Talk:Killed by Death (song)

There is more than just the Motorhead song. First of all, Death Metal became popular in 1986 and Hardcore Punk was "Killed By Death" and temporarily ceased to exist at that time. Then there are some "KBD" compilations that include raw, simplistic punk rock (see Garage Punk for an example). There are probably some other interpretations too. So "Killed By Death" should be a term.

i agree with the user above about including things such as the KBD punk compilations and "killed by death" as a term

I also agree. "Killed by death" needs a disambiguation page. There really needs to be a page for the series of punk compilations. It's probably fair to argue that the KBD comps are more important, as a whole, than just one motorhead album, as good as it is. HowardSelsam 12:41, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Well move this article to Killed By Death (single), fix the redirects off of the "what links here" and then write your dab page.--Alf ^melmac 13:04, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, I did all those edits for you, you now just have to edit the dab page to add your stuff.--Alf ^melmac 14:02, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

And now it's been moved again, I'm not fixing any more double redirects because of this. There was no confusion as I had sorted all the links. Now their are live redirects. BAH. --Alf ^melmac 05:45, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I've taken care of all the double-redirects as far as I know. I moved it because I see no need to get so specific in page titles to the point where a song is identified as a single. The word "single" has many more meanings, and it is much more easily recognizable if listed simply under "song". I'll leave Motorhead (single), since there's a separate page for Motorhead (song), but in this case, there's no need to go that far.

Is the article about the song or the single?--Alf ^melmac 17:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Currently, the content of the page focuses only on the single, but a fair amount could be said about the song as well, which could be added in at any time.

Why did this get moved back to Killed by Death (single) without discussion?

--Rock Soldier 21:58, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Why did you move it back from single to song without discussion using the reasoning Avoid confusion by not having certain songs under "song" and others under "single"? There is no confusion because this is about a single, not just the song. The song is what is on the album, the single is a seperate entity. This is what we have been trying to say all along. It has tried to be addressed at the songs project, but because of the singular lack of interest there certain parties have taken it into their own hands to improve the flow of encyclopedic information by ignoring certain concepts of structure and standard in order to try something different. Can you comprehend that? – B.hotep ^u/_t• 22:15, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

So I assume if someone wanted to write something specifically about the song, you'd insist that they make an entire new page and call it "Killed by Death (song)", and say it all there?

--Rock Soldier 17:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

No, because that would be ridiculous. Basically, the idea of using single as a disambiguator is to get it away from the clutches of a misguided project who seem to think they own Wikipedia content by doing whatever they wish with it "This is how it has to be because this is how it is" is not in the spirit of Wikipedia and if it continues, it will drive a lot of people away. – B.hotep ^u/_t• 19:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Practically every song is listed under "(song)". So why is it so important that this article specifically be listed under "(single)"?

--Rock Soldier 00:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

It's not just this page which is becoming problematic, as I'm sure you've noticed yourself. I've made many lengthy statements pointing out the disparity with which editors are now treating articles about singles compared with other areas in the encylopedia, I find the literature disambiguations particularly flexible, the 'suggested practice' for songs, if we read the project pages, is following a singularly inflexible system and is leading down the wrong road.--Alf ^melmac 01:24, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
