The result of the move request was: no consensus. The nomination statement for this discussion was just a bare assertion of primariness without any supporting evidence, and some editors opposed for this reason alone. Among those who engaged with the merits of the move per se, editors were roughly split, depending on how they weighed the pageviews, the disambiguating power of WP:DIFFCAPS, and the long-term significance of blank expression.

"Poker face" or "Fuck her face"?

[edit]

I would like to correct the lyrics in the captions for the song snippet. I've submitted the obviously-correct lyrics but they keep getting reverted unfairly. -- 71.193.20.55 (talk) 20:34, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just copying this first argument here for the record, as it should have been included originally:
My corrections to the lyrics are accurate and very easy to verify, and my reasons given are included in the edit history.
The lyrics are very clear - literally, just listen to what she's saying in that portion. Just listen to that portion of the song, which is clipped and provided on the song's page right here on the Wiki. It's very very clear. Here are some links for additional verification:

While this discussion is now two-years inactive, it does seem to still be a point of contention based on the edit history of the article proper as recently as a month ago, so I feel the urge to weigh in. The addition seems to keep being reversed based on "lack of proper source", which the above few might not be good enough to count as even if properly added in ref tags. But, to note, the other discussion on the TimedText talk page does show the fifteen year old concert clip of the artist herself (as well as, because this is not the era that King and Goffin got their start in, writer) admitting to the fact that the explicit lyric is in fact correct. And that's apparently enough proof for the TimedText namespace page itself. It seems silly to keep it from the article and continue to assert that it isn't the fact that she so readily acknowledged less than a year after the song came out. It's not much different from Let's Get It Started in the grand scheme of things. Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 16:54, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Poker Face (song)Poker Face (Lady Gaga song) – Last 2021, I proposed this page title changed from Poker Face (Lady Gaga song) to just Poker Face (song), but why did I have to propose it in the first place? I checked the dab page and there is another song named "Poker Face" with an article, and that is the song by Ayumi Hamasaki. Maybe the current article title for the Lady Gaga song is not fine after over a year, so I propose to reverse this move in 2021. RMXY (talk) 07:03, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, but there is a primary topic between one of the world's best selling singles of an all time, and a song that peaked at no. 20 in Japan. Estar8806 (talk) 15:49, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. These cases are specifically provided for by the last paragraph of WP:INCDAB. - Station1 (talk) 20:34, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
