The result of the move request was:not moved. No evidence that the song is the primary topic for "The A Team".DrKiernan (talk)16:40, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The A Team (song) →The A TeamThe A Team – The show and movie are calledThe A-Team. This song has no dash between A and Team.68.44.51.49 (talk)22:06, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The question would be is someone typing The A Team looking for the song or are they more likely looking for the show and not realizing that there is a dash in the title. If the second case is more common the article should not be moved because the show would be the more likely target. There is also a link to the song article on the other article so someone looking for that can find it.--174.93.164.95 (talk)22:26, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose the primary usage of "The A Team" is the TV show, so should redirect there. --76.65.131.248 (talk)01:06, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It already does.--174.95.111.105 (talk)01:56, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Support no dash in the name of the show.Unreal7 (talk)22:05, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose; not the primary topic for this title, as the TV show is more likely the topic being sought.Powers^T00:12, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to the nominator the two are spelled differently, so a topnote should be sufficient in the event that someone types in "A team" when they are looking for the TV show. "A team" and "The a team" should, and do, redirect to "The A-Team".Apteva (talk)22:09, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • They are punctuated differently, but I disagree that a hatnote is sufficient in this case; too many people are likely to look for the show under this title.Powers^T21:56, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was:not moved. Not a hope. But we are all learners here (hopefully), and it's a good result as it has improved the relevant articles. Thanks to all concerned.Andrewa (talk)18:38, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The A Team (Ed Sheeran song) →The A Team (song)The A Team (song) – I have redirected theBarry Sadler song to his article, as the song clearly failsWP:NSONG, so the Ed Sheeran song is the only song called "The A Team" with an article. JE98 (talk)15:24, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). —Frayæ (Talk/Spjall)20:20, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. I have restoredThe A Team (Barry Sadler song) with additional references that show the song has been the"subject of multiple, non-trivial published works". While that articlemay still failWP:NSONG, in print sources there are more than twice as manyhits for the Barry Sadler song ashits for the Ed Sheeran song. Weighed together with the iconictheme from the A-Team television show, there is clearly ambiguity for the title "The A Team (song)" making theA Team redirect page the best target for the title. — AjaxSmack 16:12, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose@JE98: you cannot just blank articles competing with Ed Sheerhan and then request a technical move. If you want to delete any song titles competing with Ed Sheerhan or other favourite artists you need to put in a deletion request. Have you blanked and tech-request moved any other songs?In ictu oculi (talk)21:26, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@In ictu oculi:.Special:Permalink/850121071:Bad Mood (The Vaccines song) → Bad Mood (song). Move did not appear controversial and I completed it. —Frayæ (Talk/Spjall)21:32, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. Okay thanks. that's undoing a move by@Yeepsi:. 51 in Belgium doesn't immediately strike one as requiring a move given that a quick search shows that the Miley Cyrus song is better known. But then since the Miley Cyrus is better known. Ho hum. Again RM might have been better.In ictu oculi (talk)21:49, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Under the circumstances I have moved it back toBad Mood (The Vaccines song). I would suggest some kind of discussion or an RM before moving it again. —Frayæ (Talk/Spjall)21:53, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. The title could also refer to the once well-known TV series theme; seeThe A-Team#Theme song.bd2412T03:44, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
