Can't Stop Feeling (disambiguation)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Taking to AFD since PROD was removed. This page only contains partial title matches aside from the primary topic, and DAB's aren't supposed to just list subjects that contain certain things as only part of their titles. Best to delete it as there is only one "Can't Stop Feeling" entry. Snuggums (talk / edits) 13:56, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Inclined keep, looks useful to readers - David Gerard (talk) 15:24, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Not really when only one entry is actually titled "Can't Stop Feeling" and everything else has other parts to distinguish it from that title. Also, see WP:USEFUL. Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:32, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Quoting the last paragraph of WP:USEFUL:There are some pages within Wikipedia that are supposed to be useful navigation tools and nothing more—disambiguation pages, categories, and redirects, for instance—so usefulness is the basis of their inclusion; for these types of pages, usefulness is a valid argument. Uanfala (talk) 19:23, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - My point was that it doesn't carry much weight to merely say something is useful without giving a good reason for how/why. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:48, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - In the case of content articles, saying that something is useful without giving a reason doesn't carry much weight. But when it comes to navigation aids, if someone says that they find something useful, full stop, well... it means that it is useful. You could see that both in the quoted passage from WP:USEFUL as well as for example from criterion #5 of WP:RFD#KEEP. Uanfala (talk) 14:55, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:PTM. There's only one topic that "may refer to" Can't Stop Feeling so a disambiguation page is unnecessary here. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:21, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Changing to keep. A couple editors I have high respect for have convincing arguments to keep and I don't want to be in the same camp as someone who WP:BADGERs every opposing vote. -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:01, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is the case that only one of the entries actually matches the title exactly, but the rest are so similar to it that they're easy to confuse, so the dab page decently serves as a navigation aid. Uanfala (talk) 19:23, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- They aren't actually THAT similar; people can definitely for instance tell "Can't Stop the Feeling!" from "I Can't Stop This Feeling I've Got". Let's not exaggerate similarities. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:48, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; dab pages with WP:PTMs are a dime a dozen; most are useful. This one is no exception. And please, don't tell me what I can and can't tell apart. I find these entries related enough that it would be easy to confuse them. — Gorthian (talk) 02:30, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't go so far as to say "dime a dozen". Regardless, other pages being mistakenly filled with partial title matches doesn't justify doing so here. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS for more. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:11, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure badgering all other commenters will get them to agree with you? - David Gerard (talk) 07:58, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; Per Gorthian. There are apparently many songs in which the band or artist cannot stop feeling. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 02:44, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Dabs are cheap and it's a logical search for a variety of titles. Montanabw^(talk) 21:39, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
