 * MOS/Film naming conventions say that If the film title itself is in doubt, give precedence to what is printed on the film. Looking at the film, the title is listed as Hamlet: The Drama of Vengeance.
 * WP:NCDAB says Natural disambiguation that is unambiguous, commonly used, and clear is generally preferable to parenthetical disambiguation. Although many sources just list the title as Hamlet, there are a decent amount that list the full name, including the following books:
 * 1. Hamlet: Revised Edition edited by Ann Thompson et al. 2. Shakespeare in the Movies by Douglas Brode 3. The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare on Film by Russell Jackson 4. Screen Adaptation: Impure Cinema by Deborah Cartmel et al. 5. 100 Shakespeare Films by Daniel Rosenthal. 6. Shakespeare on Screen by Kenneth Sprague Rothwell et al. 7. Shakespeare and His Contemporaries in Performance by Edward J. Esche. 8. A History of Shakespeare on Screen by Kenneth S. Rothwell. 9. No Hamlets by Andreas Höfele. 10. Shakespeare and the Imprints of Performance by J. Gavin Paul.
 * Support per detailed nomination. The main title header of the film's entry should reflect the title's on-screen form, with Hamlet (1921 film) serving as a redirect. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:04, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
