Poker Face (Lady Gaga song) → Poker Face (song) – This is the most common song with the name "Poker Face." TheRafaMarc15 (talk) 05:17, 3 November 2021 (UTC) TheRafaMarc15 (talk) 05:17, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:PDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 08:44, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose as there's at least one other song with an article. If this was the primary topic, it would simply be at "Poker Face". Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 09:07, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose, and next editor Speedy close - the rationale of RM is false Poker Face (Ayumi Hamasaki song) In ictu oculi (talk) 17:08, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
  • The only thing false here is your statement. You should know better at this point that partial disambiguation is allowed. -- Calidum 22:41, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose per above. There is no point in having an incomplete title ambiguity. If it isn't a primary topic, make it clear what the article is. Gonnym (talk) 18:38, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
• Support; the Ayumi Hamasaki exists with only one source and should be sent to AFD. This is clearly the primary topic by way of long-term significance (and I would in fact suggest it be moved to "Poker Face" with a hatnote from poker face, but I don't feel that's a move that's likely to garner support). Sean Stephens (talk) 22:46, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
• Support. I wonder if anyone actually reads WP:PDAB, because “partial disambiguation” is explicitly allowed in cases like this. -- Calidum 22:41, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
• Support. Agree with Calidum that partial disambiguation is explicitly allowed per WP:PDAB, so I'm confused as to where the opposition is coming from. In fact, the PDAB page specifically lists the Thriller album as an example. Gaga's page has almost two orders of magnitude more views than the Hamasaki song. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Combefere (talk • contribs) 21:42, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
• Support per Calidum; I'm neutral on a move to Poker Face and relying on Small Details to distinguish from the dab Poker face. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 00:19, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Requested move 22 March 2022

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: 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 (song) → Poker Face – This is the REAL and LEGIT PRIMARY TOPIC. RapMonstaXY (talk) 00:23, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

• oppose the expression is clearly the wp:primarytopic—blindlynx 04:00, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose for the same reason as above. Poker Face is a common expression and more likely to be referenced than this song. While we're at it, this article should probably be renamed Poker Face (Lady Gaga song) since it's not the only song named Poker Face with an article. --Shadow (talk) 06:46, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

  Would just like to add onto my comment...at the time I made it I didn't not see the above conversation about naming it Poker Face (song) vs Poker Face (Lady Gaga song). Based on the consensus above, it seems the majority supported just (song). Shadow (talk) 19:52, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose putting your point across in ALLCAPS doesn't make it so. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:40, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
• Comment: This article shall be renamed to Poker Face (Lady Gaga song) per ShadowRanger. RapMonstaXY (talk) 08:41, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
• Per above if the page is not moved I'd weakly support moving it to Poker Face (Lady Gaga song) since this one gets 7,436 views but the other gets 216[[1]] though I'd agree it is well known especially for the title case version so there may be a case for it to be primary overall. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:46, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose per reasoning above and because ALLCAPS is a bit alarming. No opinion on moving to Poker Face (Lady Gaga song). ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 12:12, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
• Support based on pageviews this is the primary topic for the title case. Showiecz (talk) 12:18, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose in a hundred years, I find it far more likely that people will be talking about the expression than the song, as was the case 100 years ago. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:05, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
• Weak support per WP:DIFFCAPS. While the expression is undoubtedly the primary topic by long-term significance, it is capitalized differently than the song, so we have a situation analogous to (for example) ice cube vs. Ice Cube. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 15:35, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose - no particular argument or explanation has been provided by the nom. Sergecross73 msg me 04:32, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
• Support But not per nom. Rather, WP:DIFFCAPS shows that we can have Poker face and Poker Face at the same time. I also suggest moving poker face to Poker Face (disambiguation) and making poker face a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to blank expression. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:55, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

"Poker face" or "Fuck her face"?

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)

Link to discussion: TimedText talk:Lady GaGa-Poker Face.ogg.en.srt § "Poker face" or "Fuck her face"? -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 20:35, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

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:

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)

• Speedy support per WP:DISAMBIGUATION In ictu oculi (talk) 08:21, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose - The Lady Gaga song is the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the song [2]. Estar8806 (talk) 14:33, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

There is no such thing as WP:PRIMARYSONG any more than WP:PRIMARYMOLLUSC In ictu oculi (talk) 14:46, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

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)

Agree. These cases are specifically provided for by the last paragraph of WP:INCDAB. - Station1 (talk) 20:34, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. This song averages 567 hits per day compared to 11 for the other one.[3] - Station1 (talk) 20:34, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose obvious primary topic. --Killuminator (talk) 21:48, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose it's undoubtedly the primary topic for songs titled "Poker Face" in terms of pageviews, global impact, long-term significance, etc. Heartfox (talk) 22:02, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose as the Lady Gaga song is without a doubt in my opinion the primary topic in this instance. Aoba47 (talk) 22:54, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose. If there was a WP:PDAB situation for a song that would meet the caliber of Thriller (album), it would be this. Steel1943 (talk) 02:39, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
• Support. Multiple songs named "Poker Face", the current title causes confusion between the songs. Dinoz1 (chat?) 18:08, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
• Support per nomination, In ictu oculi and Dinoz1. Poker Face (song) is indeed incomplete disambiguation and should redirect to the Poker face#Music disambiguation page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:17, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose Meets the Thriller standard IMO. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:45, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
