Requested move 14 March 2016

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: no consensus. It was moved to make way for a redirect, which I personally believe was justified, considering James Bay is considerably more popular. The redirect now links to the disambig, which I believe is fine.(non-admin closure)QEDK (TC) 16:38, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply


Let It Go (Heo Young-saeng EP)Let It Go (EP) – The article was moved from "Let It Go (EP)" to "Let It Go (Heo Young-saeng EP)" by an editor days ago for an unknown reason. Later on, I found out that it was to give way for another album with the same title by another artist (James Bay). Afterwards, not only was this article renamed, but the old article "Let It Go (EP)" was redirected to the latter artist. Is it possible to undo all of these for many reasons? 1. Heo Young-saeng's album was released first (2011 vs. 2014); 2. "Let It Go (EP)" article for Heo was created first; 3. The old article "Let It Go (EP)" was already linked to many articles (including DYK page). Would anyone please help me solve the problem? There's just too much articles linked on the old page and I don't want to literally go over to each linked page to change the link. Also, it would be unfair to the old article. Thank you! 001Jrm (talk) 05:53, 14 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

What RfC at WT:TITLE? ... just looked.... Seriously, we are no longer determining titles by the real world but on whether articles are forked? In that case do we need to fork Let It Go (EP) into a stub just so people aren't sent to a Korean-language EP? This is insane. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:33, 25 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Bay released his debut extended play, The Dark of the Morning, on 18 July 2013. His second EP, Let It Go, was released on 12 May 2014.[10] The Let It Go EP debuted in the top 10 iTunes album chart[11] and the lead single, titled "Let It Go", peaked at number 10 in the UK charts.

But it isn't: the English-language Let It Go (James Bay EP) is far more likely to be looked for than a Korean-language EP by English language readers on English Wikipedia. The status quo here per WP:Naming conventions music allows both English-language song fans and Korean-language song fans to find both EPs, which is the purpose of the guideline. Why not follow it?
