BFI → BFI (disambiguation) – This nomination is similar to the failed one at Talk:TCM. At the BFI dab page, the only entry which is regularly and widely referenced as "BFI" is the British Film Institute, to which BFI should redirect.

 * Support: and this should probably be a multimove proposal, to move British Film Institute to BFI as its common name and the one it uses itself throughout its website at http://www.bfi.org.uk/about-bfi . Pam  D  08:45, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose. Are there are some traffic stats to support this? In North America, the logo for waste collection company Browning Ferris Industries was fairly ubiquitous, and is still in use in some localities. older ≠ wiser 10:20, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Strongly support. A quick Google search for the term brings up results only about the British Film Institute. Thus, moving the page will be useful to the average user. Do the Danse Macabre! (Talk) 23:25, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Weakly oppose The film institute seems to be the most widely known one, but Google results indicate it is not overwhelmingly 100% so, so I've turned to page stats, which do not indicate that this page is the clear overwhelmingly most likely target of all of the topics on the disambiguation page.--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and discussion. BFI, the film institute which carries the initials as its common and most recognizable name, should be at primary redirect. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:45, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and Randy Kryn. Also, if apropriate here, I support moving British Film Institute to BFI per PamD. Hoverfish Talk 10:07, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
