– Clear primary topic. Nothing else notable enough for an article. Unreal7 (talk) 13:46, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Why is it notable? It's WP:RECENT but didn't chart. The comic book and Giorgio Moroder instrumental have more GBook hits. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:11, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yaksar, don't be personal please. Our dab pages are often incomplete. Songs (this is an RM about an album) can qualify under A topic is primary for a term with respect to long-term significance if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term., many Beatles ABBA Stones Lady Gaga etc songs do. But this doesn't and a search in GBooks makes it obvious that it doesn't: "Night Drive is" (the first hit is the title of a well known poem by a Nobel Prize winner). I am not responsible for this album not passing that test. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:12, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
I'm not trying to be personal, but context is certainly important -- this move was proposed and then you proceeded to add to the disambiguation page a dozen topics without demonstrated notability, and then said there were too many other entries for this to be the primary. As you should know, primary topic is determined by relative notability. There isn't some rule that only works by bands you consider important enough can be the primary, as some have tried to claim in the past. We compare to other notable topics at the same name -- your oft-practiced solution of drive-by adding topics without pages to a dab page so that no pop-culture subject you don't personally consider significant enough is at a primary is quite frankly disruptive for readers who may be searching for actual content. We don't want to be elitist: whether we like it or not, an Avici song can just as easily be a primary topic as a pulitzer prize winning author's poem (especially since, as you know, notability is not simply transferable -- the poem would have to be notable too).--Yaksar (let's chat) 19:00, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
All disambiguation pages have entries for topics that have relatively higher notability than other topics. By the standards of relative notability, every dab page would thus have a primary topic. The majority of dab pages, however, have no primary topics.    Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 19:52, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
You're telling me Yaksar that adding a Nobel Prize winner's poem which is the first hit in books to WP:DABMENTION may be "disruptive" to readers that are searching for pop music? Are you serious? In ictu oculi (talk) 05:34, 5 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
