The result of the move request was: Move. We have consensus that the filmmaker is the primary topic of the name "Godard". Cúchullain t/ c 16:24, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Godard → Godard (disambiguation) – Godard should redirect to the acclaimed filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard; the surname is generally understood to refer to him when used unqualified (e.g. Godard's Passion, Carlton + Godard = Cinema, Godard/Spillane, Godard on Godard). His monolithic status is comparable to Hitchcock/Kubrick/Spielberg/Scorsese in that discussions on his films frequently omit his given name; it's simply not necessary as the name is assuredly meaning him in almost every context. Search results in books for "Godard" are naturally all about him.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 04:40, 29 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose this inappropriate primarytopic grab. Disambig page is better.  Dicklyon (talk) 05:26, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Support this appropriate primarytopic grab per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, and because filmmakers as noted as Godard tend to be well-known by their surnames only... disambig page is not better. Nohomersryan (talk) 05:56, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Support - Decent evidence provided that "Godard" prominently means "Jean-Luc Godard" MelanieLamont (talk) 22:03, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Support on same level of notoriety as Kubrick et al. perhaps you mean "mononymic status", not "monolithic status"  — JFG talk 09:01, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
