[edit] Title

Have I been mis-reading it for the past 25 years or does the title of this song really have two "don't"'s? -- eo 20:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I've seen it listed both ways, but Whitburn lists it with two, so I suppose that's as good a way to leave it as any, unless somebody has an actual copy of the single. GassyGuy 00:11, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Here's a photo of the single's label. http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=98750 The title is correct. --131.229.60.25 16:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge White Lines (Duran Duran song) into White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)

  • Also support merge with the Duran Duran article on this song... there's barely any info there anyway. -- eo 20:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I also support the merge. GassyGuy 00:11, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. DON'T MERGE! This is a completely different release than Grandmaster Flash's! - Feduciary 16:46, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Here we go again. It's the same song, however you put it; the article can only be enriched by including all versions. –Unint 03:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral; I wouldn't necessarily object as the DD article is pretty slim, but I think it could be expanded, and it'd be a shame to lose its parallels with other DD singles articles. See also my opinion at Talk:Perfect Day. — Catherine\talk 18:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose: As was said above, I'd support an expansion of the DD section, but I don't think they need to be merged. The DD page is an entry in their discography, and should be separate. I think the small blurb in the Grandmaster Flash page is sufficient enough. KhanadaRhodes 04:12, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. On the grounds that the two songs are really not that similar. Duran Duran's cover sounds a lot different than the original. --ChrisP2K5 04:42, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
