Need to disambiguate from other article(s) about "Rainbow Sign"

[edit]

There is a Jazz album by Ron Miles called "Rainbow Sign" that currently has an article called simply "Rainbow Sign", created 4 November 2020 (only about 3 weeks ago). A couple of weeks ago at that article's talk page I invited suggestions for disambiguation, which produced this thread:

This page will likely at some point need to be disambiguated from a Berkeley black cultural center active between 1971 and 1977 - see article HERE. This cultural center may draw increasing attention because of its influence on vice-president elect Kamala Harris during her childhood (EXAMPLE ARTICLE) I suspect both topics meet notability criteria (although the cultural center is historical rather than present). I haven't checked to see which is more notable and whether one makes sense as a more "primary" use of the name than the other. Nor is it yet clear precisely what names should be used for each topic, if articles were to exist on both topics. Any suggestions? --Presearch (talk) 00:15, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Presearch, Simple: add {{For|the Berkeley-based cultural center|The Rainbow Sign}}<nowiki> here and <nowiki>{{For|the jazz album|Rainbow Sign}} there. Good eye. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 02:51, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure this is an entirely adequate solution because the cultural center also seems to be frequently called "Rainbow Sign" rather than "The Rainbow Sign". I have not yet tried to determine whether the album or the cultural center is more frequently cited by the term "Rainbow Sign". But I am implementing this suggestion as at least a temporary solution. --Presearch (talk) 04:05, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
