Ice Cube → Ice Cube (entertainer)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 literal textbook 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)

Ice Cube filmography is missing his appearance on the Television show The Jamie Foxx Show Season 1 Episode 17 entitled "Westside", he appears as himself. ~2026-14572-0 (talk) 17:40, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

Ice 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)

Ice Cube → Ice Cube (rapper and actor)Ice Cube (rapper and actor) – this title is too similar to ice cube as in an actual ice cube. it needs to clarify it is talking about the human rapper. ~2026-38391-81 (talk) 20:27, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose. Same as the previous RM discussion. This is a case of our WP:DIFFCAPS guideline, where such small details like the difference between capital or lower-case "I" or "C"'s usually have distinct meanings. And any further confusion could be cleared up by the hat-notes currently posted at the top of each article. Zzyzx11 (talk) 20:36, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Oppose per Zzyzx11. WP:DIFFCAPS applies here, and hatnotes can do the rest. JeffSpaceman (talk) 22:38, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose don’t see how this is any different from Friendly Fire/Friendly fire or Iron Maiden/Iron maiden or anything to suggest that any significant change has occurred since the requested move request last May.--~2026-36870-08 (talk) 05:16, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose Per WP:DIFFCAPS. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:18, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose the rapper has 3,562 views compared with only 95[] for the ice. If moved the base name should be a DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:08, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
