The downward trend continued into earlier this year — and to say something is "stable" in Wikipedia based on just one month of data is laughable.

The article has fulfilled the primary topic criteria since this time last year, even before its huge rise in popularity upon release. It's safe to say that this article is stable at ~600 views/day based on that pre-release interest, even if it has not had much time post release to settle into the same pattern. That is far beyond typical primary topic criteria.

Oppose: While the game may be the primary topic, the song isn't an obscure topic. Its music video amassed more than 219M views, which is way more than that from the game (e.g. views from trailers, gameplay etc). I agree we should wait for a year or two before making a decision.

Does that matter at all? People are clearly more likely to need an encyclopedia article to describe a game than a music video, regardless of the video's views. Views of a video do not indicate primacy of the subject on Wikipedia, only Wikipedia pagegviews do that.

I still agree with Bkonrad that
WP:RECENTISM is the issue. It is kinda unfair to pit a song released five years ago against a new video game released just four months ago.

Weak Oppose I looked at
Talk:High on Life, and there, the song was judged to be primary. Obviously the video game didn't exist, but it shows the song did have enough renown to be considered primary at one time. So I agree, I would wait a little while, in my opinion. --

You said it yourself, that was in 2018 before the game existed. I would have agreed back then. Now it's simply not, hence the new RM.
