The result of the move request was: Moved only Rare (song) to Rare (Gwen Stefani song), and redirected the former to Rare#Songs. Closing early per obvious consensus. No such user (talk) 15:38, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

– The 2016 Gwen Stefani album track (that failed to chart anywhere) is generating five daily average pageviews compared to 100+ for the Selena Gomez single that went top 40 on most charts ([1], [2]). Coverage in reliable sources also heavily favors the Gomez song as WP:PTOPIC. N Ø 07:18, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support 1st, oppose 2nd I'm not completely convinced this is high enough for a PDAB and PT swaps aren't generally a good idea, redirect back to Rare instead. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:25, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Support this. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 14:51, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Rare (song) → Rare (Gwen Stefani song); oppose Rare (Selena Gomez song) → Rare (song). I agree with Crouch, Swale's argument given the rather simple song title. Carbrera (talk) 16:02, 21 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]
Support 1st, Oppose 2nd per above. Primary topic swaps are usually not a good idea, and we don't really do WP:PARTIALDISAMBIGUATION/WP:INCOMPLETEDISAMBIGUATION except in a few unique exceptions. Redirect "Rare (song)" to the disambiguation page. Paintspot Infez (talk) 18:22, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support 1st, Oppose 2nd per above to avoid WP:INCOMPLETEDAB. — BarrelProof (talk) 22:20, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Rare (song) → Rare (Gwen Stefani song) and oppose Rare (Selena Gomez song) → Rare (song) per all above. No incomplete disambiguation. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:03, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support 1st, Oppose 2nd I don't support the Primary topic swap, but I do support fixing the incomplete DAB._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 05:41, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support 1st, Oppose 2nd as per above. Redirect Rare (song) to DAB.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:24, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support 1st, Oppose 2nd per above to avoid WP:INCOMPLETEDAB. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:14, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
