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. — David Levy 20:28, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
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 ( talk · scripts) 19:29, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved and redirected. ( non-admin closure) samee converse 21:08, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
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.

– 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.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Closed early per snowball clause . ( closed by non-admin page mover) – Material Works (contribs) 22:22, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
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)
