Great Speckled Bird (band) → Great Speckled Bird – Seems sufficiently different from "The Great Speckled Bird" to remove the parentheses suffix and add a sufficient hatnote, linking to the eponymous album and the other dab page. --The Evil IP address (talk) 21:27, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Another completely counterproductive removal of a tremendously useful qualifier, justified by nothing beyond blind following of a rule. Noetica^Tea? 03:30, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I think the "the" doesn't differentiate it enough, and I also think that there's not a primary topic. It would be nice to be able to remove the qualifier, but in this case I think we're better off leaving things the way they are. — Mudwater^(Talk) 03:50, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
