Development and Summary

Under this section of the article, three girls are listed: Benni Cinkle, Amanda Cooper, and Hayley Grodt. However, I am struggling to find any information on these 3 girls. Benni Cinkle has her Wikipedia page, but I have yet to find any information on Amanda and Hayley.Becca.j521 (talk) 03:53, 5 April 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Becca.j521 (talk • contribs) 03:51, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsensical intro

Is it just me, or does the introduction at the moment seem slightly nonsensical: "It is Black's debut single, because it is labelled by ARK Music Factory, and due to that, this song are first originally released as a music video release on February 10, 2011 (which is on a Thursday), and then, it were officially released as a single on March 14, 2011 (which is on a Monday)."

How does the debut single relate to the label, and why are the weekdays mentioned with the dates? 87.92.122.173 (talk) 15:55, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Friday (Rebecca Black song) → Friday (song) – Although this article has a ~4:1 pageview ratio with "Friday" (Daniel Bedingfield song) and "Friday" (Riton and Nightcrawlers song) combined, the Rebecca Black song likely meets WP:PRIMARYPDAB, WP:PT1 and WP:PT2 per both page views and overall long term significance, especially as one of the most-disliked videos on YouTube. (Also, the moderate pageviews for the Riton and Nightcrawlers song may be WP:RECENTISM.) JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 06:05, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose ~4:1 is nowhere near enough for a PDAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:22, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Crouch. Also, there are two other articles about songs with this title, and about a dozen other songs with the same title listed on the dab page, including several songs by very well known artists. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:27, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Crouch, Swale and BarrelProof. Incomplete disambiguation, indeed. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 17:58, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose less than 100:1 ratio of this song versus all other songs combined for a PDAB. This isn't the primary topic, since the proposed name is still disambiguated, so it needs an even higher threshold than for PTOPIC, as ambiguous disambiguators just confuse people, ambiguous disambiguation is a bad idea -- 65.92.244.143 (talk) 04:53, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Clear incomplete disambiguation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:12, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - as other arguments, and suggest this will be a very clear WP:SNOW. Chaheel Riens (talk) 13:44, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
