Toxic (song) → Toxic (Britney Spears song) – Ambiguous; see Toxic (BoyWithUke song) and Toxic (YG song). Retarget Toxic (song) to Toxic (disambiguation)#Music. 162 etc. (talk) 01:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 01:18, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – The Britney Spears song has an ~11:1 pageview ratio with the BoyWithUke song and the YG song combined. Considering that not too long ago an RM was closed to move "Imagine" (John Lennon song) to "Imagine" (song) which had the same combined pageview ratio (~11:1), the fact that both the BoyWithUke and YG songs were released within the last three years (possible WP:RECENTISM), and the possible historic influence of the Britney Spears song, I would say that this would be an acceptable WP:PDAB. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 04:30, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Imagine" is exceptionally significant; it is in the Grammy Hall of Fame and the National Recording Registry, among other accolades. Britney Spears' "Toxic", while having enduring notability, is not on that level. WP:PDAB is reserved for the rarest of occasions, and this is not one of them. 162 etc. (talk) 04:56, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, per Brainulator9, I second that this would meet WP:PDAB per WP:PT2. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 01:46, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, I think it meets WP:PDAB based on WP:PT2. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 01:12, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Britney's song the primary topic here. ~~ Jessintime (talk) 16:46, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
