Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no consensus to move; need to revisit when the song is less recent to determine if it's the primary topic.Cúchullain ^t/c 19:03, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

– WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as shown by the traffic stats. See also "Something", which is primary ahead of "Something" (Lasgo song), and also "I Will", which is primary ahead of nine other songs of the same name. Also, before you finish typing "Gotta Be You" (e.g. "Gotta Be Y"), the One Direction song is the first suggestion.

Oppose - this seems like a case of WP:Recentism to me. The One Direction song has been more viewed recently because it is a recent song, but that is no reason to believe that will always be the case. The Beatles songs you mention are a different case completely - they are songs with historical significance, which this song can't claim yet. If in doubt, disambiguate.

This has to be the primary topic. Nothing to do with recentism and I'm not in any doubt. The Sugababes' song wasn't even a single and 3T's song barely charted. Unreal7 (talk) 22:14, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support - agree with Unreal7's notions AdabowtheSecond (talk) 17:36, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This song peaked at number three on the national chart of the United Kingdom, all those other songs didn't chart or poorly, this will always be the primary topic unless Lady Gaga or Rihanna etc, make a song called Gotta Be You, it will always receive more views as its a major release.

It's got fuck all to do with recentism. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Unreal7 (talk) 20:17, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tracklisting[edit]

Could someone add a tracklisting section for the single? This is usually part of a Wikipedia song page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.130.132.32 (talk) 12:08, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I second that, I just came to this page to see the single formats and tracklisting, and it's indeed missing. As mentioned above more than a year ago, "This is usually part of a Wikipedia song page." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.21.71.46 (talk) 05:31, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
