The Contact (1997 South Korean film)The Contact – There's nothing else called "The Contact" - parenthesis isn't needed here. Unreal7 (talk) 14:24, 27 July 2015 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 13:34, 5 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Yes but that guideline has been stuffed around - see discussion. In fact such variance is extremely unusual and only applies to super notable cases. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:01, 7 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I thought this was a new discussion (per Erik's post at WT:FILM), apologies, I've already commented above. I had no idea this had been dragging on for two months. Although my additional point still stands. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 14:08, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
I figured since my opposition made the outcome less clear, that I would see if additional opinions could be solicited to decide one way or another. Erik II (talk | contrib) (ping me) 14:18, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose per Lugnuts, Erik II. - Gothicfilm (talk) 19:50, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment - did nobody look in Google Books for "film The Contact"? The Contact (1963 film) (which was a redlink from the Wendy Richards filmography) got as many references as the Korean film Jeopsok, and the "the Contact" on the Korean film's non-released abroad working English title is very odd, why "the"? Jeopsok means connection or juncture, not "the" connection, this is relevant since it's far from intuitive that anyone looking for the Korean film in English would add "the". Anyway, to simplify matters I've created a stub for the early John Hurt film, someone who thinks an early Spastics Society film featuring a major UK actor isn't important can try to AFD it. But even without it, this move isn't helping anyone. We could move to The Contact (1997 film) that would mess readers up a little, since the US film is also 1997, but not as much as the proposed move.

  • Oppose. There is no legitimate reasoning within any Wikipedia policy or guideline that would support such a move. Not to mention, the film's actual title is 접속, not The Contact. Not to mention, even the OP's reasoning is flawed: The Contact already lists 3 items with that title. And as with any generic title, "Contact" and "The Contact" must remain disambiguation pages, per standard Wikipedia policies.

  • Oppose: I see three topics (a novel and two films) entitled "The Contact" that are listed on the dab page, and I see no indication that this one is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term. —BarrelProof (talk) 20:08, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
