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: Move. Considering that the shorter disambiguation already redirects here, and there are no other existing articles on songs of this name, this title is best supported by Wikipedia's style guidelines. The base title Best Song Ever will remain where it is. Cúchullain t/c 21:25, 29 July 2013 (UTC)Reply



Best Song Ever (One Direction song)Best Song Ever (song) – Only song called "Best Song Ever". Billboard Man (talk) 14:33, 21 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

I was just coming here to do the same thing. There is no need to differentiate when there is only one. --Shadow (talk) 04:02, 22 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Best Song Ever already redirects there. This is a different story. --Shadow (talk) 06:48, 22 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Exactly, this "Best Song Ever (song)" should point to List of songs considered the best --76.65.128.222 (talk) 01:14, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
I think you may have misunderstood. "Best Song Ever" already redirects to that page. "Best Song Ever (song)" does not and doesn't need to because there is actually a song called that. --Shadow (talk) 21:08, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Comment - I couldn't care less either way, but One Direction is a Britain-Irish band and this song will certainly be far more searched and chart much higher than a little-known country song. Morhange (talk) 03:18, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment. Wikipedia is full of failed logic. The Rihanna album is located at Talk That Talk, when there's another album and 2 songs of the same name... that have articles. The One Direction song is the only "Best Song Ever" that has an article. But, please, let's continue to do a disservice to the project.  — Statυs (talk, contribs) 18:28, 24 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
The reason there is no consistency is because of the number of fans of a particular act and how vocal they are, none of whom have the slightest intention of thinking "what is best for Wikipedia." In this instance the article is about a One Direction song called Best Song Ever. --Richhoncho (talk) 08:37, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Page move

I know I opposed the move, but since it was moved, I think it should have been moved to Best Song Ever instead. That is all. I'm not going to request a move, just wanted to give my opinion :-) –anemoneprojectors16:14, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

When it says the name Johnny, it should be Jonny. The source is from the music video, and when it says this character that is played by Louis Tomlinson, it is spelled Jonny, not Johnny. Purikuragurl (talk) 16:13, 25 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Well spotted!   Fixed, thanks. Adrian J. Hunter(talkcontribs) 02:51, 28 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

– It seems as if no other song called "Best Song Ever" even has an article, and "Give Me Your Hand (Best Song Ever)" isn't even the same name, so I think at this point, "(song)" needs to be dropped from the article name. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:D048:F3B0:22C3:4EEB (talk) 13:51, 8 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Why does this article not say they ripped off The Who's Baba O'riley?

Pete Townshend writing credit

edit

Was Pete Townshend ever given official writing credit? I know there was a thing about it being stolen or not, but having his name as the writer is confusing since I thought it meant it was resolved with him getting credit. He shouldn't be listed if it was not legally resolved that way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.3.47.49 (talk) 03:11, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
