This list is technically a sub-article of the main article for the film, so I think it is fair to carry the disambiguation term over. It is fully possible that another topic named La La Land could have their own list of accolades. I don't think it's that big of a deal.

Moonlight Riff @ Academy Awards?
Seems like it should be mentioned since that was such an historic Oscars moment..

I have just modified one external link on
List of accolades received by La La Land (film). Please take a moment to review
my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit
this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
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. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Move. Opposers have some compelling points, but at the end of the day, as several support !votes say, parentheses are only used when disambiguation from another subject of the same name is required, and there is no other article titled "List of accolades received by La La Land". It was stated that
WP:SHORTFORM is an essay, and therefore carries less weight, but it is really an explanatory supplement of the
WP:AT policy, and
BD2412 is correct that it lists several examples of articles that do not include the parentheses even when parent articles do.

As the main article is currently disambiguated, and is a featured list, this proposed move should seek consensus before being implemented.

Extended Reasoning – I can understand why this would become a formal move request. My main reason to get rid of "(film)" is because like I said, there is not another accolades article for any other subject called "La La Land". Obviously this would not be the case for the 2010 Showtime show of the same name either, as it only had 6 episodes. Plus, considering this film received six awards at the Oscars (and is even known for being the film that was involved in the biggest Oscars mistake), I think that should suffice for getting rid of "(film)" from this page.

WP:SHORTFORM is an essay. It's fine to bring up, but it does not have the weight of a policy or guideline.

Support nothing to disambiguate.

Oppose per Lugnuts. This article is essentially a sub-article of
La La Land (film), which itself is not a primary topic. There is no need to make the list sub-article title more ambiguous than the main article itself. This is precision under
WP:CRITERIA to ensure no confusion with awards for other works called La La Land.

Oppose per the Consistency criterion at
WP:NAMINGCRITERIA. If the main article has a disambiguated title then I think there is a compelling argument that the sub-articles should adopt the the same disambiguation. To be honest I think the nominator has a sound argument too so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Support. The current title suggests there is a film named "List of accolades received by La La Land". That is unacceptable. Even if there was another article listing the accolades of another La La Land sufficiently notable for this not to be the primary topic for this title and disambiguation would be required, we would have to find some other way to disambiguate it. But all that's moot because the likelihood of any other use of La La Land having enough accolades to warrant an article on the topic is very small. In the mean time, disambiguation here is totally unnecessary and unjustified. --

Support per Born2cycle and nominator. I find the disambiguation unnecessary. –

I assume that is the thrust of WP:SHORTFORM. I don't disagree with it completely, but I feel like we're stuck with technical limitations. We have no way to indicate that a sub-article is indeed a sub-article, which would make it easier to structure content in general (e.g., something like a heading, "La La Land (film) >> List of accolades"). We run into trouble dealing with disambiguation terms that are not at the end --
Category:Western (genre) films is one weird example. So I feel like we're compelled to put the film title at the end. I find that this is workable, and I don't really buy into the push to "clean up" by dropping the disambiguation term here because of the very technical argument that there is no other article called "List of accolades received by La La Land". Such article titles are purely descriptive and not really readily detectable even if we make them more ambiguous.

Either way the technical issue is decided, I think it would be helpful to place a hatnote, or a more elaborate tag, that the article is a subarticle of La La Land (film)? If (film) stays in the title it is obvious why, and if it goes, upon entering it is made clear where it belongs.
HoverfishTalk 22:52, 20 July 2017 (UTC) - If the term "sub-article" is not acceptable, maybe a wording to this effect instead.
HoverfishTalk 22:56, 20 July 2017 (UTC)reply
That said Music (Madonna (entertainer) album) looks pretty nasty and Music (Madonna album) is definitively unambiguous. I think SHORTFORM is valid in the case of double disambiguation because you should only ever need one disambiguator at most. I am not a fan of disambiguation terms slapped bang in the middle of the name either. List of accolades received by La La Land (film) doesn't look bad because the disambiguator comes at the end so it follows the regular formalism but Category:Western (genre) films looks wrong to me, and I wonder if Category:Western films (genre) would be better; it certainly looks more natural and has the same information value.
