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: Moved, if anyone believe that the film is the primary topic, they can open a new RM for that discussion. (non-admin closure) Iffy★Chat -- 11:29, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Honey Boy → Honey Boy (singer)
Honey Boy (disambiguation) → Honey Boy

– The 11-sentence entry for the reggae singer does not appear to indicate notability of such such overwhelming proportions as to be an undisputed WP:PRIMARYTOPIC over another singer, Honeyboy Edwards, as well as over Honey Boy (song) and Honey Boy (film). The base name should belong to a Honey Boy disambiguation page. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 08:28, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support no clear primary topic given that the film has 107,972 views (thought that's probably recentism) compared to 834 for the singer, 936 for David and 38 for the song. Per WP:NOPRIMARY indeed there should be a DAB for these 4 items. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:48, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support move Honey Boy (disambiguation) to baseline. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:40, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but move Honey Boy (film) → Honey Boy. The film is the clear primarytopic here. Even before its wide distribution release, it was garnering 99% of pageviews. It also meets significance with a well-regarded cast, released at the Sundance festival, etc. Dohn joe (talk) 16:00, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom, no clear primary topic. Move Honey Boy (disambiguation) to basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:58, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Don't treat the film as the primary topic at this time due to recentism, but it could become primary later if notability is enduring. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:54, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
