Number 111 (1919 film) → Number 111 (1920 film) – Any and all sources for this film show that it was was released in January of 1920. —NTD (talk) 14:20, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Support, yes, true.(KIENGIR (talk) 15:59, 1 March 2021 (UTC))
- Oppose - I went to verify the single reference in this article, and found it states the film's year as 1919. I've made the reference linkable for verification, and changed the dates in the article to 1919. If there are additional sources as NTD implies, they should be added to the article prior to this move being decided. -- Netoholic @ 08:22, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Netoholic:, I added a source for 1920, there may be more.(KIENGIR (talk) 13:56, 3 March 2021 (UTC))
- WP:Citing IMDb lists several problems with using that resource. There's no way to know if the release date on IMDb (which is provided by user-editors) is accurate. Book or news sources are what we'd really need. For example, I haven't found a single reference in Google Books results which gives anything other than a 1919 date. -- Netoholic @ 14:11, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Netoholic:, I looked up now another source, which is the best. I shows when the story was written, when shot, when released in Budapest, and when in Vienna, official datas.(KIENGIR (talk) 14:40, 3 March 2021 (UTC))
- @Paine Ellsworth:, the imdb source has been already replaced.(KIENGIR (talk) 20:59, 4 March 2021 (UTC))

Question/Problem
[edit]@Paine Ellsworth:, I disagree with the closing, because the source accuaretly states that only the book which the film was based on was written in 1919, while the film was first technically presented on 28 January 1920, and commercially released two days after...I don't think we should wait months to remedy this...(KIENGIR (talk) 03:13, 10 March 2021 (UTC))
- To editor KIENGIR: I know, and I can see how you would justify disagreement; however, I did do some research myself. It's not deep research and I only uncovered two other sources, Rate Your Music and Alchetron (mirror site of Wikipedia). As you can see, RYM gives the release date as 8 January 1920, while Alchetron just gives the release year as 1919. Seems to be no consistency in the sources, and in cases like this Wikipedia falls back on the long-term title and consensus. This article has been disambiguated as a 1919 film since it was first created in 2012. That's almost nine years of long-term consensus, and as a closer, I have to take that consensus into consideration. Consensus can change, so you are going to need more reliable, secondary, independent, English-language sources with a 1920 release date to overcome that long-term, community consensus. P.I.

- PS. Gentle reminder that when looking for reliable sources, watch out for "mirror sites" of Wikipedia, which will probably quote this article's text and show a 1919 release date. PS left by P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 04:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
