Should this page be moved to Needy (song)? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:22, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved to Needy (song). (non-admin closure) Hope no one minds me closing this discussion. I realised that removing Ariana's name from the title was uncontroversial and got that done. There’s no need to remove (song) since that won’t be helpful to readers.—N Ø 05:51, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Needy (Ariana Grande song) → Needy – Only song of this name. Wikipedia is not a dictionary and it is doubtful that "Needy" would be a search term for either of the articles currently listed on the disambiguation page Needy, but if necessary there could be a hatnote pointing to them. Just want to add that I would also support a move to Needy (song) if consensus leans toward that. But that move would be uncontroversial since there is no other song called Needy.—N Ø 21:08, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Oppose per nutshell below, move to Needy (song) instead. The baseline needy should redirect to need, but the current redirect to dab page will do. The primary topic grab for an entertainment product isn't helping anyone as most readers looking for a (song) will be actually be helped by (song) being present in the title.

This page in a nutshell: In Wikipedia, things are grouped into articles based on what they are, not what they are called by. In a dictionary, things are grouped by what they are called by, not what they are.

Move to Needy (song) per WP:SONGDAB. There is also Needy, Oregon which is not listed on the dab page. PC78 (talk) 00:21, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
