What is the chorus of this song? Does anyone know the actual lyrics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.111.188.52 (talk) 23:28, 22 October 2007‎ (UTC)[reply]

Swang (song) → Swang – Per WP:TWODABS, there is no need for a dab page. "Swang (dance drama)" redirects to "Saang", and that info can be explained via a hatnote rather than a dab page. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:1D7B:5DE:3B37:17F8 (talk) 02:15, 8 August 2017 (UTC) --Relisting.

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:50, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@2601:8C:4001:DCB9:1D7B:5DE:3B37:17F8: But the pop music song is likely to be ephemeral, and the Indian drama form is likely to be long-lasting. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:50, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I disagree, I would say the pop song is more popular than the Indian drama form, especially since this is the English Wikipedia. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:1D7B:5DE:3B37:17F8 (talk) 05:01, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose would encourage the IP to register for an account before using the technical request again as a simple check in Google Books shows that this is a completely inappropriate technical request. We don't just overwrite reference to a major Indian dance/drama form by an uncontroversial technical request to place a marginally successful song on top of it.

Support. Even including the two uses on the dab page, this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in terms of being the most sought. The other uses have more historical importance, but there's no indication they are commonly called "Swang".--Cúchullain ^t/c 19:46, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Correction, this is half of the two WP:PRIMARYTOPIC criteria in terms of being the most sought. If editors are against the long term notability criteria then please make an RFC to change WP:PRIMARYTOPIC so that popular culture articles always take precedent. Otherwise following WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as it stands, with two tests to pass, then this move would be against WP:TITLE policy on several levels.

Secondly स्वांग is a common variant of सांग, or vice-versa, so it's simply not true that "there's no indication they are commonly called "Swang"? If it were true then what are all these recent English-language books on Indian dance which call it "Swang"? If anything Swang is more common than Saang in English books, but even if it wasn't Swang in WP:RS would still usually refer to Swang not to a #26-charting 2017 hip hop song.

Oppose: There is no indication that the pop music song released a few months ago has lasting historical significance, as the Indian folk drama form obviously does. In fact the song article fails WP:GNG, as the article shows no evidence of detailed coverage in reliable sources, and the popularity of the song already seems to be waning. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:21, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
