The result of the move request was: No move. It appears we have consensus against the proposed move to "9. April (film)". I'm closing now per request below so that participants can pursue a separate RM discussion for a different title. Cúchullain ^t/c 16:52, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

9. April → 9. April (film) – Restore to original article title with (film). I've just added a film poster, which is probably more useful for searching for mobile users than (film), but adding (film) will still help PC users. 9 April naturally redirects to the date, so the extra dot here probably doesn't pass WP:SMALLDETAILS. (film) will also help those who came here from IMDB etc, looking for "9th April"... In ictu oculi (talk) 22:38, 10 December 2015 (UTC)--Relisted. Cúchullain ^t/c 14:09, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:SMALLDETAILS. Adding a dot between the day and month is an uncommon format in English. Anyone adding that dot is likely looking for this film - certainly enough to distinguish it from other titles. Dohn joe (talk) 22:56, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support some people do use dots to separate date portions. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:33, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support per WP:SMALLDETAILS! Would the average reader know there's a dot in the title? I don't think they would. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:59, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose per Dohn joe. SMALLDETAILS, despite the claims above, also allows the current title. Calidum T|C 16:40, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose per above, looks like a textbook example of WP:SMALLDETAILS to me. I don't see how the proposed page move helps anyone. PC78 (talk) 19:06, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose. Not sure who would use a dot for the day of the month in date formatting, is there any evidence that is a common formatting? Zarcadia (talk) 04:57, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose. Article should be renamed to April 9th (film)[1][2][3][4] per WP:NCF. Film Fan 13:18, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
• Administrator's comment: While it appears we have clear consensus against the proposed title, we need further discussion of Film Fan's argument that it should be moved to "April 9th". Specifically, we need discussion as to wheter that is is the common name in English reliable sources.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:09, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Should this RM be closed before a new one is started, Cúchullain? Film Fan 15:04, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

We can do that if you'd like, sure.--Cúchullain ^t/c 15:06, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

I think it would simplify the process. Film Fan 15:32, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

9. April → April 9th (film) – per WP:NCF, the title most commonly used in the English-speaking world should be used, and the only title used in the English-speaking world is April 9th. Sources:[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], etc. Film Fan 18:16, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

• Support currently not at a helpful title. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:45, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support per sources in nomination. The current title isn't even the correct Danish form, which is "9. april", witness for instance [16]. Favonian (talk) 12:27, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support - Most commonly used in RS. I'm surprised the page was created with the name 9. April. Meatsgains (talk) 03:17, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
