Where the Light Gets In (album) → Where the Light Gets In – Target is a redirect to a non-notable subject. This is the primary topic and does not need a DAB suffix. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:20, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Where the Light Gets In is a redirect to an album. It was the lead single for that album, but is not sufficiently notable. I propose moving this article over the redirect unless there are objections. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:16, 18 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose. I'm unconvinced by a "primary topic" argument for an album that was released just a few days ago, nor would I be quick to dismiss the notability of the Primal Scream single. PC78 (talk) 10:32, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: I've turned the redirect into a dab page. PC78 (talk) 10:47, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * There is no other article so I'm sorry you don't understand that this article is the primary topic. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:50, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:ONEBLUELINKDAB: "The existing article does not automatically become the primary topic." There is a redirect (a redirected article, in fact) with the same title, this album released the day before yesterday is not obvioulsy more notable than a single by a significant band.

 * Interesting. Can you show that it's a search term? If not, we'll likely be moving. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:39, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * What? Clearly a single released by a significant band (and a collaboration with another notable artist) is going to be a likely search term, if not a notable subject in itself. The page will only be moved if you can establish a concensus for doing so, in which case I suggest you try making a stronger argument and start citing some valid guidleines.

 * So in short, you can't supply stats to show the number of readers clicking through that redirect to the article to read nothing about the supposed single. Clearly a "single" that isn't a likely search term. Let me help with those stats: |Where_the_Light_Gets_In here. There is consensus and there is no guideline for a non-notable song being considered a reasonable DAB. Hatnote is enough. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:16, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Concensus has not yet been reached, clearly, as the discussion is ongoing. (And why have you put quotation marks around single? It's a fact that can be supported by reliable sources, for crying out loud.) Those same page view stats don't establish the album as a primary topic either, as the article hasn't existed long enough to provide any meaningful data. I've cited a guideline above and Google searches below, I think I've already made my case and I really don't think that you have made yours, but I'm going to let it rest and move along because this has taken up too much of my time already.

 * Because it was only released as a video. It does not appear to have been released to chart as a single. That's why it's not a likely search term. Could you please learn to spell? It's consensus not concensus. That's not a difference between any variation of English. Walter Görlitz (talk) 08:03, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Support hatnote is sufficient. As far as I can see, WP:ONEBLUELINKDAB is intended for cases where there are multiple notable topics by the same name as a single existing article and we expect that articles about those other topics should be created. I don't see that it applies when the only other topics by the same name are non-notable WP:DABMENTION topics which are unlikely ever to support their own articles. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 14:45, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:DABMENTION refers to dab pages and isn't relevant here. Also, your argument assumes that the song is non-notable. Top Google searches in different territories (UK, Canada, Australia) are for the Primal Scream song and a book, not the Jason Gray album. PC78 (talk) 15:13, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Support since the album is the only thing known as "Where the Light Gets In" that has an article. -- Tavix ( talk ) 22:10, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
