Requested move 8 October 2021[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Withdrawn. - Good to know we can move articles without any sort of consensus and then essentially be told I'm wrong to disagree with it. Apologies for disagreeing here - I'll keep my fucking gob shut in future!. –Davey2010Talk 12:24, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Boyz (M.I.A. song)Boyz (song) – Page was moved without any sort of consensus. –Davey2010Talk 19:13, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:46, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Davey2010 and 162 etc.: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:50, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are two articles about songs named "Boyz"; I've redirected Boyz (song) to the dabpage at Boyz. See WP:SONGDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 19:24, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed however for the time being the MIA song is PRIMARYTOPIC here and IMHO the mover should get consensus for the move. Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:29, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. See WP:PDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 21:13, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as WP:INCOMPLETEDAB. No evidence of an extreme degree of primary topic status over the Jesy Nelson song. The threshold for identifying a primary topic for such titles is much higher than for a title without parenthetical disambiguation. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:13, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose (strongly) as an WP:INCOMPLETEDAB / WP:PDAB. See BarrelProof's comment above. Paintspot Infez (talk) 16:34, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong oppose although the Jesy Nelson one is recent it has more views (13,195) than both Boyz (M.I.A. song) (30) and the Boyz (song) redirect (529)[[1]]. The Jesy Nelson one is tagged with notability so if deleted or redirected we can move back but until then we shouldn't partially disambiguate. Although moved without discussion it was essentially done with community consensus as opposed to local consensus and there was no reason to think it would be controversial anyway.
