– I am not convinced that WP:DIFFCAPS is sufficient disambiguation and that the song is the primary topic of "blank page". sovereign°sentinel (contribs) 10:59, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Looking at the disambiguation page, I can't see why this needs disambiguating. — Calvin999 11:05, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support this was released in Korea and reached 53, how on earth is it notable for an article. Looking in Google Books The Smashing Pumpkins's song "Blank Page" is at least as well known as Aguilera's. User:Sovereign Sentinel Better would be Blank Page (Christina Aguilera song) In ictu oculi (talk) 13:48, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please see WP:NOTABLE. Dohn joe (talk) 14:16, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just because it's South Korea and number, doesn't make it any less important than another chart in another country. People need to stop with the whole "It's not as if it wasn't number-one in America" thing. The world does not revolve around US-centricity. — Calvin999 09:24, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Blank Page (Christina Aguilera song) would be a bad idea because the Smashing Pumpkins song does not have its own article. Anyway, I would argue that Intentionally blank page is the primary topic for "blank page". sovereign°sentinel (contribs) 13:57, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:SMALLDETAILS. Uppercase is used to distinguish articles all the time. Dohn joe (talk) 14:16, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment we seem to be missing an article on the "blank page" metaphor, which should probably be primary instead of 'intentionally blank page' -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 06:04, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose upper case IS in fact sufficient disambiguation per WP:DIFFCAPS Snuggums (talk / edits) 01:19, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
