Key West (Bob Dylan song)Key West (Philosopher Pirate) – The song's title (as listed on the album sleeve and all digital releases) is "Key West (Philosopher Pirate)". The article was previously titled this, but was moved with no consensus and "clearer dab" left as the bizarre reasoning. "Key West" is simply not the name of the song; the parenthetical is a part of its title. If we're going to start truncating song names, should we also hit Street Spirit (Fade Out) and It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)? And just to make sure a WP:COMMONNAME argument wouldn't work, I combed through multiple reviews and articles covering the album and they all list the song as "Key West (Philosopher Pirate)". NYT, New Yorker, LA Times, Guardian, NME, Variety, Rolling Stone, Independent, Atlantic, FT, Slate. Οἶδα (talk) 02:46, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • What am I looking at? .....are you seriously citing a random forum post by some fan writer? embarassing. and this is not a "confusing dab", it's the song's title. Οἶδα (talk) 00:00, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
