Some People → Some People (film) – There really should be a disambiguation page for "Some People". This article already has four hatnote links to other pages (along with a link to each performer, etc—for a total of eight hatnote links to other articles). I was about to add yet another link, but there are already too many.

This movie is not notable enough to be the primary topic (witness the fact that this is the only entry on its talk page, and fewer than ten editors have worked on the article since its creation three years ago). This page should be moved to Some People (film), and "Some People" should be a dab page instead, but I don't know how to make that transition. Someone who does should. The dab page should include the hatnote links currently on this page, plus one additional link as described in the following paragraphs.

I was looking for information on the song "Some People" from the musical Gypsy. It's not at all an obscure song (the Gypsy article lists it as one of several of the musical's "songs that became popular standards"), surely at least as well known as this obscure movie is; but only after chasing several wild geese did I find the song in the Gypsy article.

All four of the other "Some People"s linked to in this page's hatnote are songs, but none of them turned out to be the one I was looking for. Although the song from Gypsy doesn't have its own WP page, there should be a link to the Songs section on the Gypsy page (Gypsy: A Musical Fable#Songs) for people like me who have heard the song but can't place it and want at least that much information about it.

• I have set up page Some People (disambiguation). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:06, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

• Support the disambiguation page should be moved here. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 22:54, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
• Support – the phrase is too ambiguous to support a primarytopic claim. Dicklyon (talk) 01:31, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
• Support - The ambiguity of the phrase in general is irrelevant, but the 1962 film with only 1041 views in January is not the primary topic. There is more than one other use; so a dab page. I call WP:SNOW. --B2C 17:45, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
