The following discussion is an archived discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: page moved. It isn't Wikipedia's convention to redirect "Foo" to "Foo (disambiguation term)". The target is a longstanding redirect to this article, so the move can simply proceed. —

Tik Tok (song) → Tik Tok – It already redirects here. Personally I think the new name would be fine (instead of redirecting
Tik Tok to
Tick tock) since it's very unlikely to be misspelled that way and expected to still go to the latter. Gary King(

Change. As there is another song with the same name, would be better to change the name to Tik Tok.

Tik Tok →
Tik Tok (song) and redirect to
TikTok – per
WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Much has changed since the last move request from eight years ago. The video app
TikTok has become one of the most popular apps in the world, and it's often spelled with a space. If you google
"Tik Tok" (with a space), virtually all results and related search suggestions are about the app, not the song.

Support per nom. It remains to be seen how popular the app will be in the long term, but we're looking at
hundreds of thousands of page views per month from people who clearly aren't looking for the Kesha song, and that's hard to ignore.

Support, however, no primary topic as opposed to what nominator says. --

Support - For now at least. No question the app has since become the primary topic.

Support to disambiguate from the app and aid reader navigation. --
Yaksar(let's chat) 01:18, 11 April 2019 (UTC)reply
Support as newer contemporary definitions make redundant any reasoning that was legitimate upon the last page move. Bungle(

Support and disambiguate, per nom. But oppose redirecting "
Tik Tok" to "
TikTok"; it's safer to have the disambiguation at the basename.
Paintspot Infez (

Support and Disambiguate per reasons above. I was hesitant to request this move at first, but I now see the overwhelming support.

And undo 25 August 2018 Neo-Jay moved page
TikTok (app) to TikTok: "no need to add app for disambiguation" ... but there is.

– Though
Tik Tok (song) is at its current title due to a move request that closed literally 5 minutes ago, I noticed a concern when I was looking at
Tick tock#Song where both of the nominated pages are currently listed. The confusion comes into play regarding
WP:NCMDAB, specifically the part that states that "...If the title of a musical group or a recording does not share its title with any other topic in Wikipedia, use the base title". Well, technically, at the present time, both of these articles meet the aforementioned guideline due to their unique spellings, and since there is no other article for a song tiled "Tic Toc" or "Tic Tok". However, this is where there is a
WP:SMALLDETAILS concern: The last letter of the words in the nominated articles' titles ending with a "k" and a "c", respectively. I do not believe that the differentiating spellings of the last letters of the words in the titles are distinguishing enough for readers to automatically assume that the title with the words ending with "k" is for the Kesha song and the title with the words ending with "c" is for the Lords of the Underground song. (In other words, I believe that
WP:SMALLDETAILS beats
WP:NCMDAB in how to title the articles in this case.) For this reason, I believe that to best guide our readers, these articles should be retitled as proposed and both leftover redirects (
Tik Tok (song) and
Tic Toc (song)) retargeted to
Tick tock#Songs.

Support and to be honest yes those novels and films could do with WP:PRIMARYDIRECTS to expanded dab titles, particularly the 3 films. The songs clearly are not clearly consistently and distinctively always Tik or always Tic.
In ictu oculi (
talk) 12:03, 20 April 2019 (UTC)reply
Clearly they are not; some are one spelling and some are another, similar to the disambiguation pages for Cane/Kane/Caine/Cain.
Peter James (
talk) 11:35, 22 April 2019 (UTC)reply
Oppose Disambiguation is only from the same title, not titles that are only the same phonetically.
Peter James (
talk) 11:35, 22 April 2019 (UTC)reply
Oppose. Not the same title.

Oppose Hatnotes solve any confusion for users who may accidentally head or type the wrong title for what they are looking for.--

Requested move 19 April 2023

Tik Tok (song) → Tik Tok – Just minor details in the spelling; a hatnote to social media service
TikTok must be sufficient. RMXY (
talk) 05:21, 19 April 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose. I believe the arguments made in the previous
#Requested move 10 April 2019 still applies. If you Google
"Tik Tok" (with a space) now in 2023, as it was in 2019, a majority of results and related search suggestions are still about the video hosting service, not the song. And like a few others who basically stated in that previous discussion, it also might be better to just redirect
Tik Tok back to the
Tick tock disambiguation page.
Zzyzx11 (
talk) 11:12, 19 April 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose, this would only add ambiguity, notably with
TikTok. I support the current primary redirect of
Tik Tok, and any discussion about retargeting it should happen at
WP:RFD, not here.
162 etc. (
talk) 17:14, 19 April 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose. The popularity of
TikTok means that the spacing variation could refer to it, so
WP:SMALLDETAILS in this case basically supports the status quo.
Steel1943 (
talk) 19:08, 19 April 2023 (UTC)reply
Weak oppose "TikTok" is likely a variant of "Tik Tok", that is to say the the way most readers will search is likely with a space so SMALLDETAILS doesn't really work. Crouch, Swale (
talk) 19:15, 19 April 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose move. "Tik Tok" (with the space) refers to the website more often than it refers to the song. O.N.R.(talk) 23:43, 19 April 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose due to popularity of the social media platform and agree with the IP address re where the
Tik Tok page points.
