VIP Records (Long Beach) → VIP Records – Unnecessary disambiguation. Blocked by redirect. Gjs238 (talk) 15:22, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

• Strong support. No need for parenthesis.

• Support per nom. This new article could have been written right over the redirect. Station1 (talk) 05:06, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

• Comment this is a primary topic change. The redirect target was changed to this new article. It was referring to a subsidiary of Motown, and there also exists VIP Music Records; many of the articles refer to the record label and not the record store. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 22:16, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

• There is no article for the subsidiary of Motown. "VIP Music Records" and "VIP Records" are official names, so each can have their own article. Each could also have a hatnote. Gjs238 (talk) 01:01, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
• Alright, I see VIP Records has been changed from a redirect to a disambiguation.
  

Suggest alternative target. Looking at Category:Music retailers of the United States several disambiguators are in use: (store), (music retailer), (retailer). Which do we prefer? Gjs238 (talk) 01:26, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Not necessary. You were right the first time. "VIP Music Records" and "VIP Records" are two different titles so just need {{distinguish}} hatnotes. This one is probably primary anyway. It appears that all 8 incoming wikilinks to VIP Records intend this article. And the defunct Motown subsidiary probably isn't notable enough for its own article. The dab page should go to VIP Records (disambiguation). - Station1 (talk) 05:53, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
