– I am not requesting a move because this song is the primary topic, which it is clearly not. In fact, if you think about it literally by the article's name, it is the only topic, as P. Diddy's songs are called "I Need a Girl (Part One)" and "I Need a Girl (Part Two)". All that is needed in this article if this move comes to pass is a note saying "for P. Diddy's songs of similar names, see Part One and Part Two" or something like that. But again, this song is literally the only song with the name "I Need a Girl". 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:8BB:55F:E0BA:1473 (talk) 20:24, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's because the Ed Sheeran song was a No.1 worldwide while Shape of You (Beverley Knight song) doesn't appear to have charted anywhere. Which is the reverse of here where you're proposing putting a barely known song over a No.2 based on how it was titled in some versions. Per "Combs may be trying to woo back JLo with his hit song, “I Need a Girl,” (featuring the lyricis: “I need a girl to make my wife...”)" .... etc. the "(Part One)" isn't always there. Likewise The New Rolling Stone Album Guide 2004 Page 665 "a return to form driven by a series of addictive singles: the Neptunes-produced spelling lesson "Diddy," the hip-hop ballad "I Need a Girl," the back- to-basics bragfest "Let's Get It," ..." Where's (Part One) in Rolling Stone? It isn't always there. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:01, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. As detailed above, there are a pair of much more notable songs with basically this name, but with an inbuilt disambiguator or subtitle of "(part one)" and "(part two)". Those subtitles do not remove those two songs from contention in assessing the primary topic, and per our usual rules we should have the dab page at the base name because there isn't a primary topic (and also, if there were a primary topic it would be one of the P.Diddy songs, not this song).  — Amakuru (talk) 15:22, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
