– Follow-up to this recent RM. As documented on the DAB page, there are many works named as variations of this title. There does not seem to be a clear case that the Branigan song is primary over any others, particularly the Tritt song. -- Netoholic @ 20:52, 25 August 2020 (UTC)—Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:35, 1 September 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

Support, neither song looks that notable. Nohomersryan (talk) 17:38, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Pageviews indicate proper arrangement (1796 vs 414 for the others combined; "Look Out for #1" is already in its primary-topic position for its variation). There is a case that the Branigan song is primary, and no case that it isn't is presented. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:22, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Another case of The Problem With Page Views. A very poor case for Primary Topic, as there's at least as good a case for primary redirects to Lookin' Out for Number 1 (Bachman–Turner Overdrive song) and Looking Out for Number One (Travis Tritt song) both of which charted better than this one has so far.

  - Comment: That seems to be a case of The Problem With Trying to Make Chart Position a Primary Topic Criterion. No good case for primary redirects has been shown here, while the case for the Branigan song is not poor at all. -- JHunterJ (talk) 18:58, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Small differences in this case are far too small, as most people looking for any of the songs by this title or its variants will not have a clue which variant of the title they want. So all base names should end up at the DAB. Andrewa (talk) 02:52, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, page view stats from JHunterJ indicate users searching with this title are most likely seeking this topic. Let’s not send them all to a god forsaken dab page. This is what PRIMARYTOPIC is for. —В²C ☎ 18:48, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Post-RM comment

I am bold moving the article as suggested above. Pageviews currently are at < 5/day for the Laura Branigan song - that's not a primary topic. 162 etc. (talk) 19:04, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
