Copycat (Billie Eilish song)Copycat (song) – Other songs had little-to-no notability before the Billie Eilish song came out. DarklyShadows (talk) 22:37, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It should only be in extraordinary circumstances. This song is far from reaching Thriller (album) status. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 05:58, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's a matter of opinion, of course, but with 96% of pageviews, I think it does reach that status. Like Thriller, it even gets more views than the article at the basic title Copycat. - Station1 (talk) 06:18, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Station1, you have consistently agitated against title policy for several years. At some point it becomes disruptive. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:16, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just for the record, I favor current title policy. - Station1 (talk) 20:08, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Compare Hurricane (song). The Dylan song is better known than the others (and indeed better known than some of the other recording artists), but it isn't WP:PTOPIC. Narky Blert (talk) 13:15, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Dylan song was at Hurricane (song) until an unnecessary and undiscussed move back in 2013. It should be the primary topic. And that's despite 17 other songs with WP articles (as opposed to only 2 in this case) and it getting around 70% of the pageviews (as opposed to 96% in this case).
