Not much to say here. Recent good article, hooks cited as required. Can't decide which one is best, so approve all three. –LordPeterII (talk) 16:28, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

– There are only two articles with this title. One is a featured article of a chart topping single. The other is a stub. The song is the clear primary topic. Tree Critter (talk) 22:26, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

– The Adele gets the most page views, but by long-term significance not sure there's a PRIMARYTOPIC, especially since there's a fairly common expression listed on WikiLinks that is more significant IMO.

The proposed title is WP:INCOMPLETEDIS with Water Under the Bridge (Sam Hunt song), which the nominator did not mention. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:11, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Amendment needs to be done perhaps for the proposed title. I think it would be Water Under the Bridge (Adele song). Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 01:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy ping to @Ortizesp for the above changes. @BarrelProof may then re!vote after the changes. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 01:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to Water Under the Bridge (Adele song); the previous move was an exercise in recentism. The primary topic for the phrase is almost certainly going to be the idiom itself. BD2412 T 02:26, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Water Under the Bridge (Adele song) per above. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 06:20, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
