~~The article was promoted to GA status but doesn't mention the song's inclusion on K Bye for Now? Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 06:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]

Nice4What: it is now included on the live performances section.Paparazzzi (talk) 18:08, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, was just leaving a comment, not starting a review. My bad. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 17:35, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GA icon received day before nomination. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. Unable to check for close paraphrasing as Earwig's is down. The first hook is very hooky; hook fact verified and cited inline. I struck ALT1 because it is more niche (I've never even heard of these singers or song). QPQ done. Images are freely licensed. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:35, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review! Regards, Paparazzzi (talk) 03:23, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Idea (song) → Bad Idea – I want to move "Bad Idea (song)" to the title of "Bad Idea", but am unable to due to "Bad Idea" existing Dylx (talk) 16:51, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). --Ahecht (TALK

Bad Idea is already a redirect to a magazine. Why is the song the primary topic? --Jack Frost (talk) 17:57, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, this would need an RM, though I'd personally move Bad Idea (disambiguation) over the (created today) redirect. Spike 'em (talk) 18:00, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My argument for the song being the primary topic is their pageviews, for one. This shows that there is generally much higher interest in the song than the magazine. -- dylx 19:02, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The song is arguably primary with 671 views compared with 121[[1]] for the magazine (which includes views for the base name) but the DAB at the base name may be best to avoid a PT swap. Crouch, Swale (talk) 06:54, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move Bad Idea (disambiguation) to Bad Idea. No real primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:16, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, and support User:Necrothesp's suggestion. 162 etc. (talk) 05:04, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
