Talk:Diddy (disambiguation)

On 10 September 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Diddy to Diddy (disambiguation). The result of the discussion was moved.

Requested move

The (disambiguation) is cumbersome; most people searching will write Diddy. It is already indicated as a disambiguation by the notice on the bottom, and other disambiguation pages like SMS don't have (disambiguation) on the ned of it. Hbdragon88 06:55, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect

This page (Diddy) is currently a disambiguation page. Some people have converted it into a redirect to Sean Combs, but I don't feel that this is justified, as there are several other high-profile meanings for "Diddy". In particular, there is a reasonably famous dance act called "Diddy". Fourohfour 19:08, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just following on from what you said, most people now a days will recognise the meaning of the word Diddy as Sean Combs as he is a well know music producer/singer songwriter. The dance version of Richard Diddy Dearlove was added to the disambiguation page so if people were looking for him then he was on there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.6.94.131 (talk • contribs).

the talk between Cassie and Diddy

Diddy and Cassie are not going out or having a baby togther so get that straight people they are just good people —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.116.194.12 (talk) 19:38, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Diddy → Diddy (disambiguation) – Make room for a primary redirect of Diddy to Sean Combs. Combs is best known by this stage name, which he has used since 2005; pageviews last year were around 94%. 162 etc. (talk) 20:28, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Diddy shows 1.17k out of 1.6k (~73%) go to Sean Combs, so by mononymous usage it looks like there's a case for a primary redirect. --Joy (talk) 09:38, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. No primary topic in terms of long-term significance. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:12, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per significance, especially in terms of significance vis-a-vis this name in particular Red Slash 20:51, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Diddy → Diddy (disambiguation) – I propose this RM following Extorc's previous closure (Not Moved) almost 20 months ago. Since that time, the landscape has shifted, with updated pageviews and reliable sources reflecting the current usage of the term "Diddy", which should redirect to Sean Combs. WP:PRITOP has two primary topic requirements, both addressed here.

Firstly, WP:PT1 is fulfilled, as Sean Combs is far more frequently associated with Diddy than any of the other topics. A review of pageview data from this Diddy disambiguation page shows a significant proportion of outgoing traffic directed toward Sean Combs. Numerous reliable sources refer to Combs by his widely used stage name (see WP:USATODAY, WP:RSPCNN, and WP:NYT).[1][2][3] A simple Google search confirms that results overwhelmingly favor the rapper over other uses. Meanwhile, the other topics currently listed under "Diddy" are of far less enduring notability and frequency of use. They would remain easily accessible via a hatnote on the Sean Combs article:

In the case of WP:PT2, while the strongest argument which was used to oppose the previous RM claimed that "Diddy" does not meet the primary topic standard in terms of long-term significance, the reality is that no other topic linked to "Diddy" has proven to be more significant or widely recognized; thus, redirecting "Diddy" to Sean Combs is appropriate as he clearly dominates the association with the name.

WikiNav reports that out of 3k incoming views in July 2024, 2037 of 2.2k outgoing views went to Sean Combs. The next most-clicked outgoing link has only 71 clicks. Combs' article account for > 80% outgoing views from Diddy in June 2024 also. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 14:55, 11 September 2024 (UTC) and 22:51, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment reverting closure Sorry, I was on a roll earlier closing discussions and neglected to check the dates. I started working on a few items from the bottom of the list and didn't realize that the malformed requests section was not, in fact, part of the backlog. I hope I haven't disrupted too much, but I've reverted my actions to allow this move to continue. ASUKITE 03:32, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
