Back 2 Life → Back 2 Life (Sean Kingston album) – Per WP:SMALLDETAILS, the usage of the "2" as a number instead of "to" as a word may not be enough for this title to distinguish itself from other titles listed at Back to Life, a disambiguation page. Also, I currently have no opinion on whether the leftover redirect Back 2 Life should remain a redirect towards its new title or if it should be retargeted to Back to Life.

Oppose. I doubt someone typing "Back 2 Life" would be looking for anything but this album, so it's not necessary to disambiguate it. The difference between "2" and "to" is enough that SMALLDETAILS doesn't apply, particularly since that section (also known as WP:DIFFCAPS) generally covers only capitalization and plurals. -- Calidum 20:28, 15 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

I don't know about that. I'd be looking for Back to Life (However Do You Want Me), and no sources even stylize the subject as so. I guess the assumed connection with slang or shortened symbols with R&B and/or rap would lead me to that conclusion. Steel1943 (talk) 23:33, 15 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Support, per WP:SMALLDETAILS, stylistic differences are not helpful for navigation. --Richhoncho (talk) 11:43, 16 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Oppose per WP:DIFFPUNCT. Nothing else on the dab page is spelled with a "2", so it seems very unlikely anyone would use that searching for anything else. And if they do, the hatnote will get the where they want without sending all other readers to a dead end.--Cúchullain ^t/c 19:15, 1 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
Oppose I'm sure if anyone searches this title, they will be looking for this album. Koala15 (talk) 15:05, 2 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
