My Kind of Love (Emeli Sandé song)My Kind of LoveMy Kind of Love is currently a redirect to My Kind of Love (Emeli Sandé song). However, no other article named My Kind of Love exists, so no need for disambiguation. Also, currently My Kind Of Love (with a capital 'O' in 'Of') redirects to My Kinda Love, possibly due to In the Land of Hi-Fi (Patti Page album), but I would argue WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Sandé's case, as both My Kind of Love (Emeli Sandé song) and Our Version of Events have considerably more hits than My Kinda Love and In the Land of Hi-Fi (Patti Page album), and even searching My Kinda Love on Google brings up Sandé's song first.

So, my complete suggestion is to move My Kind of Love (Emeli Sandé song) to simply My Kind of Love, change My Kind Of Love to redirect to My Kind of Love and link the reference to My Kinda Love in In the Land of Hi-Fi (Patti Page album) directly to My Kinda Love.

I tried initiating the move myself, but could not. --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 04:18, 17 July 2015 (UTC) FeFiFo (talk) 02:17, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My Kind of Love now is a dab. My Kind Of Love was directing to the 1929 song. So even more Oppose, In ictu oculi (talk) 02:48, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Station1: that technical request move 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:80C2:210F:17F1:8DAE is contrary a previous discussion relating to the pre-war jazz standard also recorded as My Kind of Love (Sarah Vaughan song). Any way to undo the technical move please? In ictu oculi (talk) 08:08, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The history of this article's title is quite muddled due partly to a cut-and-paste move and subsequent history merge, and then move, both during the previous discussion. Rightly or wrongly, the title at the time the previous closer decided on "no consensus" for a move was "My Kind of Love (song)" (29 July 2015). You subsequently moved the article back to "My Kind of Love (Emeli Sandé song)" on 25 April 2016 without further discussion. Due to the unclear history, and especially since the title is now under discussion again, below, I think it best to leave it as it is until an administrator decides on the best title based on arguments made below. The case for "My Kind of Love (Emeli Sandé song)" or any other title is best made there. Station1 (talk) 18:43, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Right, okay that wasn't clear looking at "no consensus" after all this time. Very odd situation. But no drama. Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:45, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

– The initial move two years ago was completely unnecessary. This is the only song on Wikipedia with the title "My Kind of Love" and the other similarly titled song with an article is called "My Kinda Love". Plus, as this is the only song on the disambiguation page with an article, this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:80C2:210F:17F1:8DAE (talk) 19:16, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Louis Alter's My Kinda Love is also called "My Kind of Love" in some books and on some 45s. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:08, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment, while I do not doubt that, the page is not literally called "My Kind of Love". Also, this song is more recent and more well known today; I live in America and while it didn't chart so well here I saw the music video on BET Soul a couple days ago. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:E471:FB5:DF1E:FF87 (talk) 01:51, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No but the dab page listing all the songs is. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:44, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. My Kind of Love would be a valid title for My Kinda Love if there were not a better one, ie if the version by the current name did not exist or even was less notable. So this title My Kind of Love is ambiguous, and unless a PT case is made (and it hasn't been) the DAB should stay at the base name. Andrewa (talk) 20:44, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
