Requested move 18 February 2023
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was:
- Brussels International Film Festival (BRIFF) moved to Brussels International Film Festival (2018–present). Consensus formed for this move, in line with the prior consensus established at Wikipedia:Name (acronym).
- Brussels Film Festival reached no consensus. Though it was argued that BRFF is the only film festival to have had the exact "Brussels Film Festival" name, and that the BRFF article should thus take over that title, it was also argued that BRFF has a high risk of confusion with BRIFF even despite the differences in name. Neither of these arguments appears to have significantly outweighed the other one, leading to my no-consensus finding.
- Brussels Film Festival (BRFF) moved to Brussels International Film Festival (1974–2016). The lack of consensus for moving Brussels Film Festival led to the DAB page's current title being retained, so the "Brussels Film Festival" title is not open for this article to move to. However, there is nevertheless consensus that the article should move away from its current title, again due to Wikipedia:Name (acronym). Consequently, the best choice is to move this article to the other title proposed in this RM: namely, Brussels International Film Festival (1974–2016).
As this discussion was lightly attended, all consensus that formed here was of a loose variety, so no prejudice to future RMs at any time (as long as those RMs are not attempting to reinstate the Name (acronym) format).

- Brussels Film Festival (BRFF) → Brussels Film Festival
- Brussels International Film Festival (BRIFF) → Brussels International Film Festival (2018–present)
- Brussels Film Festival → Brussels Film Festival (disambiguation)
- Tricky one here. It seems that BRFF was known as "Brussels International Film Festival" for most of its existence, so move to Brussels International Film Festival (1974–2016), and Support the proposed move of the BRIFF article to Brussels International Film Festival (2018–present). Oppose moving the dabpage, even though there is only one exact match, it's too easily confused, no primary topic. 162 etc. (talk) 19:19, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom as it makes no sense to have both the name and acronym in the title. (Consensus was reached against a similar thing here as well.) BhamBoi (talk) 05:57, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
