Talk:What's Going On (album)

message: There's a claim based on Ben Edmond's book on Marvin Gaye that major and minor 7th chords were "unusual" in pop music at the time "What's Goin' On" was written and recorded. That's easily disproved by looking at a chart of the biggest singles of 1970. "Close to You", "We've Only Just Begun", "I'll Be There", "Fire and Rain", "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head"...the major 7th chord was everywhere in 1970 and 1971. It wasn't in every hit, but it was hardly rare or unusual.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.131.221.129 (talk) 01:13, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

message: Why was this moved again? No one is searching for the other albums also named What's Going On, this album should be the primary destination. It's totally unnecessary. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 00:33, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

text: Support. None of the disambiguation entries are as relevant as the album, so it can be a time-saver. 2804:14D:1C79:9C7C:F137:A327:A0C8:8EFA (talk) 22:00, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. Request does not go against Wikipedia policies and guidelines and consensus is that the move can be justified by WP:PDAB. (non-admin closure)  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 21:54, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: What's Going On (Marvin Gaye album) →  – This album is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by a sufficient margin to justify a WP:PDAB. When compared to the other albums by this name – What's Going On (Johnny "Hammond" Smith album), What's Going On (Dirty Dozen Brass Band album), and a partial title match at What's Goin' On (Frank Strozier album) – Gaye's album receives 146.9 times the average monthly pageviews of the other three albums combined. This pageview ratio is comfortably within the precedents for partial disambiguation. The long-term significance criterion also favors this album above the other topics: Gaye's album is often counted among the greatest albums of all time by reputable music publications (e.g. , , , etc.), a level of notability and acclaim that significantly exceeds what any of the other same-named albums have received.
