[edit] Description

Is this just the studio plot synopsis? Definitely reads like a description by someone who has not seen the movie... --Gothamgazette 09:43, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title

This movie is now titled The Holiday. Someone should change this article. Thanks.Bremen 08:58, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

  • It's moved. Thanks!

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was Move. —Wknight94 (talk) 00:39, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The Holiday (2006 film) → The Holiday – There's no other film with the title "The Holiday," so a disambig is unneeded. Right now, the space for "The Holiday" is occupied by a redirect to the Secularization of Christmas article, a redirect that doesn't make any sense. Crumbsucker 09:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~~~~
  • Oppose. The title is not so uncommon.--Semioli 13:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
    • What else is named "The Holiday"? Nothing notable on Wikipedia, or else the space would be occupied by an article. See the page for The Unit. A disambig is not needed since there's nothing else with the title. Note: This voter just began contributing on Wikipedia yesterday. Crumbsucker 11:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
      • 1) See Talk:Winning (film). 2) If you want to say something, say it straight, don't put ambiguous notes. I have the right to vote just like you.--Semioli 15:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Support if it will stop the edit warring. Otherwise, redirect to Holiday. --Usgnus 23:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative Move?

The above move was proposed on the basis that there were no other films of the same name but The Holiday (film) doesn't seem to have been considered as an option.

I don't know if any of these are notable but there are numerous books with the name according to a library search (e.g.: Erica James (who is a well known author), 2000; Constantine Fitzgibon, 1953; E.M. Crothers, 1921; Annie Mac, 1984; Guy Bellamy, 1996; Richmal Crompton, 1933; Dacia Maeraina [in Italian, translated 1968]; Michael Morley, 1926; Florence Margarent Smith [under pseudonym, Stevie smith], 1949; Carola Oman, 1928; K. Skelton, 1985; Roderick Hunt; Eric John Bamford; C. Lenanton), two newspapers (in Philidephia and Bangladesh). There is also The Holiday Album by Miracles; I don't know whether it is called The Holiday ever.

I'm guessing none of those are nearly as notable as this movie with Cameron Diaz and Jude Law and Kate Winslet, etc. Therefore, it should still be the main article with the others disambiguated. —Wknight94 (talk) 01:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I hadn't heard of the movie either, but looking at Google and the pages on these books, some are probably notable but nowhere near as much as the film, so I agree. I just noticed the books when you were about to move and thought it best to mention it, anyway.

I've done some editing to make it shorter! Don't worry, I've seen the movie. Dreamer893

[edit] Attempted Edits

While attempting to clean up some of the grammar and confusing/unprofessional wording of this article, I was unable to save due to a "blacklisted link". Unfortunately, I haven't got an abundance of experience in attempting article edits, and I don't know how to remove it. I myself added no links, so I'm assuming that there was a link put it originally that later became blacklisted. 156.34.74.65 12:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

That's probably correct. Did you find out what link it was? JFW | T@lk 22:23, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spielberg?

Does Spielberg also have a cameo? There's a bloke sitting behind Kate & Jack at the Writer's Guild ceremony that was either selected for his likeness or is actually big Steve doing a cameo. JFW | T@lk 22:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kissing?

Does the article really need the number of times and where the characters kiss? soldierx40k 02:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
