Talk:DP

DP is also an abrev. for Durban Poison.

anyone know the meaning of DP when referring to a PHP game site (like Neopets.com) it could be a way to cheat the game or not but the secretivity of the context I encountered makes me lean to a cheat  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.181.234.158 (talk) 04:16, 18 January 2009 (UTC) dfddddddddddddddddg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.50.221.91 (talk) 06:58, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

DP → DP (disambiguation) – Almost every entry on the dab page (except Dude Perfect) is very rarely actually referred to as DP. Most of the time when I see the DP abbreviation it refers to Dude Perfect, and when I look up DP on Google, most of the results I first get have something related to Dude Perfect. Try looking up DP on almost any search engine in fact, and you will see an information box about Dude Perfect. So the plan is to move the dab page to DP (disambiguation), and after that, make DP redirect to Dude Perfect. Logo fixer (talk) 17:37, 7 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose, per WP:RECENTISM and others. This isn't like "BP", "GE", "EA", "GQ", "DC", or "BK". The sheer number of equally-relevant meanings for the abbreviation are plenty to keep the disambiguation page at the basename. There are a bunch of encyclopedic meanings with a strong likelihood of being what users are searching for. Paintspot Infez (talk) 19:00, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Recentism is bad, right? This requested move is not bad. It's just a possible move because Dude Perfect is equally as known as the current primary topics of the acronyms you listed are. Logo fixer (talk) 20:42, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose - per Paintspot. Acronyms have a high bar to be moved away from primary as there are so many potential uses. This helps us catch bad wikilinks. -- Netoholic @ 19:31, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Not trying to be vulgar, but the first thing that came to my mind when I saw "DP" was Double penetration. Rreagan007 (talk) 02:14, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose, This would be very much recentism. Contrary to the nominator's assertion, there are items on the list that are commonly styled as "DP", have existed longer than the current #13 YouTube channel, and will almost certainly continue to be spelled "DP" long after "Dude Perfect" has been entirely forgotten about.  (The nominator's assertion that this YouTube channel is "equally as known" as General Electric, British Petroleum, and Burger King makes me wonder if this proposal was perhaps not entirely serious.)

 * Comment - It is serious. I was just trying to show how the acronyms: BP GE EA HP VW BK aren't the only ones that could redirect to a company, and DP could be possibly one since Dude Perfect is also a very well known company (in fact, Dude Perfect has released 5 so called "DP quarantine classic" videos and so many others where it calls itself DP).
