Museum (2018 film)MuseoWP:COMMONNAME. Reviews and promo materials as evidence, with no contrary evidence. The film played at the Berlin Film Festival and some sources titled it "Museum" there, but when released theatrically seven months later, all sources titled it "Museo". Metacritic, Twitter, Facebook, Film Forum, Ebert, NYT, Trailer, Variety, Chicago Tribune, WSJ, Film Journal, LAT. 213.205.242.131 (talk) 17:10, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Comment: I can't make heads or tails of this as Ref #1 does not mention the subject, Ref #2 is a dead link, and Refs #3 and #4 call the film "Museum". So I'm leaning "oppose" based on the evidence presented. --IJBall (contribstalk) 17:32, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Web archive of the Berlin FF site shows it as Museum Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:49, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Berlin is irrelevant. The film was released long after that. 213.205.242.131 (talk) 18:29, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
He's a source from variety. --Gonnym (talk) 18:16, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, Gonnym. I've now posted several other sources above. 213.205.242.131 (talk) 19:33, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
And one from The Hollywood Reporter (for Museum). But what are the chances of an IP editor just popping up and knowing how to do a RM and cite a core policy? Unless, of course, it's a sock of a blocked user who has form in this area, such as Film Fan, for example. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:28, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

There are no other articles titled Museo. 213.205.242.131 (talk) 19:33, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT - inflections and variations of a word usually redirect to the base article for that word. Redirecting a non-English vocabulary word fits that bill. Since museo must redirect to museum, the film needs disambiguation. -- Netoholic @ 19:43, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
No, that doesn't apply to foreign words. 213.205.242.131 (talk) 21:28, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) - Redirects from native and other historically relevant names are encouraged. -- Netoholic @ 22:10, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
You misunderstand the policy. You only redirect from native names when you're redirecting to an article that is relevant to that country/language. Redirecting Museo to Museum makes little sense here. The word "museo" is not relevant to the "museum" article. It isn't mentioned there. Even a hatnote linking to the "museum" article is not required. Anyone looking up "museo" won't be looking for anything besides this film. 213.205.242.131 (talk) 01:39, 29 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
