The Game of Love (Santana song) → The Game of Love – The song appears to be the PRIMARYTOPIC. The song had about three times more traffic than the album despite having the disambiguator, even though the album is a few years newer. The song is also much more popular, at least in the English-speaking world. –CWenger (^ • @) 02:54, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

• The Game of Love → The Game of Love (album)
  • Or make page The Game of Love the disambig page? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:17, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
    • I bet a lot of the traffic for the album is simply because it is at the undisambiguated article name. The album seems pretty obscure while the song was extremely popular. But your solution would definitely be an improvement. If nothing else we can see what the traffic looks like a few months after the move and adjust accordingly. –CWenger (^ • @) 17:50, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
• Disambiguate per Appleyard. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 06:51, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
• Move per nom. There's no point in making a dab page for two entries if one of them is clearly a more likely search term. Jafeluv (talk) 08:14, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

The Game of Love (Santana and Michelle Branch song) → The Game of Love (Santana song) – Michelle Branch is a featured artist, she is not credited to be in a duet. --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 21:34, 26 October 2014 (UTC) © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 22:00, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

• Comment - the song was moved to 22:12, 1 June 2011‎ CWenger to Talk:The Game of Love (song): "additional disambiguator not needed and Michelle Branch was a major part of it)," contrary above RM result, so Michelle Branch was considered "a major part of it" by mover. Personally no opinion between (Santana song) or (Santana and Michelle Branch song). In ictu oculi (talk) 23:07, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

• Being a "major part of it" (comment by an user, not a music critic), and legally being credited as a duet, are two different things. Unless anyone finds evidence this is a duet, there is no reason to classify it as a duet. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 23:39, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

• Comment only. Checking the links, one site listed as a Santana and Branch song, two sites as Santana featuring Branch, and the Billboard entry for Branch doesn't list the song at all. In spite of this I am not convinced removing Michelle Branch serves any beneficial purpose as she appears to have been marketing as part the single. --Richhoncho (talk) 11:11, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
• Support. The topic of the article is The Game of Love. The disambiguator is only there because there's more than one topic by that name, and if it weren't for those others we would just call the article The Game of Love. We need a disambiguator in this case, but we don't need to put the whole article lead there! Santana song is quite adequate. Andrewa (talk) 07:09, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose - I didn't want to vote because I relisted it. However, I will say no to removing "Michelle Branch". Despite the circumstances, Branch sang the whole lyrics. --George Ho (talk) 02:03, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

The Game of Love (Santana and Michelle Branch song) → The Game of Love (Santana song) – Per before we don't credit featured artists, no matter how much they contribute, for example Category:David Guetta songs (all the "David Guetta and X" are DJs too, featured vocalists are not included: Sun Goes Down (David Guetta and Showtek song), not Sun Goes Down (David Guetta, Showtek, Magic! and Sonny Wilson song)). Further, consensus at "Diamonds" denoted what I said before, yet this was not supported here. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 04:46, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

• Comment this isn't a featured vocalist, this is the vocalist. Santana doesn't sing on the song. Neutral In ictu oculi (talk) 07:37, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

• Comment in case someone support this^. She's not a vocalist, she's a featured artist. Santana's discography is: "Carlos Santana sings", "Santana's instrumental" or "Santana featuring Someone", Branch is the third. Into the Night (Santana song) (not Into the Night (Santana and Chad Kroeger song)), Nothing at All (Santana song) (not Nothing at All (Santana and Musiq Soulchild song)) and Cry Baby Cry (Santana song) (not Cry Baby Cry (Santana, Sean Paul and Joss Stone song)) further supports this, and these are the Santana's songs with non-Santana member vocalists that have an article disambiguated. If you want me to move with the non-vocal DJs like David Guetta, Avicii or Giorgio Moroder (just to cite 3 out of hundreds), I can. I don't see why Branch would be in the title when it was already decided featured artists are not to be in the title, not only through one RM which settles a precedent, but hundreds of similar cases that existed before "Diamonds"'s RM. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 09:13, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

• Support, we don't include featured artist 2601:541:4305:C70:ADC3:DB78:B2F:9147 (talk) 17:42, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
• Support. Including Branch is unnecessary for disambiguation purposes. This is a Santana song, so the proposed title better fits WP:PRECISE and WP:CONCISE.--Cúchullain ^t/c 22:27, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
