King of the World (Weezer song) → King of the World (song) – Per this RfC. No other song named King of the World has an article. Nohomersryan (talk) 16:53, 24 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Merge this WP:RECENT song - which didn't make the Top 100 - doesn't deserve an article more than the three other singles of the same name by other bands on King of the World (disambiguation). In ictu oculi (talk) 18:45, 24 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
"I can't give my 'other-songs-exist' argument anymore, let's now find other ways to game the system." This 'request' is pointy and out-of-policy. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 19:45, 24 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Notability is relevant. Of the dozens of songs on the dab page, only two of four singles have articles, but conceivably all four or none should have articles. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:53, 25 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Support, per nom, this shouldn't be contentious anymore despite the same users opposing it. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 19:45, 24 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. The King of the World (disambiguation) page lists two songs with articles and fourteen songs with WP:DABMENTIONs as well as one album with an article and two DABMENTION albums. Each of these three albums also contains a song entitled "King of the World". Taking those circumstances into account, it is reasonable to expect an enhanced qualifier, rather than the incomplete form, "(song)". —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 00:20, 26 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Oppose, to distinguish from King of the World (Point of Grace song). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:10, 26 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Oppose, the newly created stub at King of the World (Point of Grace song) precludes this move. If that article is deleted or merged, then yes, the Weezer song should move to King of the World (song).--Cúchullain ^t/c 17:00, 26 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
New stub works for me. Withdrawn! Nohomersryan (talk) 17:13, 27 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
