Then what is the primary topic, SSTflyer? — Film Fan 11:36, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
13 (number). SSTflyer 03:18, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"13th" is quite different from "13", SSTflyer. — Film Fan 12:21, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose No-one typing in "13th" in the search box would expect to find a semi-obscure documentary film as the result, it should go to the number. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 12:37, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Fairly obscure documentary against common term used all over the world. Surely not a serious nomination. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:48, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This needs to be fixed: 'The film begins in the hood an audio clip of former President'

The Civil War[edit]

In the film, they acted as if the 13th didn't do anything for African Americans. They acted as if it did nothing when thousands or more people died for such a cause to bring us one step closer to equality today. Somisista (talk) 02:07, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

13TH (film)13th (film) – Six of the eight external links in the article (excepting its Facebook and IMDb pages) refer to this film with the lowercased ordinal suffix. Fortune, Slate, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, The Guardian, The Washington Post, and just about every reliable source I've seen—that are not tied to Netflix itself—refer to this film as 13th, not 13TH. — fourthords | =Λ= | 20:51, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support per nomination. Use of uppercase letters is not justified by the occasional stylization (IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Facebook…) or even, possibly, on-screen credits, although the appended poster, which uses uppercase "T" and "H", does not even come close to enlarging those two letters to the same size as the number "13". —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 21:35, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - the film title officially has a capital TH. For a reason. We don't call "WALL·E" "Wall-E" and just because some publications didn't get the memo doesn't mean we should play ignorant along with them. — Film Fan 00:44, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    You say that the title of the film uses a capital "TH" (as opposed to "th") for a reason; if the article discussed that reason citing reliable sources, that might actually be a good rationale for keeping it where it is. However, in my admittedly brief research into the topic, I saw no such explanation for capitalization.

    With regards to the Pixar film, the location of that article seems to be dictated by what the preponderance of reliable sources call it. The article is located at WALL-E, not WALL·E, and while 18 of its cited sources do spell the film as Wall-E, 50 of them fully capitalize it.

    Lastly, the English Wikipedia's policy on article titles says, "Article titles are based on how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject." I don't want to enumerate that policy's five principal criteria for naming articles (though I find the lowercased ordinal suffix article title better fits them), but I will quote the next section which says, "Wikipedia generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources) as such names will usually best fit the criteria listed above." So, if the reliable sources that discuss this film refer to it as 13th, then yes, we will "play ignorant along with them." — fourthords | =Λ= | 03:03, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just for the record, WALL-E is an acronym, so per MOS:TM its title is appropriate. Nohomersryan (talk) 15:21, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom and Roman. Lugnuts Precious bodily fluids 08:03, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support move per nom and Roman, plus WP:MOSCAPS and other miscellaneous policies. To make it short, there is no way 13TH (film) is an acceptable name for the page.  ONR  (talk)  13:29, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. This film's title is obviously meant to be "13th" and there is no reason to capitalize the TH per WP policy. Nohomersryan (talk) 15:21, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per MOS:ALLCAPS, "Reduce text written in all capitals in trademarks." This is further supported by MOS:TMRULES, "Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization practices, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting 'official', as long as this is a style already in widespread use, rather than inventing a new one," with examples like Time over TIME and ASUS over Asus. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 17:26, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per the above-cited MOS issues. There is also the fact that the current title resulted from an undiscussed move, so the default outcome should be to revert that move. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:16, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Armond White review[edit]

African-American critic Armond White described the film as "politically correct, dull, and cowardly."
