Talk:Downbound Train

Chuck Berry
Hmm...this was a chuck berry song first. -75.111.37.204 (talk) 02:53, 9 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Chuck Berry was the first to write a song with this title, but the lyrics of the two are very different. But, I think a disambiguation is needed, and separate entry to Chuck Berry's song needs to be created. For now, I have marked this title as inappropriate, and suggest that it be renamed to "Downbound Train (Bruce Springsteen)" -V madhu (talk) 10:25, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The Chuck Berry tune is "Down Bound Train", three words instead of two. More importantly, an article does not exist for the Chuck Berry song, nor does there seem to be any compelling reason (such as notability) to create one. So when is the need to disambig going to arise? Since there doesn't seeming to be anything pressing that would require a name change, for now I'm opposed. BTW, "for now" indicates that I could be persuaded otherwise. Allreet (talk) 15:58, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree that there does not exist an article for Chuck Berry's song, and have created a stub to rectify that. But, I disagree about the word-splitting and notability. It is no less notable than Bruce Springsteen's track, and should be included. Especially because (according a source at SongFacts, there may be historical references to the world of cowboys, and an influence of Chuck Berry's religious upbringing. Does this bring you closer to being persuaded about creating a disambiguation page. I saw similar disambiguation created for many other tracks with the same name, but that are different songs. So, I am simply trying to follow existing norms on Wikipedia. I would suggest a disambiguation with the different word splitting being suggested for Chuck Berry's song. If you need further persuasion, listen to the track. It has got to be one of his best songs! V madhu (talk) 13:04, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
