Cover art[edit]

Is cover art not included because it is the same as, or at least very similar to, More Life's covert art? ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:35, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved, with Fake Love being converted into a dab. Primefac (talk) 17:38, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Fake Love → Fake Love (Drake song) – I really this is going to be a controversial move, and I can already see why people would oppose to this, as Drake is essentially the most popular artist of the 2010s. However, following the release of the new BTS single three days ago, also titled “Fake Love”, that song has received a lot of attention.

If you check out the iTunes chart archives for both songs’ peak positions following their releases (links: Drake and BTS), you will see that in some countries, both songs have reached the number one spot. Some prefer Drake, some prefer BTS, others prefer both.

I am in the United States, and even though the BTS song has only peaked at number two in my country, they have been promoting it so much here this week, performing at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards last night, and will perform on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this coming Friday, one of the biggest talk shows in my country. If you look at the page views analysis here, the BTS song had more views yesterday, most likely because of the Billboard Music Awards.

Finally, I find the term "fake love" to be more of a generic term. A small disambiguation page (WP:TWODABS) would work for two songs like this, as Drake’s song is not even two years old yet. I can understand why many people would say instantly that Drake’s song is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC because "Drake’s more popular in the US". However, these are two clearly different songs that are from the same time period. In fact, "Fake Love" did not do as well as Drake’s other hits chart-wise. While we do not yet have chart positions for the BTS song, it could end up doing really well for them, even outside their home continent.

Again, I understand if you disagree because Drake is the biggest artist of the 2010s, but I worked really hard to work on this request, so while this may be longer than others, I would appreciate you taking the time to understand my position before making a decision. Thank you for reading. JE98 (talk) 17:09, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. To suggest Drake's song was relatively less successful is a bit misleading, given the long list of charts, but I support nonetheless, per nom. ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:53, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – I should also mention that the BTS song is confirmed as scoring the biggest 24-hour debut of 2018 on YouTube so far: [1]. JE98 (talk) 13:11, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per RECENTISM. This is jumping the gun -- as the nomination says, this new song is less than one week old. We are not the news, and fortunately are not required to do anything preemptive to assess long term notability. Nothing against revisiting, but this is really acting without having any actual reason to yet.--Yaksar (let's chat) 17:41, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
