Please → Please (disambiguation) – I have created a primary topic article at Draft:Please, and propose to move the current disambiguation page to make way for the primary topic. BD2412 T 19:32, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, Please (Pet Shop Boys album) gets 4,756[[1]] views but its likely that this is primary per PT#2 and as a general meaning anyway. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:47, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The dab page now at Please is getting ~260 hits/day, which is high, vs ~230 for Please (Pet Shop Boys album).[2] We should try the draft at the base name for a few months and see what the page views look like after that. But I would add a direct hatnote pointing to the album. Station1 (talk) 06:37, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. No evidence has been provided for the assertion that the word is the primary topic, and we don't send e.g. Thanks or Thankyou straight to gratitude but rather to DAB pages. I'd prefer to move it to Please (adverb) in line with other articles about words such as Me (pronoun). I don't buy the "general meaning" argument, per WP:NOTDICT. If, after a time, it's clearly the primary topic by usage then we can move it over the DAB. 94.21.10.54 (talk) 05:57, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PS thanks to User:BD2412 for creating the draft. I would think it a good candidate for WP:DYK with the fact that saying "please" can sometimes make people less likely to help. 94.21.10.54 (talk) 06:06, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My DYK freebies are all used up, and I haven't since earned any more points there. Cheers! BD2412 T 19:18, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support moving disambiguation page to make way for new article. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:55, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination, per Crouch, Swale, per Station1 and per Shhhnotsoloud. Draft:Please is a strong and very well sourced entry which appears to be a deserving candidate for WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:07, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support and another justly deserved kudos to BD2412! Red Slash 22:02, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
