16 Days (song) → 16 Days – Use a hatnote for the Tamil film--which is at a different name anyway. There is no need for a dab with just two elements. —

Second question - please where's the guideline on distinguishing or not
16 Days from
Sixteen Days (just jotted down a few links here as a dab, probably not complete)... ?

Support, as there is only one article in Wikipedia properly titled "16 Days".

User:BD2412, the
WP:DAB guidelines have recently been clarified to state that whether there is only one article is not important. Seems these other songs are all other songs mentioned by Wikipedia articles, not covers.

I have provided direct evidence that the song on
Songs in G is, in fact, a cover of the Whiskeytown song. What evidence do you have that the other songs are not covers? Or does a {{
fact}} tag need to be added to your claim?

Hey BD2412, I meant all the ones on the dab. It's not my fault that this article doesn't include the first line of the lyrics or mention of who covered it.

If you saw an article on an album by a random band that contained a song titled "Jingle Bells", would you assume based on this title that this was an original song, and that Jingle Bells should be turned into a disambiguation page to accommodate it?

Oppose without further evidence that this song is
primaryvis-à-vis all of the articles at
Sixteen Days. —

At the time this discussion was initiated,
16 Days and
Sixteen Days were two separate disambiguation pages. I grant that there is not much basis to distinguish the titles beyond that, although I note that we have, as a longstanding principle, allowed different articles to exist at titles that are identical but for the capitalization of a letter.

What do those have to do with anything? There are articles on other songs by those names. --

If that's the preferred option, it should be
16 Days (Whiskeytown song), though. Contemporary songs are usually DABbed by performer, not songwriter. —

@BDD - What that has to do with anything is that those are other articles on other songs by Ryan Adams.

Sorry I didn't even think to check
Sixteen Days. We should probably redirect
16 Days to that and leave this titled how it is. Thanks. —
