– The album derives its name from the song, which came first, so the names should be swapped to avoid recency bias. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:57, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The album is 30 years old, and the song is less than 70 years old, so there isn't a very obvious recentism problem. Being a little older or having one name derived from another does not make the older one automatically primary. Readers appear to be more interested in the album than the song by a pageview ratio exceeding 2:1. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Per WP:DPT, "historical age is not determinative." We consider two things: Pageviews and long-term notability. 162 etc. (talk) 21:13, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe a DAB page would be better? Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
