Requested move 16 March 2020

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

It was proposed in this section that multiple pages be renamed and moved.

result:
Moved per consensus garnered below. Kudos to editors for your input, and Happy Publishing! (nac by page mover) P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 19:44, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is template {{subst:Requested move/end}}

– Move over the current 2-entry disambiguation page. The song written by Tim Buckley is the clear primary topic by pageviews and long-term significance. The only other article—Song to the Siren (The Chemical Brothers song)—is about a song that uses samples of a version of Buckley's song, and is mentioned in the Buckley article's lead section. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:16, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: gentle reminder that if this request is granted, Song to the Siren (disambiguation) must also be deleted. P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 22:29, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support, clear primary topic per nom. —Xezbeth (talk) 12:49, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support – agree with nominator. This is an extremely clear primary topic. I was actually a little surprised to see the article title "Song to the Siren (Tim Buckley song)" in the search box's dropdown suggestions, and it was a funny coincidence to immediately see the move discussion template at the top of the page. —BLZ · talk 23:12, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Guardian Article

The Grauniad published a piece on the song in November 2011: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/nov/17/song-to-the-siren-classic. Personally I far prefer the Half Man Half Biscuit version :-) Mr Larrington (talk) 00:01, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
