Isn't Harry Belafonte the main reference for this song title in books? In ictu oculi (talk) 08:52, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: NO CONSENSUS. For what it's worth, the disambig page appears to have blossomed since the original nomination. Hadal (talk) 18:19, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

– This song's article was actually initially created at what is now the disambiguation page (which didn't exist until the emergence of the song). With the exception of the Harry Belafonte live album, I can't find anything notable about anything else on the disambiguation page. George's song has actually already been viewed more times this month than last, so it's not as if this is an unpopular page. Unreal7 (talk) 16:07, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Listen to the Man (George Ezra song) → Listen to the Man
 * Listen to the Man → Listen to the Man (disambiguation)
 * weak oppose to what seems to me might be a pointless move. Googling "listen to the Man", the result "Listen to the Man (George Ezra song) - Wikipedia, the free ..." comes high in the listing.  GregKaye 16:42, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Must be a pretty convincing case, if GregKaye is only a weak oppose.... :) Dohn joe (talk) 22:37, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. -- Calidum  00:48, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose WP:RECENT This isn't the only subject, this isn't the main subject in books, and why is (George Ezra song) not helpful to people looking for a George Ezra song? In ictu oculi (talk) 07:14, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Recentism doesn't apply when nothing else is notable at all. Unreal7 (talk) 20:23, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Why is Harry Belafonte not notable? In ictu oculi (talk) 06:00, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * He is, but his album isn't. Unreal7 (talk) 11:14, 13 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Per Something (Beatles song) as "Listen to the Man" is an common expression (capitalized on with this song), that has previous, current and future notability i.e. Long-term significance has already been established. --Richhoncho (talk) 20:57, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:DIFFCAPS, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and WP:CONCISE, probably among others. Red Slash 21:58, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support per . Clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of this term; there are no other articles of this title, or more than a passing mention on any other article.--Cúchullain t/ c 17:26, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Anyone is welcome to start Listen to the Man (The Troggs song) here's the artwork: https://mocholand2.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/c-troggs.jpg In ictu oculi (talk) 16:11, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * No one's going to, given that it didn't chart and isn't notable. Unreal7 (talk) 09:57, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Support – Responding to the above comment it actually charted at 41 in December and agree per nom. 2601:C:3004:2BA6:E44C:B9F5:B872:5828 (talk) 02:24, 22 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Insufficient evidence that this most recent song of at least four by that name (there's a quite famous and historically significant Harry Belafonte song Kwela (Listen To The Man)  which doesn't even get a direct mention on the DAB yet) is the primary meaning, and it seems unlikely in terms of long term significance. At best too soon to tell. Andrewa (talk) 19:01, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved to Listen to the Man. Despite the no consensus move above, we do have a consensus for PTOPIC here, and actually the disambiguation page can go, it has no other actual articles of that title, only entries for non-notable songs that point at artists. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 13:44, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Listen to the Man (George Ezra song) → Listen to the Man (song) – Per the the RfC on song article titles, the consensus is to use "(song)" as the disambiguator unless there are other articles on songs of the same title. See also recent RMs such as this and this. In this case, there are no other articles on songs titled "Listen to the Man". In fact, this is the only article of any kind called Listen to the Man, so ideally it should go to the base name, but at any rate the disambiguator should be in line with the prevailing consensus.

 * Support, and I'd even take it a step further and say that I'd also support a move to the base title. -- Tavix ( talk ) 02:37, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Support Tavix's proposal of moving to the base name. Unreal7 (talk) 08:47, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Move to Listen to the Man as primary topic and Listen to the Man to Listen to the Man (disambiguation). -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 16:59, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Agreed, move to Listen to the Man as there is nothing else relevant on Wikipedia with that name. Billboard Man (talk) 14:14, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
