Requested move
[edit]Reason: the disambiguation page "Bummer" has only one blue link, i.e. there is only one article on "Bummer", which should be on that page. A dab page is unnecessary because there is nothing to dab. Neonumbers 09:24, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Discussion
[edit]- I've moved this page, due to its lack of opposition and the fact that the reason for the requested move makes sense to me. —Cleared as filed. 02:52, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Please, please, bummer is not supposed to redirect here. Makes no sense. I wouldn't care, except that a friend of mine continually uses the word, and I should like to see the various meanings for it on Wikipedia (which surely must exist). Thanks.
there is a mistake in the text. "Black bumer" by Seryoga is NOT on the soundtrack to this movie. Check the soundtrack section at IMDB.
English translation of the original title
[edit]The original title of the movie is Бумер.
The word "Бумер" in Russian is a slang name for a BMW-brand car. It is quite exact equivalent of the word "Bummer" in English.
So - providing that western distributor(s) did NOT alter the title for English-speaking markets - the correct English translation of original title Бумер should be Bummer (not Bumer, Boomer or anything else)!
I did change the translation in this article some time ago, but my edition has been reversed within minutes. This is why I write here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michal 5000 (talk • contribs) 11:30, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
The DVD from amazon for PAL5 region is Bimmer. The NTSC version is given as Bummer/Bumer. Note only 1 m. That is because it is a direct transliteration of the letters Бумер 86.44.71.5 (talk) 11:06, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Bummer poster.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Bummer poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Bimmer (film) → Bimmer — No conflicting use of this title. A hatnote can be used instead. PC78 (talk) 02:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- Comment the primary topic is BMW, though, not the film... "bimmer" is common automotive slang. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 04:57, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- It's just a slang term (and not one that I've heard before; "Beamer" is more usual, AFAIK); BMW is not the primary topic here, and users can be directed to that article via a hatnote. That's at no less convenience than the current dabpage, while avoiding the unnecessary disambiguation for the film. PC78 (talk) 11:21, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose the primary topic is BMW. Per the first sentence in the article, the film is named after this slang term for the car. If anything Bimmer should redirect to BMW and BMW should have the hatnote that says "Bimmer redirects here, for the film see Bimmer (film)." --Born2cycle (talk) 20:10, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. Google web, book and news archive results (searched using <bimmer bmw>) show massive use of the term as a slang for BMW (verses negligible result for <bimmer Buslov>), suggesting that the vast majority entering the term here will be looking for BMW.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:28, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
