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.

Page moved to The Piano Teacher (novel). Vegaswikian (talk) 23:56, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Die Klavierspielerin → The Piano Teacher — Per WP:EN, the novel should be referred to by its English title, and not the original German. The German title's article was originally a redirect, but in 2010 was created as a separate article, to differentiate itself from the film's article. Because the novel obviously came before the film adaptation, and was written by a Nobel Prize-winning author, per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC it should be the main article, with the disambiguation given to the film article.

The Piano Teacher → The Piano Teacher (film)

Survey

Oppose rename it to The Piano Teacher (novel), and keep the film where it is. Did the novel win the Nobel Prize? Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. The film clearly has accolades. There is no mention of any accolades for the novel, other than being selected to be adapted into a film. Just being written by someone notable does not make the novel of equal notability to the author. 65.93.15.125 (talk) 00:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and concur with the IP. The film is the primary topic for "The Piano Teacher". Dohn joe (talk) 18:48, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: page moved speedily as previous consensus (with correct NCB title) -- JHunterJ (talk) 16:56, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Piano Teacher → The Piano Teacher (novel) – The page was moved from the current name without any discussion, and against the current consensus. The Piano Teacher should become a disambig page (look at the incoming links to this page that aren't about the novel), and this should be moved to the disambig'd title, restoring the status quo.

Comment: The article title "The Piano Teacher (novel)" would be ambiguous. There's also "The Piano Teacher (Janice Y. K. Lee novel)", which was a New York Times bestseller and was a New York Times Editor's Choice. I think a better suggestion would be "The Piano Teacher (1983 novel)", or something along those lines. Gabbe (talk) 14:36, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me - thanks for pointing out there's another novel with this title. Lugnuts (talk) 16:42, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, it should be "The Piano Teacher (Jelinek novel)", per WP:NCB#Standard disambiguation. Gabbe (talk) 22:25, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

removing tag

After the addition of three critical sources, I feel like it's time for tag to come down. If it puts a bee in anyone's bonnet, please feel free to respond here. Icarus of old (talk) 16:58, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

summary

The summary focuses on some details while not mentioning certain plot stops at all. I have no idea how to improve it- the novel being, as it is, driven by language and its own structure rather than plot- but as it is, it reads as inaccurate and somewhat confusing. ~~LG 24.05.2021
