Tennessee Whiskey (song) → Tennessee Whiskey – WP:DIFFCAPS is sufficient for disambiguation. Tennessee whiskey is not a proper noun. A reader searching for "Tennessee Whiskey" with a capital W is likely searching for the song. sst✈^(conjugate) 04:32, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose this is exactly the sort of case WP:DIFFCAPS should prevent. the Jack Daniel's cookbook capitalizes the W, so does this book, and this book..... In ictu oculi (talk) 07:17, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose. This minor difference of capitalization of the word "whiskey" is not sufficient for disambiguation. Yes, "Tennessee Whiskey" is not a proper noun, but it is capitalized on many products and in various literature. In fact, per the Google ngram viewer, it has been more commonly used in books than "Tennessee whiskey" with the lowercase since about 1970 – and the song wasn't released until 1981 or 1983, so the book mentions in the 1970s weren't talking about the song. —BarrelProof (talk) 07:22, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose. I appreciate what nominator says about URLs, but I am a human like all WP readers, and humans need road signs. --Richhoncho (talk) 07:26, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose per all of the above. Caps are insufficient differentiation, and even if the caps alone were enough to indicate that the topic is not a drink (which they don't), they don't indicate what else it is. The current title is fine; leave it be. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:07, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose - per above - ^theWOLFchild 15:13, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose – insufficient disambiguation. oknazevad (talk) 19:19, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Etta James’ contributions (indirectly…)

This song’s influence is obvious. The other article on Etta James’ I’d rather Be Blind acknowledges this. Plenty of sources out there that have cited it as everything from influence to stealing.

This article’s edit history kind of sums up how the way Black Americans contributions to music have been treated. 99.85.46.70 (talk) 04:38, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
