How many kids? (4 or 5?)
editI think third-party search engines are getting on my nerves: they aren't sure if Ice Cube has 4 or 5 kids. Seems like search engines are all mixed up due to someone named Deja Jackson. Can anyone look and find some references that either prove or disprove this person as one of Ice Cube's children ... cause I'm struggling bad to find this info.

Ice Cube → Ice Cube (entertainer) – Changing back the name if it used to be called this. I don't think it makes sense to have two articles with the exact same name. The article Ice cube talks about the cube-shaped ice while this article talks about the rapper. I think it would be better to leave the name of the cube-shaped article the way it is while adding "entertainer" in parentheses to this article to make it a better name. (This is also because not only Ice Cube is a rapper, but he is also an actor.) Hikingboii (talk) 21:36, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. Literally a textbook example of WP:DIFFCAPS. 162 etc. (talk) 22:59, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per DIFFCAPS. Agree this is a textbook example. Very minor, distant-secondary point, but this also avoids having to decide if he's best described as a rapper, entertainer, or some other label. --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk 16:37, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per DIFFCAPS, same as above. I'm not sure who would get Cube and ice cubes confused, and they're already disambiguated on each others' pages. I have exhausted so much time on wii sports (talk) 20:29, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. That's one clear WP:DIFFCAPS winner. Steel1943 (talk) 20:41, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose And hopefully put a moratorium on any future move requests of this nature... ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:24, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per the above as
literaltextbook WP:DIFFCAPS. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:35, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Didn't it used to be mentioned as an example at DIFFCAPS? Mdewman6 (talk) 00:37, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- That's what I thought too, hence my "textboook" comment. 162 etc. (talk) 00:53, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- While it's been removed from WP:DIFFCAPS, I did stumble upon this example still in use at Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Different spelling variants today. --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk 21:14, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

- Oppose as this is why there is WP:DIFFCAPS and hatnotes. cookie monster 755 12:51, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Kids
editIce cube does NOT have a daughter named Deja. Deja was a researcher who passed away and is commonly said to be Ice Cubes daughter but she is not. He only has one daughter. ~2026-22831-29 (talk) 01:39, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
