The result of the move request was: Not moved. The IP was blocked as an obvious sock. Anyone who feels strongly about the title is free to start their own RM. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 10:41, 30 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 (contribs • talk) 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]

I've now posted evidence above, IJBall. 213.205.242.131 (talk) 19:33, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Move to Museo (film) - and redirect museo to museum. Certainly, this film is not primary over this simple Spanish vocabulary word used in the title of many pages (Special:AllPages/Museo). -- Netoholic @ 19:19, 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]

• Support since English-language sources from this month (Variety and NBC News) write Museo. I searched for the director and actor together without the title, and these came up, so there was no inherent search bias for either Museo or Museum.

• Museo (film) and redirect 'Museo' to Museum, per Netoholic. Museo means museum, the film is not the primary. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:46, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  The existence of a dictionary definition does not mean that definition is the primary topic and anything else has to be disambiguated. Inception is a word that does not warrant an encyclopedic article, so it is used for the one film called that. Someone looking up "Museo" on the English-language Wikipedia should not be considered to be looking for a Spanish-language article about museums. Though I think a hatnote saying that "museo" means "museum" at this film's article post-move would be fine. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 00:25, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Before redirecting museo to museum (if applicable), verify it does not go against
