Merge
[edit]Another, larger, article has been written about the same subject at The Entertainer (play). Because the play doesn't deserve ownership of the phrase "The Entertainer" (prior art exists with the same name), I suggest this article be merged into that one and this title be redirected to The Entertainer (disambiguation).

- It would be better, I think, to keep film and play articles separate. The former might be retitled perhaps. The play article is in need of attention, which I am in the process of giving it. Tim riley (talk) 10:28, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- On reflection, having given the play article a thorough going-over I think perhaps the film section of the other article could usefully be tacked on to the play article. Tim riley (talk) 11:35, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Good work! I feel certain the film can be comfortably fitted onto the end of the (play) article. This page can simply be made into a REDIRECT, going to The Entertainer (disambiguation). Binksternet (talk) 12:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for that! I've transplanted the film details to the The Entertainer (play) article, which now leaves not one but two redundant articles, The Entertainer (film) and The Entertainer. Can one simply blitz those two? My Wiki-know-how isn't up to it. Please ponder. Tim riley (talk) 16:44, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

- I completed the merge, but someone should click on the "what links here" link at the redirect page from The Entertainer and make sure that the links go to the correct article (either play or film). -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Reordering of songs
[edit]I just did a reordering of the songs section to put them in chronological order. Not only do I think it makes more sense from a historical and thematic perspective to put the Scott Joplin rag before the Billy Joel song, but also if you do a search for "the entertainer" "scott joplin" vs "the entertainer" "billy joel," the former has more than three times the results of the latter — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waidawut (talk • contribs) 19:55, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
