On 22 November 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to Captain Phillips. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Censored in China

The film could not be screened in China because its content would not /was not acceptable to the government there (https://www.uscc.gov/sites/default/files/Research/Directed%20by%20Hollywood%20Edited%20by%20China.pdf). Is this worthy of mention in the article? 37.99.49.197 (talk) 11:21, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a note to the same effect based on an article from Reuters.[1] I have not taken the interpretation that it was censored exactly but I have made a more neutral statement that the film was unable to secure a release (since only a limited number of Hollywood films are given a release slot in China) and that as a result Sony were then worried about the profitability of the film. -- 109.77.193.6 (talk) 23:13, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 22 November 2024

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus not to move as there is no primary topic between the film and the real-life captain's article based on page views or navigations. (closed by non-admin page mover) Raladic (talk) 04:39, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Captain Phillips (film) → Captain Phillips – WP:PRIMARYTOPIC over Captain Phillips (soundtrack) per pageviews. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 04:38, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The above page views fail to account for the real life Captain Phillips. See [2]. ~~ Jessintime (talk) 16:03, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, no PRIMARYTOPIC.--Ortizesp (talk) 16:33, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose. WP:NOPRIMARYTOPIC with the real life Captain Phillips.~~ Support. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC based on pageviews. It is only one of two articles with the title “Captain Phillips”. Move Captain Phillips to Captain Phillips (disambiguation). Theparties (talk) 19:02, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The real-life Phillips is commonly referred to by sources as "Captain Richard Phillips", which is almost the same as "Captain Phillips", so it is plausible readers looking for the real-life Captain Phillips will simply type "Captain Phillips" in the search bar. Pageviews are too close to identify a primary topic. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:27, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
