Chuck D interview[edit]

Isn't he actually presenting/"hosting" the docu? Was that another one with the same title?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.53.61.62 (talk) 12:00, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 24 May 2024[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Capitalisation not deemed sufficiently distinctive for WP:DIFFCAPS to apply. (closed by non-admin page mover) Polyamorph (talk) 14:11, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The N-Word → The N-Word (film) – Unlikely that this documentary film is the primary topic. Redirect The N-Word to Nigger, much like N-word, The n word, and The n-word already do. 162 etc. (talk) 05:29, 24 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Cremastra (talk) 13:03, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per WP:DIFFCAPS. This capitalized spelling could realistically be typed in by people seeking the film. Of course, the article doesn't seem to pass GNG as-is, so maybe the better choice would be deletion in which case it would auto-redirect to the lowercase version anyway. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:28, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support The film has 1,152 views but The N Word: One Man's Stand has 82, The Nigger of the "Narcissus" has 2,113 and N-word has 924[[1]] (despite being a redirect). Redirect to N-word (disambiguation) not the generic meaning per WP:SMALLDETAILS since the capitalization and article makes the generic meaning less likely. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:29, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:DIFFCAPS. The idea that someone typing "The" plus a hyphen and capital W would want anything other than the movie seems unlikely. But a hatnote easily takes care of that unlikely circumstance. Station1 (talk) 06:14, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support The capitalization is not distinctive here IMO. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:23, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination; Crouch, Swale and * Pppery *. Although my vote here runs counter to my Fashion Model → Fashion Model (film) "oppose" vote at the still-active Talk:Fashion Model#Requested move 9 May 2024, that choice is simply between the uppercase film Fashion Model and the lowercase profession fashion model. In this instance, the N-word (disambiguation) page has the primary topic and three other entries (plus a fourth entry, flowing to an unrelated Danish redirect). Ultimately, as pointed out in the nomination, there are a number of uppercase/lowercase forms in which the term can be rendered and, as far as the film's title is concerned, the nomination may be better positioned as The N-Word → The N Word (film) since the hyphen does not appear on either the poster or in the on-screen credits. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:55, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Is the capitalisation here distinctive? WP:DIFFCAPS? Cremastra (talk) 13:03, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move to The N-Word (2004 film) per WP:NCFILM. The proposed title seems too ambiguous with The N Word: One Man's Stand. Subtitles and taglines are often omitted when referring to films. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:03, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support this. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 19:47, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't that a book rather than a film? -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed that is a book, not a film. Sorry about that. Support, to more clearly identify the topic. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:39, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
