The result of the move request was: moved. Per consensus, PDAB, PR, INCDAB. (closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky (talk) 07:58, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lemonade (Beyoncé album) → Lemonade (album) – Album has extreme cultural significance, and has many times more pageviews than other albums titled "Lemonade" combined. Partial ambiguation is acceptable, see Graduation (album) and Thriller (album). Theknine2 (talk) 08:18, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support seems logical per nom's suggestion. A partial ambiguation line a la Graduation (album) seems appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Criticalus (talk • contribs) 20:37, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – If it has extreme cultural significance it would be seen outside music magazines. What fans think is of no significance. I've seen or heard nothing about it outside those spheres. And it's natural that contemporary acts has more attention than historical ones, but I don't think that's reason enough. There aren't really that many people that know that Beyoncé has an album called Lemonade and would be helped by shortening the page name. On the contrary, I think it would be much more helpful to keep this page name. --Mango från yttre rymden (talk) 15:20, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The section in the article titled "Impact and legacy" extensively details the album's cultural significance, particularly around the album's themes about race and feminism. Theknine2 (talk) 11:50, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The other articles Lemonade (G. Love album), Lemonade (EP), and Lemonade (Mucky Pup album) are stubs, and the page views are sufficient for WP:PDAB ([1]). Adumbrativus (talk) 20:31, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support - this album is made by a more popular artist than the other albums included above. The other three are clearly not viewed much since Pageviews starting collecting data eight years ago. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 20:54, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support - per above. It seems like a no-brainer for an album that generated such a large syllabus of academic studies. Everm4e (talk) 20:09, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Incomplete disambiguation. Plenty of other albums by this name. Nowhere near meeting the criteria for primary topic in the last clause of WP:INCDAB. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:14, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:INCDAB. Beyonce's album gets 98.7% of all pageviews, easily meeting the criteria of INCDAB. Although Lemonade (album) does not get many hits, almost everyone who does land there wants the Beyonce album, so we might as well make it easier for them.

proposed additions

I am a student at College Of DuPage . As a part of my assignment I have to contribute a fact to a wikipedia sub-article. I believe I have found a good article about June 2016 concert performance of Lemonade songs. Do you think this will be a good addition? Taline (talk) 20:41, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:SOURCES, to learn more about which articles make good sources for inclusion in the encyclopedia. 162 etc. (talk) 17:27, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Lady Taloun (Taline), I think this article is not the right place for your edit Special:Diff/1168453588, but consider the article The Formation World Tour, about the actual concerts, rather than this article about the album. Your source from Vulture ([2]) seems fine, but make sure to format it correctly so that it actually appears visibly, and imitate how references are formatted in the existing article. And you want to make the content fit coherently into the existing text of The Formation World Tour and sound less like unconnected trivia. Lastly, if you have any general questions, Wikipedia:Teahouse is a good place to ask. Adumbrativus (talk) 06:17, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
