Requested move 16 September 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: Moved to Circle the Drain (Katy Perry song). While the discussion leans to a "no consensus" outcome, that in itself is an indicator of WP:NOPRIMARY, combined with the similarity with other titles at Circling the Drain (disambiguation) . Since neither song is terribly well known, there's also a "meh" moment, so disambiguating and redirecting to the dab page seems the best solution. No such user (talk) 12:28, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
Circle the Drain → Circle the Drain (Katy Perry song) – Soccer Mommy has a song named "Circle the Drain" Jax 0677 (talk) 23:38, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

- @Jax 0677 and BarrelProof: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:57, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- But is the Katy Perry song a proper WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Circle the Drain"? The Kay Perry song article gets about 2.7 times as many page views as the Soccer Mommy song article. — BarrelProof (talk) 06:31, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Movenominator's comment. (CC) Tbhotch™ 19:47, 25 September 2021 (UTC)- Circling the Drain and "Circle the Drain" have multiple meanings. Also, Katy Perry's song is not equivalent to Thriller. This is a similar discussion to Manic (Halsey album). --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:22, 16 September 2021 (UTC)- Agree. Circle the Drain can become a primary redirect to the dabpage at Circling the Drain. 162 etc. (talk) 19:19, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- Support as this is no longer the primary topic. I also support making Circle the Drain a redirect to Circling the Drain. Aoba47 (talk) 00:48, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose as the Soccer Mommy song is honestly not notable enough in my own opinion; I don't think Katy's song should be affected because of an indie artist's song (and this isn't meant to demean Soccer Mommy or whatever.) shanghai.talk to me 12:55, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose while the Soccer Mommy track has garnered sufficient coverage to warrant an article, it's definitely not as prominent as this song and (probably) got less attention from the press to begin with, plus there's the page view stats that BarrelProof brought up. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 20:42, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reply - A ratio of 2.7 is not necessarily significant enough to merit Perry's song being the primary topic. --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:25, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Meh irrelevant topics. For sure, excluding a weird peak in 2019,[1] people rarely care about the expression. (CC) Tbhotch™ 20:01, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
Cover art
editSome time ago, SNUGGUMS removed the cover because he couldn't find it on any legitimate site. After I found this artwork on Katy Perry's website and contacted him about it, could I ask someone to re-upload it, please?
