Requested move 17 December 2015

 * 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. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Moved per consensus, as well as will shortly move the DAB page as well to the base position. Need to cleanup a lot of the links first. Tiggerjay (talk) 02:33, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

My One and Only → My One and Only (musical) – The musical (viewed 1849 times in the last 90 days) is not a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC when considering the film (viewed 6157 times in the last 90 days) and the song (viewed 452 times in the last 90 days). Moreover, the musical was named after the song. The base name should be redirected to One and Only (disambiguation). —BarrelProof (talk) 23:44, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support move, but also Move My One and Only (film) to My One and Only. The nom's usage stats show that the film is viewed more than the other two articles combined = 73% of the time, in fact. We should also have a separate dab for "My One and Only" and "One and Only", with appropriate see alsos, as they are different phrases. Dohn joe (talk) 15:06, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The 1927 Gershwin song is a classic. It has a historical significance that outpaces its hit count (and it was the basis of the title of the musical for that reason). Considering that and the fact that the film is only a few years old and doesn't seem especially notable (e.g., it didn't win any awards and was not a huge critical or commercial success), and that the article view ratio is not that huge (73% is not 90% or 95%), and that a substantial number of other topics are now identified at the new My One and Only (disambiguation), I disagree with positioning the recent film as a "primary topic". —BarrelProof (talk) 17:53, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Everyone draws their line somewhere; I think that 3 out of 4 readers going to a particular article is well within the comfortable range - especially considering that that number is higher, given that the basename currently points to the musical article. Some of those people wanted the film article as well. Dohn joe (talk) 18:20, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support as proposed and move My One and Only (disambiguation) over the base position. As usual with media products there is not absolute encyclopedic topic that needs to be ambiguated. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:19, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * So Oppose additional move of My One and Only (film) to My One and Only ... if anything was primary it'd be the Gershwin song not the film. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:46, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear in case that boldface "oppose" confuses someone, you're not opposing the move that I proposed; you're opposing Dohn Joe's additional suggestion. I am also opposed to that, as expressed above. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:53, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Correct In ictu oculi (talk) 17:56, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
