Disambiguation[edit]

I don't think the punk rock band Good Riddance should get squatters rights to the name of this page. Since there are multiple uses for the phrase Good Riddance, this page should direct users to a disambiguation page where said users can decide which usage of the phrase they are seeking.

Currently there are 3 uses:

Does anyone disagree with this?

The hat note is good enough. Good Riddance are not squatting. Read about naming conventions. Darrenhusted (talk) 12:46, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived 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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved as per WP:SNOW. Yeah, I participated, and yeah, this didn't last the full week, but at least now the move request is done. Good riddance. (non-admin closure) Red Slash 05:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good Riddance → Good Riddance (band) – Based on Google and Google Books results, the band isn't a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) would seem to have a better claim, or even the phrase itself. And the band doesn't seem to have long-term significance beyond that of other topics. Consider that the song had over 10,000 views last month to the band's 3279. Some of the latter were surely looking for another topic. Keeping the band as primary is not supported by any accepted PRIMARYTOPIC criterion. BDD (talk) 04:59, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support displacing band suggest replacing it with a disambiguation page instead. -- 70.24.250.192 (talk) 07:22, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support good riddance (now a dab) is a common phrase, and when capitalized no primary topic. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:06, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
