What the Dead Men Say (album) → What the Dead Men Say – WP:PTOPIC. --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:43, 3 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. JML1148 ( talk &#124; contribs ) 10:08, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment Per an RM discussion earlier this year, What the Dead Men Say should be a 2-item WP:NOPRIMARY disambiguation page. The current primary redirect is the result of incomplete post-move cleanup.  If the current RM is successful, this would be moot, however. 162 etc. (talk) 04:39, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * It looks like, a new editor, did a cut-and-paste move after closing that RM and then just overwrote the article with a redirect instead of creating a dab page. Rather than reverse that cut-and-paste move, a histmerge was then performed. In any case, there are a lot of incoming wikilinks to What the Dead Men Say that intend the novel, so I turned it into dab page for now, to allow cleanup of those links, without prejudice to this RM.

 * Support: in terms of these articles displaying their notability, the album does so qithout question while the novella needs more sourcing, assuming it is actually notable. And next time, Jax 0677, please follow the instructions at WP:RMPM for moving multiple pages. QuietHere (talk &#124; contributions) 13:10, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose and convert basename to a dabpage per previous RM. No primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
 *  Reply - The number of views for the album dwarfs the number of views for the novella. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:37, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
 * And pageviews are not everything. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:40, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 *  Reply - Nor are they nothing. --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:46, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Necrothesp. You might expect the album to get more pageviews per WP:RECENTISM, but on the long-term significance front, there is no primary topic here. The status quo is fine here. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 12:56, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 *  Reply - The album was released almost 4 years ago, therefore WP:RECENTISM might not apply. --Jax 0677 (talk) 04:24, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Four years ago is still pretty recent. As I say though, on long-term significance there's no primary topic. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 13:34, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
