– There is also MissMatch's single of the same name. ~2026-24631-12 (talk) 14:54, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose as this song is clearly the primary topic for any song called "Drop Dead".Both this song and the artist (Olivia Rodrigo) have received far more coverage than MissMatch and their song (or any other song with the same title). A more appropriate solution is to place a hatnote to the other song. I like octopusestalk to me, talk to me 17:10, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
- Move to Drop Dead per other editors. I like octopusestalk to me, talk to me 17:24, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
Supportper WP:PDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 17:59, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
- Move to Drop Dead per WP:PT1. See my comment below. 162 etc. (talk) 17:55, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose - Seems like somebody discovered the other song only in the aftermath of Rodrigo releasing hers and created the page yesterday, which says enough really. That song fails the notability criteria due to no coverage in secondary sources and probably stands to be merged into the artist article soon. PTOPIC for Rodrigo is established.--NØ 02:43, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
- I have proposed the deletion of the article about the MissMatch song. — BarrelProof (talk) 16:52, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

- I've AfD'd the article. *sigh* I like octopusestalk to me, talk to me 16:00, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

- Comment I'm not here to play favorites but Rodrigo's is more notable so I'm going to have to err on her side. Trillfendi (talk) 18:01, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
- Support per 162 etc. The incomplete disambiguation Drop Dead (song) should redirect to the Drop dead#Songs dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:30, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
- If there is indeed consensus for moving Olivia Rodrigo's Drop Dead (song) → Drop Dead, paired with Drop dead → Drop Dead (disambiguation), I would also support both moves as an alternative option. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:35, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose as this page is the primary topic. Sadslug (talk) 05:48, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.Flabshoe1 (talk) 11:30, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
- Comment Following WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in this case would make the article title Drop Dead, not Drop Dead (song). That's not out of the question, as nothing at the Drop dead dabpage seems particularly notable. 162 etc. (talk) 17:48, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
- Upon further review, I like that better. I've changed my !vote above. 162 etc. (talk) 17:55, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose PDAB leaves room for something like this to be partially disambiguated as a song, while being the most notable version of that disambiguation (ie it's Thriller (album), not just Thriller or Thriller (Michael Jackson album). Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 02:34, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Incomplete disambiguation is never a good idea. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:21, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
