The result of the move request was: Consensus not to move (non-admin closure) — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 04:55, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pulse 3: Invasion → Pulse 3 – The title of the film is Pulse 3 not Pulse 3: Invasion — it instead appears to be an original research addition for some reason other than actual title accuracy. On more than one occasion now, an anonymous IP has gone around Wikipedia actively breaking links to this article by prematurely rewording them to the correct title despite the fact that it makes them redlinks, so I'm submitting this for discussion on their behalf since they likely don't know how to do it themselves — but if this is going to keep happening, then the title needs to be fixed. 115.133.88.144 (talk) 03:08, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Some sources call it Pulse 3, and some call it Pulse 3: Invasion. I don't see a good reason to move this. For example, Netflix calls it Pulse 3: Invasion (link), as does Bloody Disgusting (link). The IP's rationale is a boilerplate message used in several recent RMs. The rationale is copy-pasted from an RM made by Bearcat in Talk:Wishmaster: The Prophecy Fulfilled. I don't think that violates any specific policies, but it's weird that this IP editor is talking about him- or herself in the third person. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:22, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I can confirm, for the record, that the IP number who was being disruptive in the Wishmaster case was in the 115.13x range, so this is indeed almost certainly the same user. Unlike at Wishmaster, however, it's far less clear that our title is objectively wrong — the user provides no actual evidence to support the claim in this instance, but merely asserts it on an "it's true because I say it is" basis. But that's a verifiability fail without sourcing, and we need a much higher burden of evidence than what one anonymous IP merely claims to be true. And what I see on Der Google is a mix of both titles appearing in different sources — but while the sources for "Pulse 3" are mostly directories and BitTorrent sites that count for nothing, the sources for "Pulse 3: Invasion" are almost all real reviews in real media with some greater or lesser degree of genuine reliability. (Okay, okay, some of them are blogs. They're still a million times better than a BitTorrent listing.) So the burden of evidence here is still tilted toward the version with the subtitle. And no, I'm not impressed by having my statement from a superficially similar but not identical situation copy-pasted like this, either.
Added bonus: Pulse 3 EP, which while not supernotable is definitely not second fiddle to a direct-to-DVD horror film — the plain title has to be a dab page per WP:TWODABS, as neither topic really has a strong claim to preeminence over the other one, so the title proposed here is a complete non-starter.

Oppose move and comment: This is one of a long string of copy-and-paste move requests for film articles, all requested by IPs. Unless the nominator comes up with a reason for all the IP-hopping, I'm highly considering bringing the issue to WP:ANI. ONR (talk) 05:21, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pulse 3 (film) → Pulse 3 – Currently, Pulse 3 is a disambiguation page for two articles: this one, and an EP by the Future Sound of London. Currently, the other link is just a redirect to the artist's page, and should realistically be a redirect to their discography page instead. I suggest renaming this to Pulse 3 and adding a hatnote to the discography page. Sock (~~tock~~ talk) 22:48, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support as per WP:TWODABS (except this really isn't a "two DABS" situation – a hatnote will be adequate). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:31, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Film synopsis in dire need of editing

It reads as coming from someone who's native language is other than English, and so it just needs some work done to make it more coherent and scan more fluidly. I have never seen this movie, otherwise I would gladly do so. I'm afraid that if I try to make a guess on what some of these perplexing sentences are supposed to convey, I may be completely misrepresenting what actually happens in the film.
