The result of the move request was: Move. Cúchullain t/c 18:20, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Look Now (album) → Look Now – there is only a Look Now article, and only one notable "Look Now". The only other item in the dab page is an obscure non-single Bill Callahan song which is a bonus track in a Japanese version of a 1999 album. 151.54.208.111 (talk) 15:25, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). Jimthing (talk) 15:51, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
OpposeSupport – Neither one is higher in notoriety, hence disambiguation is apt in this circumstance. Jimthing (talk) 15:51, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Jimthing, not just one is "higher in notoriety", the Smog song is not notable at all. Saying an album by a major artist which charted across the globe (Look_Now_(album)#Charts) has the same "notoriety" of a random bonus track in the Japanese version of an obscure album which never charted anywhere is pure nonsense or explicit trolling. Many thanks for slowing the procedure in an obvuos WP:TWODABS situation. (cmt from nominator, sorry for the IP change) --151.54.229.153 (talk) 17:38, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Support. Straightforward WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by both usage and significance. The album gets 97% of pageviews, and while notability is not inherited, Elvis Costello is much more historically significant than Smog. This should be a WP:TWODABS situation, eliminating the dab page. At a minimum, the album should be at the base name over the incredibly minor song redirect. Dohn joe (talk) 16:25, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Obvious support per nom, the only other use of this title is a redirect for an obscure song for which a hatnote would be more than sufficient. No sound basis for either a disambiguated title or a dab page. PC78 (talk) 16:43, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- I even wonder if the Smog bonus track deserves a hatnote. If every non-notable and non-single song by a barely notable artist would deserve a hatnote or a dab page WP would be a jungle. (cmt from nominator, sorry for the IP change) 151.54.229.153 (talk) 17:38, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Support. This is easily the primary topic. Nohomersryan (talk) 18:57, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Fair enough support comments. But a hatnote is still suitable. (Why IP only, instead of login? IP users are often wrongly editing items, hence my initial questioning.) Jimthing (talk) 20:29, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- You are allowed to strikethrough your initial !vote, Jimthing. Don't judge users, judge what they say, and not by who they are. --В²C ☎ 01:27, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
Done With all due respect, with the amount of IP vandalism, users refusing to create history-tracking login names like everyone else manages to do, then following it up with name calling ("explicit trolling") – if they wanted sympathy for their cause, that's an unlikely way to get it. Jimthing (talk) 11:55, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- Actually it is you Jimthing who were absolutely disruptive, opposing an open-and-shut requested move with a false and silly argument just because the request came by an IP (as if page movers could not verify the merit of the request by themseves). And given your anti-IPs bizarre theories probably YOUR history deserves an accurate scrutiny to verify if you disrupted more pages on such basis. -151.53.42.169 (talk) 00:06, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
- Really great attitude you have there, I rest my case. Have a nice life. Jimthing (talk) 02:41, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

- Support per as obvious a PRIMARYTOPIC case as there can be. --В²C ☎ 01:27, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
- Support. Clear WP:PTOPIC. Hatnote to the song, and delete the DAB page per WP:2DABS. NB Look Now (Smog song) exists as {{R from song}}. Narky Blert (talk) 16:34, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
