Not what I was expecting[edit]

This is not what I was expecting. A B-Boy is a breakdancer. Can an admin change this? Zena Dhark…·°º•ø®@» 02:46, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No need to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-boy

Dont worry i have added a notice to the article stating that B-Boy redirects here etc etc.... --- Paulley

Article should be renamed[edit]

B-Boying is a dance art-form beloved world-wide. No disrespect to b-boy, I'm sure he is a fine wrestler and entertainer even if relatively obscure; and this article should be renamed--the B-Boy dance should take this URI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.159.128.235 (talk) 04:55, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

RCW Heavyweight Champion[edit]

I'm not sure how to add citations, and I'm too lazy to look it up myself. But, for proof that B-Boy is the (first) Real Championship Wrestling (RCW) Heavyweight Champion (based in Baltimore, Maryland), if you go to the RCW website and click on the "ROSTER" button, he's listed as one of the current champions. Whoever knows how to add that and wants to do it, go for it. http://www.realchampionshipwrestling.com/ Paleridernightwolf (talk) 17:52, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 18 June 2021[edit]

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: Moved all per nom, and redirected to B Boy and B-girl (disambiguation). No such user (talk) 13:45, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

– B-boy and B-girl are the primary topic, primary redirects to Breakdancing. These similarly named articles should be disambiguated. 162 etc. (talk) 05:02, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support note also B Boy disambiguation page. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:41, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per 162. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 08:55, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support but redirect to B Boy and B-girl (disambiguation) since B-boy and B-girl are lower case terms but these are capitalized per WP:DIFFCAPS and also there is Bargirl[[1]] which is also generic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:10, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nominator. The difference is too small, further disambiguation is needed. JIP | Talk 12:20, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 15:49, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:SMALLDETAILS. Anyone searching with these terms capitalized accordingly is almost certainly looking for the currently associated articles. Sending them to an article on break dancing helps no one. B-boy takes you to breakdancing; B-Boy takes you to the wrestler. Perfect. If it ain’t broke… —В²C ☎ 18:40, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support but redirect to B Boy and B-girl (disambiguation) per User:Crouch, Swale above. Paintspot Infez (talk) 18:53, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
