– I don't think there's a primary topic 134.199.113.124 (talk) 22:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Year appears to be the most significant, all other years around 679 are at the same title format, with the AD redirecting to just the plain numbered year.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 00:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support We've already broken the consistency bandwagon in other cases, i.e 911, so that's not a convincing argument here. Given there are several other uses with more views then the year it isn't the primary topic. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support the year has 217 views but the song has 2,450, 679 Artists has 252 and the number has 15[[1]]. The song isn't primary by long-term significance however the number would likely be a contender however it isn't a separate article. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:21, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support (strongly) per nom and per other users above. See User:Crouch, Swale/Year DAB for other non-primary year articles. Paintspot Infez (talk) 19:21, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Also, back during the "User:Crouch, Swale/Year DAB" days, the users @Certes, KingSkyLord, and JFG: had other suggestions for cases where there's no primary topic for a certain string of digits, so it might be worthwhile to check out some of those suggestions as well.

Support. Page views and search results clearly show the song to be primary by usage over all available timescales. Being nine years old, that's not just recentism. The year and number have greater long-term significance, so a dab at the base name serves our readers best. Certes (talk) 15:36, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
