@Nicholas0 and Lennart97: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:59, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Nicholas0: The other songs don't have separate articles, they're all redirects. Per WP:SONGDAB, further disambiguation is not necessary in this case. Waiting for the Night (song) should have a hatnote pointing to the disambiguation page, which I've now added. Lennart97 (talk) 21:02, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Once (read: if) the other songs listed have comprehensive, separate articles, then we can move the song to the longer disambiguation. Until that happens, this is the only song by that name, and thus the only one that the specific disambiguation refers to. Sean Stephens (talk) 10:50, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per what I said above. Lennart97 (talk) 18:50, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There appears to only be one notable subject of this name, song or otherwise. Instead, this should be moved to Waiting for the Night without any disambiguation.--Yaksar (let's chat) 06:10, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Waiting for the Night, and move Waiting for the Night → Waiting for the Night (disambiguation), per User:Yaksar. See WP:SONGDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 18:28, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging User:Lennart97 & User:Sean Stephens, who made similar points as I did but only concerning the name among songs, to see if they would also be in favor of the proposed change to remove the unnecessary disambiguation.--Yaksar (let's chat) 16:51, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Yaksar's proposal. The only article with a similar title is Waitin' for the Night, but per WP:SMALLDETAILS, that should not be an issue with hatnotes in place. Lennart97 (talk) 17:19, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Yaksar's proposal. Disambiguation currently unnecessary when only one article exists. Sean Stephens (talk) 00:38, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
