• I Could Be the One (Avicii and Nicky Romero song) → I Could Be the One
• I Could Be the One → I Could Be the One (disambiguation)

This song has been a massive hit all over the world, the other song barely made the top 40 in Ireland and the UK. Unreal7 (talk) 19:44, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose per
  WP:SONGDAB. Where there are two or more songs with the same name it correct and proper to disambiguate by the artists name. I daresay there are many other songs with the same title mentioned in WP, too. --Richhoncho (talk) 12:08, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply

• Oppose per
  I Could Be the One (Marti Webb song). In ictu oculi (talk) 16:02, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply

• Oppose: (edit conflict, written before IIO confirmed what I suspected) This song is a very WP:RECENT release, and the article doesn't describe anything that would point to this song as having any special enduring significance, so it is not clear whether it will have any special status in terms of long-term notability. If someone looks around a little bit, I suspect we would already find other topics that are covered on Wikipedia that should also be included on the dab page. I generally believe that the names of artists should be included in the titles of articles about their songs and albums. That makes the titles more clear and recognizable, and avoids future maintenance headaches over whether to consider some particular song or album as primary. New releases often appear with the same names, and the popularity of music is volatile. WP:NCM supports this view. —BarrelProof (talk) 16:12, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per
  WP:SONGDAB and ditto. --Vivaelcelta {talk  · contributions} 10:28, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply

• I Could Be the One (Avicii and Nicky Romero song) → I Could Be the One
• I Could Be the One → I Could Be the One (disambiguation)

– More than 5 years after its release (and prior to Avicii's death), target article was still crystal clear.[1] Unreal7 (talk) 22:21, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose no primary in long term significance here. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:40, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Support per nom. 93% of pageviews is pretty darn compelling. Dohn joe (talk) 16:16, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per In ictu oculi. Insufficiently notable to overwhelm the other two titles at the disambiguation page.    Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:56, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  It was a top-ten single in eleven countries, including number one in the U.K..... Dohn joe (talk) 14:21, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It would seem, however, that the same arguments which prevented this nomination from succeeding five years ago [Requested move, 11 October 2013, above] have not changed.    Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:34, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The previous RM was from when the song had been released less than a year, thus the WP:RECENT arguments then. We now have an additional five years of experience to see that this article remains vastly more viewed than the others. 120 views/day is nothing to sneeze at, and shows the relatively greater enduring notability over the other article. Dohn joe (talk) 18:41, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Support. Pageviews and chart positions show that the Acicii and Nicky Romero song is clearly the primary topic. — Newslinger talk 04:12, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Support. Primary topic in what's essentially a
  WP:TWODABS situation.--Cúchullain ^t/c 19:50, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply
  ]
• Support. This is the primary topic. The only other entry with an article of this title may not even pass the notability criteria for songs. The editor whose username is Z0 18:14, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
