Talk:Kingdom Come (German band)

Untitled
I fixed what seems to be a spelling error, and removed what seem to be nonsense characters from a quotation -- the source of the quotation was a broken link, so I removed that too. This article could use some cleanup from someone more familiar with this style of music than me. Accounting4Taste 17:48, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Requested move 14 May 2023

 * 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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus to move; editors in opposition argued that this band is the primary topic for this dab, while editors in support argued that they are insufficiently primary for an already disambiguated title.

As both arguments are equally aligned with policy this comes down to which argument was more convincing to the community; with twice as many editors supporting the move than opposing it there is a consensus to move this article.

Kingdom Come (band) → Kingdom Come (German band) – Kingdom Come (British band). In ictu oculi (talk) 21:45, 14 May 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. >>> Extorc . talk  10:15, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose as unnecessary per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:INCDAB. This band gets |Kingdom_Come_(band) 87% of pageviews. There's already a hatnote on this article pointing to the British band, so moving this article benefits literally no one. Station1 (talk) 00:02, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Nothing with after it can be a primary topic. Once  is there German is helpful. And benefits everyone. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:15, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Certainly a title with can be a primary topic. Please see WP:INCDAB, the final paragraph of which was the result of an RfC on exactly that point. Adding "German" does not benefit anyone because the minority seeking the British band will get to that article as easily through the hatnote on this article as they would through a dab page, while the majority are not inconvenienced by needing to go through an unnecessary dab page in order to get to the article they want.

 * Support. Incomplete disambiguation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:32, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose because if I were searching for the popular band Kingdom Come, but I didn't know what nationality they were, and my choices were German/British, then I would still have no idea where to start, but if my choices were Kingdom Come (band) or Kingdom Come (British band), then I would assume the one just called "band" must be the popular (primary) one because it doesn't need any further disambiguation than that, and the one more specifically disambiguated to a certain nationality must be the lesser known one since it needed more disambiguation to be explained, therefore common sense would tell me to start with the one simply named "band" as the popular (primary) topic. This move might be more detailed, but makes searching harder, not easier. Also, this idea that parentheticals somehow [always] remove primary topics is foolish nonsense [not true]. [I would also like to further express my vote per the examples of band listings at: WP:PDABLIST (which mainly seem to be decided by "page ratio" and WP:TWODABS guidance).] Huggums537 (talk) 21:43, 20 May 2023 (UTC) Updated on 22:15, 20 May 2023 (UTC) Corrected on 22:19, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Support: The title already requires someone to clarify what they are looking for with a parenthetical "(band)" disambiguator, so it may as well also include the "German" qualifier that is necessary to clearly identify which topic they are looking for. The 7:1 pageview ratio between the two candidate topics is much lower than what is usual for a WP:PDAB title, and in fact it appears to be the lowest ratio found among all band topics at WP:PDABLIST. Hatnotes are not very prominent, so some readers may not notice what the hatnote is saying, or may only notice it after reading a substantial amount of coverage of a different topic from what they are looking for. When someone encounters a disambiguation page, they learn that there is more than one topic that fits their description, which is good for them to know. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:42, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * What difference would it make if it were at the top of the band list or the bottom of the list as long as the ratio is many times greater? The point is that one page is clearly more popular than the other. Pretending the one on the bottom doesn't belong because it isn't at the top is really kinda funny when you think about it. Also, if the page is already partially disambiguated, then people have no need of the German qualifier to learn there is more than one topic that fits their description since it is already obvious. If I know nothing at all about either band, and all I have to go on is two nationalities to pick from, that isn't good to know because it doesn't help me choose, while keeping it the way it is does help me choose as explained earlier. Another reason to keep as is because it also seems there might be some debate about whether the ban should represented as German or not. It seems that the Kingdom Come (Kingdom Come album) represents them as being an American/German band, so I would not be surprised if the article in question had a history of debate on the matter, and a contentious thing like that should be left as is IMHO. Huggums537 (talk) 04:24, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * 7:1 is not "many". "Many" starts around 70:1, or is at least higher than that. Most cases in the list are above that number, and the value matters. I don't notice any contention over whether this band that the article says was formed in Germany and is based in Germany should be called a German band or not, but the Allmusic page about them (which is the first source cited in the article) calls them "German hard rockers". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 05:17, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Haha. Yeah, and the first source on the album page (which is also from allmusic) says they are a British psychedelic style band, so disambiguating to nationalities is not helpful at all in this case since the band could be partially disambiguated to several nationalities now. In other words, disambiguating to nationalities makes it more confusing to choose, not less confusing. If the band is famous for being somewhat "copycats" of Led Zeppelin British psychedelic style, but I don't know what nationality they are, then choosing between British/German would likely confuse the hell out of me, and I would most likely be sorely disappointed by choosing British, but even knowing they are British psychedelic style, I would still choose the one that simply says band first for the same reasons I've already stated before. Huggums537 (talk) 15:14, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * That seems to be referring to https://www.allmusic.com/album/kingdom-come-mw0000327387. It identifies the album's style as "British Psychedelia" (among other style identifiers) in the website's sidebar; it does not say the band is a British band. Moreover, please note that WP:ALLMUSIC says that editors "advise against using AllMusic's genre classifications from the website's sidebar." —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:56, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, I never claimed it said the band was a "British band". I said the band could be partially disambiguated to a British nationality. That is true. It also doesn't require the Allmusic sidebar: Kingdom Come (British Psychedelia), Kingdom Come (British copycats), etc... Huggums537 (talk) 20:15, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Not that these are the best titles, or even particularly good titles, but the point being the possibility of disambiguating to multiple nationalities is there, and if that possibility does exist, then the possibility of confusion in that area also does exist and needs to be taken into consideration...

 * Oppose. It's a clear primary topic. And "87% probably isn't enough"? Spare me, please! In any other walk of life, 87% would be a stellar lead. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:28, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
