation page for any confusion. I still disagree that "The" should not be included in namespaces. The Beatles' articles are a unique example because they've been through years of back-and-forths and new consensuses. Basically every other acts' articles on Wikipedia use "The". The Big Pink's other articles disambiguate using "The Big Pink", so if this had been kept, it would be inconsistent.

@Ss112: If you "don't want to go through this process", you should not be moving articles. WP:RM is the process for handling article renames any time the move could be controversial. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ< 19:08, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@SMcCandlish: I meant go through the process of debating whether "The" should be in the namespace. The Rolling Stones' articles do, The Chainsmokers' articles do, and so on. The Beatles are about the only example I can think of where users have decided "the" isn't needed. I should have just reverted the move done earlier this year, which I already did. I didn't think it would be controversial to undo it, because the contested request was to move it to an entirely different namespace. You can continue to ping me here if you really feel it's necessary, but I think that's about all I have to say. Ss 112 04:25, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Dominos (song) per WP:CONCISE and WP:DAB (i.e., do not over-disambiguate). If this needs to be further disambiguated later, use Dominos (Big Pink song) per DickLyon (i.e., per WP:THE, WP:CONCISE again, and per normal RM practice of not including "The" in band-name disambiguations when not necessary). [An example of when it would be necessary is when the result without it would itself be intolerably ambiguous, e.g. with the band The The, since a disambiguation that introduced a new ambiguity would be a failure.] — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ< 19:08, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
