Requested move 20 October 2018

[edit]
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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Withdrawn. During the discussion, Love Wins was turned into a disambiguation page, which negated my argument entirely. Therefore I see no reason to keep this open. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 17:35, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Love Wins (song)Love Wins – The phrase "Love Wins" currently redirects to Obergefell v. Hodges, which does not mention the phrase "Love wins" at any point, except in reference to a book that is cited as a source. Even then, "Love Wins" is only a WP:PTM for that book. This means that the song is the only exact use of that title. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 00:54, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As per @Srnec: the current redirect is actually mentioned as a footnote in the Obergefell v. Hodges case article, but that redirect should really go to Debbie Cenziper as author. That with two more songs gives us 5 subjects on the redirect, so temporarily converted to dab. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:00, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@In ictu oculi: Are you crazy? How high the song is on the charts is immaterial. The song is on five separate charts, it was just released so it's bound to go higher, and the article has plenty of reliable third-party sources. A merge would be counterproductive. Give the article a WP:CHANCE. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 23:07, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm not crazy, I'm looking here at an article primarily about the sales figures of a brief entertainment product - not a word on the song itself, and the sales figures, while not a total chart bomb indicate that this song had it's chance for 5 weeks and is heading back to nowhere.

"Not a word on the song itself"? Then why is there a full paragraph on the writing of the song, and another full paragraph on reviews of it? Again, the song's only been out for five weeks. There is simply way too much content to merge at the moment. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 23:31, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Irrevelant ; "The book doesn't have a page though" is not a valid argument in title discussions. The book clearly passes WP:NBOOK, it's simply that we don't have many book editors and there is no need to WP:FORK because, as just said, "The book doesn't have a page though" is not a valid argument in title discussions. .
