Bad Lands (1939 film) → Bad Lands (film) – There are four similar film titles at the Badlands (disambiguation) page — 1925's The Bad Lands, The Bad Lands (1939 film), 1973's Badlands (film) and 2014's Bad Land: Road to Fury. Since The Bad Lands is not styled as The Bad Lands (1925 film) and Badlands (film) is not styled as Badlands (1973 film), Bad Lands (1939 film) should be analogously streamlined as Bad Lands (film). Another RM which proposes the deletion of the year from the qualifier is currently active at Talk:Harbor Lights (1963 film).

 * Comment – Leaning "support" on this, but will wait to see other comments... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:57, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose stub on very minor western, and relies on a small difference to distinguish from the much better known Terence Malik film with Martin Sheen. Removing the year is only going to make like difficult for readers not help. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:13, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment  - leaning on "oppose" and other films fixed so The Bad Lands -> The Bad Lands (1925 film) and Badlands (film) -> Badlands (1973 film). As it stands though, nom is correct that this is the odd man out from those 3 films. --Gonnym (talk) 08:09, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I'll officially oppose this. This style makes absolutely no sense. Leave this and change the others. --Gonnym (talk) 05:12, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:SMALLDETAILS, and when spoken outloud, all of these sound the same, regardless of the space between Bad and Lands.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 08:15, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. As the nominator, I would also support Gonnym's alternative of leaving this main header unchanged and, instead, moving The Bad Lands → The Bad Lands (1925 film) and Badlands (film) → Badlands (1973 film).   Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:22, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Support – I think Bad Lands (film), The Bad Lands, and Badlands (film) are all sufficiently disambiguated from each other as per WP:SMALLDETAILS. However, if opinion goes the other way, then I'll support leaving this article where it is, but moving The Bad Lands → The Bad Lands (1925 film), and Badlands (film) → Badlands (1973 film), as the second option – if additional disambiguation is needed for this one here, then it's needed for all three. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:58, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per nom, and, yeah, WP:SMALLDETAILS. The year is unnecessary disambiguation. We can leave a redirect at the current title so that remains an option in any relevant search box, but I see no justification for leaving the year in the disambiguation information. I would also support moving this article to Bad Lands (but make Bad lands a redirect to Badlands), which is currently a redirect to Badlands .  I see no reason to believe that anyone bothering to enter B a d (space) shift-L a n d s is looking for the geological feature rather than this 1939 film. --В²C ☎ 23:09, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
