Mayday (film)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparently the subject of this article is identical to that of Mayday (2005 TV film). There is no need for Wikipedia to have two articles about the exact same film. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 02:10, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Redirect - From what I can tell from the histories of these two articles, a stub version of "Mayday (2005 film)" was moved to "Mayday (film)" here back in Spring of 2014. It was expanded upon for a while, then move "Mayday (film)" to "Mayday (2005 TV film)" here. But instead of leaving the redirect alone, Bzuk replace the redirect with a paste of the full original article. I'm assuming this was accidental and the solution is to simply revert back to the most recent move action. --  &#124;  Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  02:42, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - Tokyogirl79 has the better solution below. Mayday (film) should be the final destination for the subject. -- &#124;  Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  16:00, 4 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect per Uncle Milty. The two pages are almost exactly the same (the only differences being paragraph spacing, minor reference formatting and a stub tag), so no substantive content will be lost by redirecting. /wiae   /tlk  04:45, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

I agree with all the above, the "move" was to actually switch the articles, and I assumed that the earlier article which I had worked on independently would disappear, apparently not. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 15:46, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'd actually endorse moving the 2005 film back to this title. A quick search on IMDb shows that there are television shows with this name, but only one short film with this title. A search for the short doesn't bring up anything to show that the film would pass NFILM any time soon. There's another film by the name Maydays, but that'd be under a different title. I think that the best option here would be to move the 2005 film back to this title and add a hatnote that directs users to the disambiguation page for mayday. If there ever are other films with the same or similar titles that gain articles, they can always be directed to the disambiguation page that way. Basically, despite the assertion that there are other films, I can only find two with similar titles and neither one offhand seem notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia, so they likely wouldn't be on the disambiguation page anyway.

 * How the serious hell did this happen? Hahahahaha. Anyway, Speedy move the "Mayday (2005 TV film)" to here per above. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 11:53, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect I suppose as this is currently questionable. SwisterTwister   talk  05:50, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
