So...

...in America, the definition of "short subject" was almost the same as the American definition of "featurette"? What was the point of having the word "featurette", then? And what exactly did they call films shorter than 20 minutes? Esn 11:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard a short film called a short subject

Shouldn't the redirect be the other way around? --72.138.186.64 10:54, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably: the former does seem like both the most common term, and the contextually clearer. (Note that it's the main article for Category:Short films, for example, not Category:Short subjects.) Alai 17:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I say the lemma should be "short film". No-one says "short subject". Maikel (talk) 20:52, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like an obvious case of prioritizing technical terminology over common names. Someone should make a move request.

Bias

I never even heard of the industry term "short subject" before I tried to link to short film. The lead appears to be written from the perspective of film buffs rather than the average reader. Please fix this as soon as possible.

It says in the header: The description is now used almost interchangeably with short film'. Like all the others that have commented above, I too have never heard of the term "short subject", so this statement is probably incorrect these days. hence the move request below.

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion 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.

Moved to Short film. While the discussion here was sparse, there were no objections and the category is Category:Short films. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:19, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Short subject → Short Film — "Short Film" is the usual term these days, if "Short" is excluded because of its ambiguous meaning. --Jubilee♫clipman 15:21, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral but if it is to be moved it should be to Short film with lower case f, since it's not a proper noun. Station1 (talk) 05:25, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
