The result of the move request was: the primary arguments made here rely on WP:DIFFCAPS and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. (While concerns of recentism are an element in WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, WP:RECENT itself is an essay.) Certainly, the long-term significance of this song is undetermined, and thus one of the two elements of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC remains unfulfilled, but it has also been clearly shown that the other element is fulfilled: at this point, the song is the likely target of any search for the plain title, and there seems to be little utility in pointing readers elsewhere. As always, it will be possible to revisit the location of the article in the future, but at present, there is sufficient support for the position that moving the article to the plain title will benefit readers that the result of the current request is to move the article to Blank Space, per the discussion below.

Blank Space (song) → Blank Space – Clear primary topic given page view stats. Blank space has existed as a redirect since 2009, but received zero page views in the past three months until after the Taylor Swift song came out. [1]. Because of that, WP:DIFFCAPS doesn't apply. There was never a consensus to use the disambiguated title to begin with either. -- Calidum 03:44, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia's policy on article titles.There is a bit of this at the beginning, in the overview, but no section named critical reception talking about it. It should be added. ( Cajalden ( talk) 13:55, 14 December 2014 (UTC))
Should Shane Dawson's Blank Space parody be mentioned? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hclukRzt3o8 -- Joseph Prasad ( talk) 03:15, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Should we add the cover version by Louisa Wendorff? It has garnered 10M views, a lot for a cover. It is the Blank Space // Style Mash-Up, and I guess it is notable enough, even Taylor herself enjoyed it and tweeted it. What do you guys think? Nahnah4 ( talk | contribs | guestbook) 08:43, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
Specifically the 'Postmodern Jukebox' one(s).
My addition of ths 'Cover Versions' section and the listing of the Scott Bradlee cabaret style cover was removed by talk. First excluse: "Not notable". However, the guidelines doe not require notability for additions inside an article/topic. Notability only applies to the need for a separate article itself. Second excuse: "No independent reference". The link to the Youtube Channel (where Postmodern Jukebox themselves released it, so it's not a bootleg) was given. That video alone has 1.8 million views in 4 months! Also, Ryan Seacrest commented on this release on his website: http://www.ryanseacrest.com/2014/12/16/taylor-swifts-blank-space-gets-vintage-cabaret-treatment-in-new-cover/.

The cover is also release on an album and as single in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/nz/album/blank-space-feat.-ariana-savalas/id951297603 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sejtam ( talk • contribs) 07:36, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
How about adding Adam Jesin's Toronto Blue Jays' parody, "First Place" to the article? ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swZmk85s4-w) It has almost 1.5 million views, and was covered by several major Canadian news organizations, and at least one international one too.

This is wrong according to sources:
Some listeners, including Swift's mother,
[2]
misheard the lyrics of "Blank Space", incorrectly hearing "got a long list of ex-lovers" as "got along with Starbucks lovers".
[3] On
Valentine's Day 2015, Swift jokingly
tweeted about the misheard lyrics and
Starbucks responded.

It should read:

for the sake of discussion, since I've changed the key of E sharp major to say key of F major I would like anyone who perhaps has a more advanced knowledge of music theory than myself to tell me why the author or contributor to this page would have written e sharp major instead of F major. as far as I know there is no difference whereas with so-called accidental based keys such as a sharp there is a difference where you may want to call it be flat instead in some cases. This is not the case between E and F. Only rarely have I seen say a c chord referred to as a b sharp or even a b-flat sharp sharp in my years of playing various instruments. also I apologize that the text which says F major does not link to the F major or key of F major Wikipedia article I'm not sure why I did put two brackets around it however.
