[edit] Requested move

No Depression (album)No Depression – Origin of the name, no need for two-item dab page. trialsanderrors 06:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

We should reverse the move and let No Depression be the disambig. There are more than two items really. In the video series American Roots, Gillian Welch describes "No Depression music" or "Alternative country" as an American music whose name can be traced back to the Carter Family. Also, in a bonus disc available with some copies of The Devil You Know, Todd Snider has a conversation with Nanci Griffith where he says (something like), "What do you call what we do--No Depression music?". -MrFizyx 19:05, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Covered with No depression (disambiguation). I changed the headers. I never actually heard of the term "No Depression music", but if you want you can create a redirect to alternative country and add a dab header. ~ trialsanderrors 19:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
I suppose they just call it "No Depression", there is also some history with an AOL discussion board. The magazine was named for the AOL board, which was named for the UT album which was named after the Carter Family song... You can read about it a few places.[1][2] I would have left the main namespace as the disambig, and the album where it was, but I suppose what you've done works for now. -MrFizyx 20:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah I just added the lineage to the No Depression (periodical) article. I'll add your source too. ~ trialsanderrors 20:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
