The Green Knight (film)The Green KnightThe Green Knight is currently a redirect to Green Knight which is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the Green Knight (disambiguation) page. Anyone researching the mythical character will still have direct access by simply typing "Green Knight", "Green knight", "The Green knight" or even "The green knight". On the other hand, anyone wishing to find the film article, will have direct access by typing "The Green Knight" where a hatnote will direct all others — For other uses, see Green Knight (disambiguation). — Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 21:44, 31 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

I would say Oppose, since this is a film based on the character/poem of the Green Knight. Simply having the “The” in front of the article title doesn’t seem like enough of a differential to me personally. TropicAces (talk) 23:52, 31 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
WP:DIFFCAPS is a guideline which assists us with ​situations like this one. A definite article (i.e. "the") is usually enough of a difference to justify keeping titles as proposed. Sean Stephens (talk) 07:59, 1 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
How does removing (film) assist anyone to find the film? Please explain. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:08, 1 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
Easy. It's a shorter title, thus readers will have to type fewer characters then the alternative. The short description (if searching on mobile) would confirm that they have found the correct page. Per Roman Spinner above, there are four redirects in place which lead to "Green Knight", hence anyone looking for that article will find it. Sean Stephens (talk) 02:10, 2 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
I think extrapolating to "many others" may be pushing it based it on your own experience, but I could be wrong... It definitely doesn't hold true for me. In my own personal experience, I rarely type a full article title and select one of the dropdown options provided me, which typically appear faster than I type (on a computer, using the arrow keys; on a phone, using a tap). I would have expected that to be the workflow of most others, but in the same way, that's extrapolating my own way of doing things onto others. -2pou (talk) 20:13, 3 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
That's a fair assessment, and I guess I could be wrong in that regard (in the same way you could be also). We'll probably never know which method of searching is more prevalent. What you described is generally how I search for articles here, although that may well be because of my time editing here, and knowing as a result that names of things are often ambiguous.

On the other hand, no claim is being made that The Green Knight (film) is the primary topic over the Arthurian character who would remain the primary topic of the Green Knight (disambiguation) page. The proposed standalone film title "The Green Knight" would be more akin to the standalone stub with the main title header The Greene Knight, which is actually how the Arthurian character's name was originally styled. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 15:42, 2 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

The general consensus seems to be oppose, so will this discussion be coming to an end soon or? Dcdiehardfan (talk) 06:45, 7 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Dcdiehardfan: There are still some hours left before the discussion has been open a full 7 days, and even then it will only be closed by an uninvolved editor. What typically happens is closers will wait until discussions enter the elapsed or backlog sections before looking for closable discussions. -2pou (talk) 07:31, 7 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Characters

I've changed the wording of the plot. I've just watched the film (great watch by the way!). At no point are the characters named or called Arthur, Guinevere, Morgan le Fay, etc. While the film certainly is based upon the Arthurian legend and might even hint at the characters, we'll have to take the film as is. The credits don't list them either and neither does IMDb. It will need proper third-party coverage. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 18:22, 12 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
