On 26 July 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved to Dave Omoregie. The result of the discussion was not moved.

BBC Approved[edit]

The article says Dave's father was absent during his childhood. He was deported from the UK in 1998 when Dave was 4 months old. Should this be mentioned - his father couldn't be there, rather than was an absent father due to family break up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.216.106 (talk) 09:46, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a source for it, then yes. Thanks, Thatone~~weird~~wikier Say hi 16:12, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 26 July 2021[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. There is a clear consensus that Dave is the subject's common name. (closed by non-admin page mover) Lennart97 (talk) 12:03, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dave (rapper) → Dave Omoregie – There are several rappers named Dave. Jax 0677 (talk) 11:15, 26 July 2021 (UTC) --[reply]

Oppose Per WP:COMMONNAME. Sources refer to him as Dave. — Mcguy15 (talk, contribs) 15:48, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Mcguy15. He is not well known by his full name. Sock (~~tock~~ talk) 17:45, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. That's why disambiguations and redirects exist. If we are talking title changes then personally I think "Santan Dave" would be better. Contributor404 (talk) 18:40, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Agree that if a name change is to happen should be to Santan Dave. It's recognisable and is used on his social media. Kcanz (talk) 20:40, 26 July 2021 (BST)
Oppose. Nothing has been provided to indicate the current title is problematic. I skimmed some articles called "Dave", and came up with no other contradictory mononymous uses. Nohomersryan (talk) 04:05, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Agree with the above, Santan Dave makes a lot more sense but I don't believe you've demonstrated enough why a move is necessary. Madbrad200 (talk) 18:18, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Proposed change doesn't seem helpful or beneficial for readers, nor editors. A case could be made for Dave this to be an instance of a partially disambiguated title, as he would undoubtedly be the most notable rapper by the name. Sean Stephens (talk) 12:06, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Spoken word genre?[edit]

Is there any article that describes him as Spoken Word? Much of his performances seem to incorporate it. 2A02:C7F:40D3:A900:487F:E462:A149:66F8 (talk) 12:33, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
